RISTransient Response of an Atmospheric GCM to North Atlantic SST Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) is used to evaluate the atmospheric response to North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. The transient evolution of the response is studied in ...
Integrated Water Vapor Field and Multiscale Variations over China from GPS Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor plays a key role in the global hydrologic cycle and in climatic change. However, the distribution and variability of water vapor in the troposphere are not understood well?in particular, in China with the complex ...
Factor of Safety of Three-Dimensional Stepped Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stepped slopes have been widely used in slope and excavation engineering to improve slope stability. On the basis of the three-dimensional (3D) horn failure mechanism, this article proposes a new method to estimate the ...
Comparison of Factors of Safety Using a 3D Failure Mechanism with Kinematic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In slope stability analysis, there are two commonly used methods for calculating the factors of safety (FS). The first is the strength reduction method (SRM), which defines the FS as the ratio of the real material shear ...
Dynamic Analysis of a Geared Infinitely Variable Transmission
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic analysis of a geared infinitely variable transmission (IVT) that can generate a continuous output-to-input speed ratio from zero to a certain value is studied for vehicle and wind turbine applications. With the IVT ...
Sensitivity of the LMD General Circulation Model to Greenhouse Forcing Associated with Two Different Cloud Water Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric general circulation model of the Laboratoire de Météorologic Dynamique is coupled to a slab ocean model and is used to investigate the climatic impact of a C02 doubling. Two versions of the model are used ...
Mechanism of Crack Initiation and Propagation of Re-Entrant Auxetic Honeycombs Under Thermal Shock
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal shock multiple cracking behaviors of re-entrant auxetic honeycombs with a negative Poisson’s ratio are investigated, and the crack initiation and propagation behavior are discussed. An effective macro continuum ...

Experimental Study on a Medium Consistency Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental testing rig is built to study the performance of a centrifugal pump used in medium consistency technology (MC technology). Pump performances are tested in different pulp concentration, degas pressure ...
Inference of Cloud Optical Depth from Aircraft-Based Solar Radiometric Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is introduced for inferring cloud optical depth τ from solar radiometric measurements made on an aircraft at altitude z. It is assessed using simulated radiometric measurements produced by a 3D Monte Carlo algorithm ...
