A Simple Parameterization Scheme of Evapotranspiration over Land for the NMC Medium-Range Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of a simple bucket method to parameterize the evapotranspiration over land has been found to overestimate the latent heat flux in the global spectral model at the National Meteorological Center. A new parameterization ...
Photoelastic Determination of Stress Intensity Factor of an Interfacial Crack in a Bi-material
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stress intensity factor of an interfacial crack in a bi-material can be represented by a complex vector whose phase changes as a function of r , the radial distance from a crack tip. ...
Groundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Induced by Irrigation from Polluted River Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Groundwater contamination experiments using irrigation water from the polluted Kuihe River were conducted at the Hanwang hydrological field station, near Xuzhou City. As part of this study, a numerical model was developed ...
Sensitivity of Hurricane Intensity Forecast to Convective Momentum Transport Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization of the convection-induced pressure gradient force (PGF) in convective momentum transport (CMT) is tested for hurricane intensity forecasting using NCEP's operational Global Forecast System (GFS) and its ...
Revision of Convection and Vertical Diffusion Schemes in the NCEP Global Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new physics package containing revised convection and planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?s Global Forecast System is described. The shallow convection (SC) scheme ...
Reliability Analysis of Flip Chip Designs Via Computer Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A flip chip component is a silicon chip mounted to a substrate with the active area facing the substrate. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the relationship between a ...
Convective Trigger Function for a Mass-Flux Cumulus Parameterization Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A precipitation physics package for the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Regional Spectral Model designed to improve the skill of precipitation forecasts is proposed. The package incorporates a prognostic ...
Nonlocal Boundary Layer Vertical Diffusion in a Medium-Range Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the incorporation of a simple atmospheric boundary layer diffusion scheme into the NCEP Medium-Range Forecast Model is described. A boundary layer diffusion package based on the Troen and Mahrt nonlocal ...
Application of Grid-Work Girders of Grouted Oblique Steel Pipe Piles for Reinforcement of Embankments with Slope Deformation Failure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In special situations, the treatment plan for embankment failure is hindered by cracking and sliding failure in highway embankment slopes. For example, the prestressed anchor cable or bolt frame beam is not suitable as the ...
A Modified Newmark Analysis of Lateral Spreading Based on Liquefaction Initiation Time
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The displacement of lateral spreading induced by liquefaction is of great interest to engineering practice. In this paper, a modified Newmark sliding block method was proposed to predict the displacement magnitude of lateral ...
