RISEmerging Role of Management in Civil Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper was given by Dr. Louis Berger as his acceptance speech for the Parcel-Sverdrup Civil Engineering Management Award. The award was presented to Dr. Berger at the ASCE Engineering Management luncheon held in San Diego on October 24, 1995...
ON FORECASTING CEILING LOWERING DURING CONTINUOUS RAIN
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During steady rain, the ceiling lowers in a discontinuous fashion. The ceiling heights may be predicted with sufficient accuracy by using a set of empirically determined rules. To obtain a relation for the time of occurrence ...
The Fall-Off with Height of Terrain-Induced Vertical Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the vertical motion due to flow over irregular terrain may be calculated from a simple formula in an atmosphere whose static stability is a function of pressure only. Some computations are presented to ...
A Heuristic Investigation to Evaluate the Feasibility of Developing a Desert Dust Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A boundary layer model, to investigate various aspects of desert circulation, has been devised. The planetary boundary layer is divided into a surface (constant flux) layer, a transition layer and an inversion layer. The ...
