Abstract: There is an urgent need for increasing the capacity for business recovery in communities throughout the world. This goal is a major challenge for the 21st century and requires that we find innovative ways for creating ...

Abstract: An investigation of a cloud-topped boundary layer during a wintertime cold air outbreak over Lake Michigan has been conducted based on research aircraft 1 and 20 Hz data for five vertically-stacked levels within the boundary ...

Abstract: Finite-amplitude dynamics of a slightly dissipative baroclinic wave in a two-layer, ?-plane channel model at the point of minimum critical shear are examined. At this point, both the potential vorticity gradient and the ...

Abstract: The two-layer quasigeostrophic model of Holland is modified to include a parameterization of subgrid-scale heat diffusion. Results from a sequence of simple, eddy-resolved calculations illustrate the effects of increasing ...

Abstract: The initial stages of the formation of precipitation in uniform updrafts under natural and seeded conditions are examined using a detailed microphysical model of parcel ascent. The effects of seeding are related to the ...

Abstract: A high resolution, multilevel, primitive equation (PE) model is used to investigate the generation and stability of the Leeuwin Current and eddies off the west coast of Australia. Two numerical experiments are conducted ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the results of a 1994–95 survey of 146 state departments of transportation mid-level managers from 26 states regarding their perceptions of the progress and problems associated with TQM implementation ...

Abstract: The Leeuwin Current strengthens considerably from February to May each year, following the slackening of southerly coastal winds; strong eddies develop. A high-resolution, multilevel, primitive equation ocean model is used ...

Abstract: We developed and validated a fully articulated model of the thoracolumbar spine in opensim that includes the individual vertebrae, ribs, and sternum. To ensure trunk muscles in the model accurately represent muscles in ...

Abstract: A high-resolution, multilevel, primitive equation model is initialized with climatological data to investigate the combined effects of wind and thermal forcing on the ocean circulation off Western Australia during the ...
