Evaluation of Eight Current Reanalyses in Simulating Land Surface Temperature from 1979 to 2003 in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLand surface temperature Ts provides essential supplementary information to surface air temperature, the most widely used metric in global warming studies. A lack of reliable observational Ts data makes assessing ...
Sloshing Effects under Longitudinal Excitation in Horizontal Elliptical Cylindrical Containers with Complex Baffles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Assuming that an ideal liquid has irrotational, incompressible, and inviscid flows, a mathematical model is presented to efficiently and simply study liquid sloshing problems under longitudinal excitation in horizontal ...
A Quasi-Three-Dimensional Variably Saturated Groundwater Flow Model for Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, a quasi-three-dimensional, variably saturated groundwater flow model was developed by approximately dividing the three-dimensional soil water and groundwater flow into an unsaturated vertical soil water flow ...
The Kinematics of Containment for N-Dimensional Ellipsoids
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowing the set of allowable motions of a convex body moving inside a slightly larger one is useful in applications such as automated assembly mechanisms, robot motion planning, etc. The theory behind this is called the ...
Measurement Methods Affect the Observed Global Dimming and Brightening
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface incident solar radiation G determines our climate and environment, and has been widely observed with a single pyranometer since the late 1950s. Such observations have suggested a widespread decrease between the 1950s ...
Characterization of Carbon Dioxide Hydrate Growth Kinetics in Carbon Micron Tube Oil–Water System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes have a significant impact on hydrate formation. However, the effect and mechanism of carbon micrometer tubes, which have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes, on the promotion of hydrate growth is not ...
