Abstract: A series of uncertainty analysis methods was applied to investigate the propagation of parameter uncertainty within a coupled model system and to evaluate the effects of uncertainty on model outputs and decision-making ...

Abstract: For more than two decades, an HSPF-based watershed model has been used to simulate nutrient and sediment load delivery to the Chesapeake Bay. Over time, the watershed model has increased in complexity commensurate with the ...

Abstract: ffects of the sea surface temperature (SST) front along the East China Sea Kuroshio on sea surface winds at different time scales are investigated. In winter and spring, the climatological vector wind is strongest on the ...

Abstract: A meshless numerical model for nonlinear free surface water waves is presented in this paper. Using the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation as the radial basis functions and locating the source points outside the ...

Abstract: In winter, the warm water of the Gulf Stream anchors a salient precipitation band. Previous studies suggested a close relationship between the sea surface temperature (SST) front and the precipitation band through sea level ...

Abstract: The deformation and ultimate bearing capacity of a high arch dam are the key issues in the impoundment period of hydropower stations. In this paper, the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mode of the arch dam of the ...

Abstract: sharp sea surface temperature front develops between the warm water of the Gulf Stream and cold continental shelf water in boreal winter. This front has a substantial impact on the marine boundary layer. The present study ...

Abstract: San Francisco Bay and its watersheds are polluted by legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), resulting in the establishment of a total maximum daily load (TDML) that requires a 90% PCB load reduction from municipal ...
