Abstract: s a conveyor belt transferring inland ice to ocean, ice shelves shed mass through large, systematic tabular calving, which also plays a major role in the fluctuation of the buttressing forces. Tabular iceberg calving ...

Abstract: n the first half of this research, this study examines the trend in tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the economically important northwest Western Australia (NWA) TC basin (equator?40°S, 80°?140°E) based on statistical ...

Abstract: It is shown that an optimal linear combination of independent forecasts of tropical cyclone tracks significantly reduces the mean forecast-position errors. In this study the independent forecasts are provided by a statistical ...

Abstract: AbstractFactors affecting aviation fuel efficiency are thermal and propulsive efficiencies, and overall drag on aircraft. An along-the-route integration is made for all direct flights in a baseline year, 2010, under current ...

Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the southeast Indian Ocean has been studied far less than other TC basins, such as the North Atlantic and northwest Pacific. The authors examine the interannual TC variability of the ...

Abstract: The Helmholtz-type equation arises in many areas of fluid dynamics, and, in recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the numerical procedures available for solving the equation. In this note, the various methods ...

Abstract: In this study, landslide potential is investigated, using a new constitutive relationship for granular flow in a numerical model. Unique to this study is an original relationship between soil moisture and the inertial ...

Abstract: Through the use of the dimensional splitting ?cascade? method of grid-to-grid interpolation, it is shown that consistently high-order-accurate semi-Lagrangian integration of a three-dimensional hydrostatic primitive equations ...

Abstract: ver the past century, particularly after the 1960s, observations of mean maximum temperatures reveal an increasing trend over the southeastern quadrant of the Australian continent. Correlation analysis of seasonally averaged ...

Abstract: The potential for predicting the skill of 36-h forecasts from the Australian region limited area model is investigated using three predictors of model forecast error (MFE) for mean sea level pressure. Two of the predictors ...
