Abstract: aunched on 27 February 2014, the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission comprises an international constellation of satellites to provide the next generation of global observations of precipitation. Built upon the ...

Abstract: A month-long field program to study the springtime katabatic wind confluence zone (where katabatic winds converge) has been carried out near Siple Coast, West Antarctica. Based on previous observations and numerical studies, ...

Abstract: The blocking effect of Ross Island and Hut Point peninsula, Antarctica, has been investigated since the early part of this century. Due to lack of continuous measurements of boundary-layer winds, the investigations were ...

Abstract: The surface wind pattern over the ice sheets of Antarctica is irregular with marked areas of airflow confluence near the coastal margins. Where cold air from a large interior area of the ice sheet converges (a confluence ...

Abstract: Mechanical clinching method has been shown to be a feasible alternative to self piercing riveting (SPR) for joining dissimilar materials, particularly for vehicle assemblies made in aluminumtosteel. While a great deal of ...

Abstract: Because of the randomness associated with sampling from a population of raindrops, variations in the data reflect some undetermined mixture of sampling variability and inhomogeneity in the precipitation. Better understanding ...

Abstract: ct available.

Abstract: Design sensitivity analysis of natural frequency for geared shaft systems is of practical importance in the optimal design of these systems. This note provides a simple and easily implemented ...

Abstract: tion is a critical component of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Launched on 27 November 1997, TRMM is a joint U.S.?Japan satellite mission to provide the first detailed and comprehensive dataset of the four-dimensional ...

Abstract: This research aims to evaluate the tribological performance of chromium molybdenum (CrMo) coatings under point and line-contact mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication. This article studies the coatings made from two different ...
