Abstract: rofiles of potential density obtained from CTD measurements during the Hawaii Ocean Time series (HOT) program in the vicinity of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, are used to evaluate low-frequency variability of turbulent kinetic ...

Abstract: ynamics of small-scale (<10 km) superinertial internal waves (SSIWs) of intense vertical motion are investigated theoretically and numerically. It is shown that near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) have a pronounced influence ...

Abstract: Saturation flow rate (SFR) is a vital input for an intersection’s performance evaluation and development of signal control strategy. Several models have been framed under prevailing traffic conditions for homogeneous and ...

Abstract: For signalized intersections with mixed traffic conditions, pedestrians and bicyclists (P&amp;Bs) affect the vehicle saturation flow rate (SFR), which further influences the cycle length. However, existing studies always ...

Abstract: Since wind fluctuates with strong variation even within a short-term period, it is quite difficult to describe the characteristics of wind or to estimate the power output that will be injected into the grid. In particular, ...

Abstract: This paper attempts to establish unified topological models and corresponding mathematical representations for planar simple joint, multiple joint, and geared (cam) kinematic chains. First, the ...

Abstract: n this study, the energy exchange between mesoscale eddies and wind-forced near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) is theoretically analyzed using a slab mixed layer model modified by including the geostrophic flow. In the ...

Abstract: he near-inertial wind work and near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) in the ocean have been extensively studied using ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) forced by 6-hourly winds or wind stress obtained from atmospheric ...
