Scour Due to Riprap and Improper Filters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scour is usually associated with high velocities, elevated levels of turbulence, and negative piezometric gradients. Riprap and filters have been used to eliminate scour from these sources. Attention is drawn to piezometric ...
BIOMCH-L: An Electronic Mail Discussion List for Biomechanics and Kinesiology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Long-Term Record of Aerosol Optical Depth from TOMS Observations and Comparison to AERONET Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of backscattered near-ultraviolet radiation from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on board the Nimbus-7 (1979?92) and the Earth Probe (mid-1996 to present) satellites have been used to derive a ...
Parameters for the Collapse of Turbulence in the Stratified Plane Couette Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWe perform direct numerical simulation of the Couette flow as a model for the stable boundary layer. The flow evolution is investigated for combinations of the (bulk) Reynolds number and the imposed surface buoyancy ...
Shear Capacity as Prognostic for Nocturnal Boundary Layer Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ield observations and theoretical analysis are used to investigate the appearance of different nocturnal boundary layer regimes. Recent theoretical findings predict the appearance of two different regimes: the continuously ...
Near-Surface Temperature Inversion Growth Rate during the Onset of the Stable Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study aims to find the typical growth rate of the temperature inversion during the onset of the stable boundary layer around sunset. The sunset transition is a very challenging period for numerical weather ...
The United States' Next Generation of Atmospheric Composition and Coastal Ecosystem Measurements: NASA's Geostationary Coastal and Air Pollution Events (GEO-CAPE) Mission
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ationary Coastal and Air Pollution Events (GEO-CAPE) mission was recommended by the National Research Council's (NRC's) Earth Science Decadal Survey to measure tropospheric trace gases and aerosols and coastal ocean ...
