Time-Varying Response of ENSO-Induced Tropical Pacific Rainfall to Global Warming in CMIP5 Models. Part II: Intermodel Uncertainty
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAnomalous rainfall in the tropical Pacific driven by El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a crucial pathway of ENSO?s global impacts. The changes in ENSO rainfall under global warming vary among the models, even ...
Seasonal Changes in Tropical SST and the Surface Energy Budget under Global Warming Projected by CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal changes in tropical SST under global warming are investigated based on the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) and historical runs in 31 models from phase 5 of CMIP (CMIP5). The tropical SST changes ...
Enlarged Asymmetry of Tropical Pacific Rainfall Anomalies Induced by El Niño and La Niña under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEl Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most important sources of climate interannual variability. A prominent characteristic of ENSO is the asymmetric, or so-called nonlinear, local rainfall response to ...
Study on Oil Film and Pressure Distribution of Micro-EHL
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Micro-EHL problems of line contact have been solved by Newton-Raphson method. The results are given from the zero roughness amplitude to the value higher than the film thickness in the smooth ...
Physics-Based Modeling for Lap-Type Joints Based on the Iwan Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study proposed a physics-based heuristic modeling for the nonlinear constitutive relation of bolted joints based on the Iwan model accompanying with the rough surface contact theory. The approach led to an Iwan ...
Climatology and Interannual Variability of Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limatology and interannual variability of convectively coupled equatorial wave (CCEW) activity, including the mixed Rossby?gravity (MRG), tropical-depression-type (TD-type), equatorial Rossby (ER), and Kelvin waves, are ...
A Multimodel Ensemble Pattern Regression Method to Correct the Tropical Pacific SST Change Patterns under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study develops a new observational constraint method, called multimodel ensemble pattern regression (EPR), to correct the projections of regional climate change by the conventional unweighted multimodel mean (MMM). The ...
Weakening of the Tropical Atmospheric Circulation Response to Local Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn the tropics, the atmospheric circulation response to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is a crucial part of the tropical air?sea interaction?the primary process of tropical climate. How it will change under ...
Dry Sliding Wear Studies of Copper Based Powder Metallurgy Brake Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper focuses on a novel friction material on Cubased powder metal material. Several elements, such as Al, SiO2, Fe, graphite, Sn, Mn, and MoS2 were added to the Cu and were developed by PM techniques. The aim of the ...
Multilevel Solution of the Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Concentrated Contacts in Spiroid Gears
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new method for analyzing the lubrication performance of spiroid gears, which combines the elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis with LTCA. The LTCA provides the geometry ...
