Determination of Statistics for any Rotation of Axes of a Bivariate Normal Elliptical Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transformation of statistics from a dimensional set to another dimensional set involves linear functions of the original set of statistics. Similarly, linear functions will transform statistics within a dimensional set ...
The Summer Hydrography and Surface Circulation of the East Siberian Shelf Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the ice-free summer season in 1995 the authors deployed and subsequently tracked 39 surface drifters to test the hypothesis that the discharge from the Kolyma River forces a buoyancy-driven coastal current from the ...
A Low-Cost Digital XBT System and its Application to the Real-Time Computation of Dynamic Height
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An XBT interface is described for use with Commodore and other 6502 based microprocessors. This interface takes the form of a single circuit board mounted inside the microcomputer and is completely software controlled. The ...
Probability Distributions for Thunderstorm Activity at Cape Kennedy, Florida
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several statistical distribution functions are investigated as prospective models to represent the variation of thunderstorm activity at Cape Kennedy, Fla. Statistical methods are presented using the latest and most ...
Analytical Model and Numerical Analysis of the Elastic Behavior of Triaxial Braided Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is concerned with elastic behavior of a triaxial braided composite by using a three-dimensional analytical model and mesoscale finite-element (FE) analysis, in conjunction with experimental observations. The ...
Numerical Simulation of Topographically Forced Mesoscale Variability in a Well-Mixed Marine Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple nonlinear numerical model of a well-mixed marine layer is used to study topographically forced mesoscale variability off coastal California. The model is used to simulate a persistent wind maximum observed near ...
Experimental Investigation and Numerical Analysis of the In-Plane Tensile Behavior of a Triaxially Braided Composite with Subcell Modeling Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To improve the prediction of the response of braided composite structures, a subcell approach is under development. This method has shown successes in predicting the moduli of braided composites. To examine its capability ...
Geographic and Seasonal Distributions of Brunt–Väisälä Frequency and Rossby Radii in the North Pacific and North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term mean temperature and salinity profiles, computed from an edited set of historical hydrographic data, have been used to calculate mean profiles of density and Brunt?Väisäl seasonal variations in internal Rossby ...
Diversity in Environmental Engineering—Successes and Challenges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Model for In Situ Perchloroethene Dechlorination via Membrane-Delivered Hydrogen
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-dimensional contaminant fate and transport model was developed to simulate reductive dechlorination of perchloroethene (PCE) in an anaerobic aquifer supplied with hydrogen via a gas-permeable membrane curtain. The ...
