Wavelet Analysis of Coherent Structures at the Atmosphere-Forest Interface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wavelet analysis was applied to turbulence data for temperature and vertical velocity within and above a deciduous forest. This method appears to provide an objective technique for examining thermal and flow fields associated ...
Why Does Air Passage over Forest Yield More Rain? Examining the Coupling between Rainfall, Pressure, and Atmospheric Moisture Content
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he influence of forest loss on rainfall remains poorly understood. Addressing this challenge, Spracklen et al. recently presented a pantropical study of rainfall and land cover that showed that satellite-derived rainfall ...
Verification and Validation of SuperMC3.2 Using VENUS-3 Benchmark Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Methodological processes for nuclear power plant (NPP) pressure vessels' (PV) neutron fluence rate determination take the form of experimental measurement or theoretical calculations. However, the process of experimental ...
The Key Physical Parameters Governing Frictional Dissipation in a Precipitating Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation generates small-scale turbulent air flows?the energy of which ultimately dissipates to heat. The power of this process has previously been estimated to be around 2?4 W m?2 in the tropics: a value comparable ...
Comments on “Is Condensation-Induced Atmospheric Dynamics a New Theory of the Origin of the Winds?”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHere we respond to Jaramillo et al.?s recent critique of condensation-induced atmospheric dynamics (CIAD). We show that CIAD is consistent with Newton?s laws while Jaramillo et al.?s analysis is invalid. To address ...
Comments on “The Tropospheric Land–Sea Warming Contrast as the Driver of Tropical Sea Level Pressure Changes”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n their paper ?The tropospheric land?sea warming contrast as the driver of tropical sea level pressure changes,? Bayr and Dommenget proposed a simple model of temperature-driven air redistribution to quantify the ratio ...
Comments on “An Evaluation of Hurricane Superintensity in Axisymmetric Numerical Models”

Strain Rate and Stress-State Dependence of Gray Cast Iron
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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, ...
