RISEliassen-Palm Flux and Eddy Potential Vorticity Flux for a Nonquasigeostrophic Time-Mean Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eliassen?Palm theory is formulated for a time-mean flow in an isopycnic coordinate system. An expression is derived for the Eliassen-Palm flux E in this context. In isopycnic coordinates it is natural to approximate the ...
Validation of ERBS Scanner Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The earth radiation budget satellite (ERBS) has made broadband scanner measurements of the earth radiance for over 5 years. The redundancy between the shortwave, longwave, and total scanning radiometers and data averages ...
Improving Satellite-Based Convective Cloud Growth Monitoring with Visible Optical Depth Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he use of geostationary satellites for monitoring the development of deep convective clouds has been recently well documented. One such approach, the University of Wisconsin Cloud-Top Cooling Rate (CTC) algorithm, utilizes ...
Limb-darkening Models from Along-Track Operation of the ERBE Scanning Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During January and August 1985, the scanning radiometers of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (F-RBE) aboard the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and the NOAA-9 satellite were operated in along- track scanning ...
Fish Catch Is Related to the Fluctuations of a Western Boundary Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn eastern boundary upwelling ecosystems, substantial variance of biological productivity (~50%) can often be related to physical forcing such as winds and ocean temperatures. Robust biophysical connections are ...
Uniform Gradient Element Formulation with Hourglass Control Scheme for Solving Fully Coupled Finite-Element Equations for Saturated Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A uniform gradient (UG) element formulation for a four-node quadrilateral element is derived and implemented for solving the fully coupled governing equations for the dynamics of a saturated porous medium. An hourglass ...
A Satellite-Based Convective Cloud Object Tracking and Multipurpose Data Fusion Tool with Application to Developing Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tudying deep convective clouds requires the use of available observation platforms with high temporal and spatial resolution, as well as other non?remote sensing meteorological data (i.e., numerical weather prediction model ...
An Intercomparison of UW Cloud-Top Cooling Rates with WSR-88D Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he University of Wisconsin Convective Initiation (UWCI) algorithm utilizes geostationary IR satellite data to compute cloud-top cooling (UW-CTC) rates and assign CI nowcasts to vertically growing clouds. This study is ...
Thermofluidic Characteristics of a Porous Ventilated Brake Disk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We introduce a new class of ventilated brake disk which incorporates an open cellular core: wirewoven bulk diamond (WBD). Transient and steadystate thermofluidic characteristics are presented. As reference, a commercially ...
