Educational Aspects of the Solar Splash Regatta
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The rationale behind and the educational goals of the Solar Splash intercollegiate solar/electric boat competition are examined. An assessment is made as to how well these educational goals are ...
Spatial Variability of Major Frontal Systems in the North Atlantic-Norwegian Sea Area: 1980–81
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Locations of strong frontal systems in the upper 350 m of the North Atlantic-Norwegian Sea area are identified using data from nearly 2300 AXBTs deployed over a period spanning both winter and summer seasons. Approximate ...
Waterline Oscillation and Riprap Movement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eight test runs using a 1:3 glued gravel slope with an impermeable base were conducted in a wave tank to evaluate and calibrate the numerical model developed previously. For each run with the specified incident wave train ...
An Experimental Investigation of Solid-State Phase-Change Materials for Solar Thermal Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of this study is to determine and produce the thermal properties of solid-state phase-change materials appropriate for solar system space heating storage (transition temperatures in the ...
Geographical Variations of the Influence of Low-Frequency Variability on Lower-Tropospheric Extreme Westerly Wind Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A conceptual framework is developed for quantifying the relationship between low-frequency variability and extreme events. In this framework, variability is decomposed into low-frequency and synoptic components using ...
Perspective from the United States: Tensions between “Getting It Done” and “Getting It Right”
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For over 2 decades, and in response to complaints that arbitration was too expensive and too time consuming, the American construction bar has been energetic and innovative in developing a broad array of dispute resolution ...
Short-Range Forecasting and Nowcasting Using a Simple, Isentropic Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recent advancement of mini- and microcomputers into the local-work environment can provide local forecast offices with the capability to run simple numerical models for specific nowcasting and short-term forecast needs. ...
Effect of Wave-Enhanced Bottom Friction on Storm-Driven Circulation in Massachusetts Bay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Massachusetts Bay is a shallow (35 m average depth) semienclosed embayment, roughly 100 × 50 km, which opens into the Gulf of Maine at its eastern boundary. Surface waves associated with winter storm winds from the northeast ...
