Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) is a 20-channel microwave satellite remote-sensing system comprising two separate radiometers, which is slated to be launched on NOAA polar-orbiting satellites beginning in 1994. ...

Abstract: Temporally consistent high-quality, high-resolution multisensor precipitation reanalysis (MPR) products are needed for a wide range of quantitative climatological and hydroclimatological applications. Therefore, the authors ...

Abstract: Geotechnical engineering preparation is essential for successful lunar exploration due to the distinct differences in the environment between the Earth and the Moon. In particular, the bearing capacity of the lunar surface ...

Abstract: The rocking behavior of a shallow foundation of a bridge pier has emerged as an effective mechanism for reducing the seismic load on the superstructure during a strong earthquake. However, a lack of understanding regarding ...

Abstract: his paper assesses the accuracy of satellite quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) from two versions of the Self-Calibrating Multivariate Precipitation Retrieval (SCaMPR) algorithm relative to that of gridded gauge-only ...

Abstract: his study investigates evolving methodologies for radar and merged gauge?radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) to determine their influence on the flow predictions of a distributed hydrologic model. These methods ...

Abstract: The Rapid Update Cycle (RUC), an operational regional analysis?forecast system among the suite of models at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), is distinctive in two primary aspects: its hourly ...
