RISPrewhitening of Climatological Time Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most common procedures to prewhite a climatological time series are considered and compared with those based on Fourier analysis. In particular, advantages and shortcomings of the anomaly method and the seasonal ...
Spatial Superposition Method via Model Coupling for Urban Heat Island Albedo Mitigation Strategies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: spatial superposition design is presented that couples the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with the National Center of Excellence (NCE) lumped ...
Energy Balance Associated With a Mixing Process at the Interface of a Two Layer Longitudinal Atmospheric Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several examples illustrating the energy balance associated with a mixing process at the interface of a planar dynamical model describing twophase perfect fluid circulating around a circle with a sufficiently large radius ...
Comments on “Flash Flood Verification: Pondering Precipitation Proxies”

Common Pathologies in Composite Adobe and Reinforced Concrete Constructions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adobe construction is an important part of the built heritage in the Central Region of Portugal. The protection and rehabilitation of buildings of this type is becoming of increasing interest. In-depth knowledge will enable ...
Improvement of Axle Load Spectra Characterization by a Mixture of Three Distributions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic is one of the most important variables used in pavement design methods. There are currently two methods for characterizing wheel load repetitions: equivalent single axle load (ESAL) and load spectra, which is a ...
A Neglected Water Resource: The Camanchaca of South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many parts of the world are currently suffering water shortages. Few areas, however, have as little precipitation and groundwater available to alleviate the problem as does the northern coast of Chile. The historical ...
The Influence of the Andes on Cutoff Lows: A Modeling Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cutoff low (COL) pressure system that occurred in March 2005 (late austral summer) over the subtropical southeast Pacific is examined by means of numerical simulations using the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) ...
Dispersed Storage as Stormwater Runoff Control in Consolidated Urban Watersheds with Flash Flood Risk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents the results of analyzing the use of dispersed storage tanks as a low impact development (LID) alternative to mitigate the flash flood risk in consolidated urban watersheds in Barranquilla, Colombia. ...
Hydrologic Evaluation of NWP-Adjusted CMORPH Estimates of Hurricane-Induced Precipitation in the Southern Appalachians
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite-retrieved precipitation has the potential to support flood modeling in mountainous areas. However, to reach this potential satellite estimates need to be corrected for the severe underestimation exhibited in ...
