Abstract: An approach to the estimation of cladding loads in hurricane-prone regions is presented which is both statistically rigorous and convenient for practical application. A computer program is described for carrying out such ...

Abstract: espite their potential influences on surface water and climate, groundwater processes are generally not represented in climate models. Here, a simple groundwater scheme including two-dimensional flow dynamics and accounting ...

Abstract: Système d?analyse fournissant des renseignements atmosphériques à la neige (SAFRAN) is a mesoscale atmospheric analysis system for surface variables. It produces an analysis at the hourly time step using ground data ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a comparison of two water transfer schemes implemented in land surface models: a three-layer bulk reservoir model based on the force?restore scheme (FR) and a multilayer soil diffusion scheme ...

Abstract: Metatarsal fractures represent the most common traumatic foot injury; however, metatarsal fracture thresholds remain poorly characterized, which affects performance targets for protective footwear. This experimental study ...

Abstract: A numerical model designed to simulate the evolution of a snow layer on a road surface was forced by meteorological forecasts so as to assess its potential for use within an operational suite for road management in winter. ...
