The Slow Sea Surface Temperature Mode and the Fast-Wave Limit: Analytic Theory for Tropical Interannual Oscillations and Experiments in a Hybrid Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A modified shallow water model with simplified mixed layer dynamics and a sea surface temperature (SST) equation is employed to gain a theoretical understanding of the modes and mechanisms of coupled air-sea interaction ...
GPS as Fast Surveying Tool
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Global positioning system (GPS) equipment, the world's best electronic distance measuring machines (EDMs), are becoming faster and easier to use. Not only does one use this new portable equipment to establish distance, but ...

A Hybrid Coupled General Circulation Model for El Niño Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model is developed for tropical air?sea interaction studies, which is intermediate in complexity between the large coupled general circulation models (coupled GCMs) coming into use and the simple two-level models with ...
Deep Convective Organization, Moisture Vertical Structure, and Convective Transition Using Deep-Inflow Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIt is an open question whether an integrated measure of buoyancy can yield a strong relation to precipitation across tropical land and ocean, across the seasonal and diurnal cycles, and for varying degrees of ...
Discussion: “A Method for Predicting the Performance of Steam Turbine-Generators....: 16,500 kw and Larger” (Spencer, R. C., Cotton, K. C., and Cannon, C. N., 1963, ASME J. Eng. Power, 85, pp. 249–298)

Laser Direct-Part Marking of Data Matrix Symbols on Carbon Steel Substrates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Certain applications have recently appeared in industry where a traditional bar code printed on a label will not survive because the item to be tracked has to be exposed to harsh environments. ...
A Quasi-Equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model—Formulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A class of model for simulation and theory of the tropical atmospheric component of climate variations is introduced. These models are referred to as quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation models, or QTCMs, because they ...
