RISCyclonic Spirals in Tidally Accelerating Bottom Boundary Layers in the Zhujiang (Pearl River) Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: velocity spiral in the tidally accelerating bottom boundary layer (BBL) was defined as a directional shear of the prevailing flow with the elevation and the tidal phase. However, so far there is no information on the spiral ...
Design of a Lightweight Single-Actuator Multi-Grasp Prosthetic Hand With Force Magnification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Restoring human grasp functions by prosthesis is a long-standing challenge in robotics research. Aiming at prosthetic applications, this paper presents a novel anthropomorphic multi-grasp hand design. The hand is driven ...
Wind Load Similarity Relations for Parabolic Trough Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Large-scale parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) are generally installed in flat, open areas. Their specific costs ($/m2) are dependent on wind load-based structural design factors. To help estimate these wind loads, validated ...
A CloudSat Perspective on the Cloud Climatology and Its Association with Aerosol Perturbations in the Vertical over Eastern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any efforts have been taken to investigate aerosol?cloud interactions from space, but only a few studies have examined the response of vertical cloud structure to aerosol perturbations. Three-dimensional cloud climatologies ...
On the Summertime Planetary Boundary Layer with Different Thermodynamic Stability in China: A Radiosonde Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStrongly influenced by thermodynamic stability, the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is key to the exchange of heat, momentum, and moisture between the ground surface and free troposphere. The PBL with different ...
