On Adding Thermodynamic Damping Mechanisms to Refine Two Classical Models of Katabatic Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Prandtl and layer-averaged models of katabatic winds contain some nonphysical singularities in the analytical solutions, which give unbounded steady flow anomalies at zero slope angles or adiabatic lapse rates. This ...
Control Parameters for the Ramp and Speed-Change Lane of Urban Expressways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban expressways can be built with various patterns, resulting in complex traffic conversions. In practice, implementing identical design control parameters under different patterns or traffic conditions is unreasonable, ...
A Study of the NOAA Near-Nadir AMSU-A Brightness Temperatures over Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily mean brightness temperatures over Antarctica derived from measurements by three Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) radiometers on board NOAA-18, NOAA-19, and MetOp-A satellites are studied. To demonstrate ...
Efficient Algorithms for Maximum Covariance Analysis of Datasets with Many Variables and Fewer Realizations: A Revisit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fast and reliable algorithms for maximum covariance analysis (MCA) are investigated. The traditional algorithm based on the direct singular value decomposition (SVD) of a covariance matrix is computationally expensive for ...

Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Global Atmosphere. Part II: Southern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part II of this two-part article, we complete the systematic examination of oscillatory modes in the global atmosphere by studying 12 years of 500 mb geopotential heights in the Southern Hemisphere. As in Part I, for ...
Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Global Atmosphere. Part I: Northern Hemisphere and Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have examined systematically oscillatory modes in the Northern Hemisphere and in the tropics. The 700 mb heights were used to analyze extratropical oscillations, and the outgoing longwave radiation to study tropical ...

Environmental Load Effect Analysis of Guyed Towers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A general method for dynamic load effect analysis of slender offshore structures subjected to short crested random waves, current and wind, is given. The structure is represented by a ...
