Abstract: n the boreal winter, the Arctic Oscillation (AO) evidently acts to influence surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies in China. This study reveals a large intraseasonal variation in the relationship between the winter AO ...

Abstract: nterdecadal variations in the relationship between the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and surface air temperature in China are investigated using observational and reanalysis data. Focus is on south-central China, ...

Abstract: Current postweld heat treatment (PWHT) methods rely mainly on static thermal sources or line heating using dispersed beams which require significant capital investment and often pose limits on weldment size. In the current ...

Abstract: Due to the adverse effect that distortion has on assembly fit-up and fabrication costs in welded structures, the ability to predict dimensional changes represents an important engineering concern. While distortion can be ...

Abstract: Maps of observed ground surface temperature (GST) in China generally contain inhomogeneities due to relocation of the observation site, changes in observation method, transition to automatic instruments, and so on. By using ...

Abstract: iddle and eastern routes of the South?North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) of China, which are approximately located within the area 28°?42°N and 110°?122°E, are being constructed. This paper investigates the past climatic ...
