Mobile Microwave Radiometer Observations: Spatial Characteristics of Supercooled Cloud Water and Cloud Seeding Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies of the spatial distribution of supercooled liquid water in winter storms over mountainous terrain were performed primarily with instrumented aircraft and to a lesser extent with scans from a stationary ...
Load Capacity of Row of Shear Late Connectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on 69 tests, recommendations are made for immediate revision o design standards and necessary additional research on timber connectors. he mean safety factor for four‐connector joints is alarmingly low at .88 for the ...
The Direct Measurement of the Sizes, Shapes and Kinematics of Falling Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinematic behavior of hailstones falling in their natural environment near the surface was studied using stroboscopic photography in a mobile van. The experimental results permitted determination of the shape and ...
Physical Response of Convective Clouds over the Sierra Nevada to Seeding with Dry Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of seeding convective clouds with dry ice was studied using simultaneous aircraft and radar observations. Clouds that were initially ice-free with supercooled liquid water contents of 0.5 g m?3 when the tops ...
Australian Winter Storms Experiment (AWSE) I: Supercooled Liquid Water and Precipitation-Enhancement Opportunities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some results of the first (1988) Australian Winter Storms Experiment are described. The results shed light on precipitation-enhancement opportunities in winter cyclonic storms interacting with the Great Dividing Range of ...
Evaluating Multiobjective Outcomes for Hazard Resilience and Sustainability from Enhanced Building Seismic Design Decisions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the idea that green buildings should be designed to withstand higher extreme loads (loads associated with earthquakes or other hazards) to reduce the environmental impacts associated with posthazard ...
The Concentration Polarization Effect in Frozen Erythrocytes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An ideal, hydrated, nondilute pseudo-binary solution model is presented to describe the concentration polarization of solutes within cells during osmotic experiments. This model has been applied ...
Investigations of a Winter Mountain Storm in Utah. Part III: Single-Doppler Radar Measurements of Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This Part III of a multipart paper deals with the analysis of turbulent motion in a winter storm, which occurred over the mountains of southwest Utah. The storm was documented with a long duration single Doppler radar ...
Dynamics of Flexible Manipulator Arms: Alternative Derivation, Verification, and Characteristics for Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work seeks to provide an effective way for developing the dynamics of a multi-link flexible manipulator consisting of rotary joints connecting two links. Kinematics of both the rotary joint ...
