Abstract: An algorithm for the exact determination of potentials for the divergent and rotational wind components is presented and illustrated. The algorithm is based on the discrete Fourier transform of consistent difference ...

Abstract: An objective procedure for determining optimum radar positions in a multiple-Doppler radar network is given for the objective criteria of maximizing the integrated reliability. It is demonstrated for arrays of three to ...

Abstract: The present study, through finite element simulations, shows the geometric effects of a bioinspired solid on pressure and impulse mitigation for an elastic, plastic, and viscoelastic material. Because of the bioinspired ...

Abstract: The advantages of three or more radars is illustrated in terms of extended areal coverage, error variance reduction and mitigation of poor sampling effects of divergence fields near the ground. Errors in the horizontal and ...

Abstract: An investigation of the mechanical strain rate, inelastic behavior, and microstructural evolution under deformation for an as-cast pearlitic gray cast iron (GCI) is presented. A complex network of graphite, pearlite, ...

Abstract: Sixteen tornadic storms occurred in the afternoon and evening hours of 20 May 1977 and the early morning hours of 21 May 1977. Three storms, two of them tornadic, have been selected for detailed study. One of the tornadic ...

Abstract: The findings of the Multiple Doppler Radar Workshop are summarized by a series of six papers. Part I of this series briefly reviews the history of multiple Doppler experimentation, fundamental concepts of Doppler signal ...

Abstract: Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic, contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very sensitive to small perturbations of the ...
