Fully Coupled Three Dimensional Dynamic Response of a Tension Leg Platform Floating Wind Turbine in Waves and Wind
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dynamic model for a tensionleg platform (TLP) floating offshore wind turbine is proposed. The model includes threedimensional wind and wave loads and the associated structural response. The total system is formulated ...
Small-Scale Variability in Warm Continental Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have analyzed small-scale fluctuations in microphysical, dynamical and thermodynamical parameters measured in two warm cumulus clouds during the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) project (1981) in ...
Turbulent Mixing, Spectral Evolution and Dynamics in a Warm Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The analysis of Paluch suggests that some cumuli contain cloudy air from only two sources: cloud base and cloud top. A framework is presented for the investigation of droplet spectral evolution in clouds composed of air ...
Spectral Density of Cloud Liquid Water Content at High Frequencies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft measurements of liquid water content (LWC) made at sampling frequencies of 1 and 2 kHz with a particle volume monitor (PVM) probe from horizontal traverses in stratocumulus clouds during the Southern Ocean Cloud ...
A Parameterization of Warm Clouds for Use in Atmospheric General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple parameterizations of droplet effective radius in stratiform and convective clouds are presented for use in global climate models. Datasets from subtropical marine stratocumulus, continental and maritime convective ...
The Southern Ocean Waves Experiment. Part III: Sea Surface Slope Statistics and Near-Nadir Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Southern Ocean Waves Experiment (SOWEX), registered ocean wave topography and backscattered power data at Ka band (36 GHz) were collected with the NASA Scanning Radar Altimeter (SRA) off the coast of Tasmania ...
Rain in Shallow Cumulus Over the Ocean: The RICO Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shallow, maritime cumuli are ubiquitous over much of the tropical oceans, and characterizing their properties is important to understanding weather and climate. The Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign, ...
