The Double-ITCZ Problem in IPCC AR4 Coupled GCMs: Ocean–Atmosphere Feedback Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the double?intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) problem in the coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report ...
Modeling Study on Reviving Abandoned Oil Reservoirs by In Situ Combustion Without CO2 Production While Recovering Both Oil and Heat
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A large number of oil wells have been or will be abandoned around the world. Yet, a very large amount of oil and energy is left behind inside the rocks in abandoned reservoirs because of technological and economic limitations. ...
Stratocumulus Clouds in Southeastern Pacific Simulated by Eight CMIP5–CFMIP Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the stratocumulus clouds and associated cloud feedback in the southeast Pacific (SEP) simulated by eight global climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) ...
Radiation Budget of the Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between precipitation and radiative heating on intraseasonal time scales in the Tropics using collocated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface radiative flux measurements from special ...
Zonal Momentum Budget of the Madden–Julian Oscillation: The Source and Strength of Equivalent Linear Damping
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Linear, dissipative models with resting base states are sometimes used in theoretical studies of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). Linear mechanical damping in such models ranges from nonexistent to strong, since an ...
What Are the Sources of Mechanical Damping in Matsuno–Gill-Type Models?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Matsuno?Gill model has been widely used to study the tropical large-scale circulations and atmosphere?ocean interactions. However, a common critique of this model is that it requires a strong equivalent linear mechanical ...
Experimental Investigation on Stub-Column Behavior of Cold-Formed High-Strength Steel Tubular Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of cold-formed high-strength steel tubular stub columns. In this paper, the nominal 0.2% proof stress of the high-strength steel was 700, 900, ...
Shifts in Activity Centers along the Corridor of the Blue Subway Line in Taipei
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Activity centers are areas of strong development of a particular activity, such as residence, employment, or recreation. Understanding shifts in activity centers can help in creating development strategies for subway ...
Experimental Investigation on Stub-Column Behavior of Cold-Formed High-Strength Steel Tubular Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of cold-formed high-strength steel tubular stub columns. In this paper, the nominal 0.2% proof stress of the high-strength steel was 700, 900, ...
Design of Cold-Formed High-Strength Steel Tubular Stub Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the numerical investigation of the compressive behavior of cold-formed high-strength steel (HSS) tubular stub columns. The nominal .2% proof stresses of the high-strength steel are 7, 9, and 1,1 MPa. ...
