Analysis of a Bow Free Prestressed Test Specimen
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Broadening the temperature range in accelerated testing of electronic products is a typical measure to assure that the product of interest is sufficiently robust. At the same time, a too broad temperature range can lead ...
Reduction of the Sound Pressure Radiated by a Submarine by Isolation of the End Caps
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A passive isolation approach to reduce the sound pressure radiated by a submarine is presented. The submerged vessel is modeled as a stiffened cylindrical hull partitioned by bulkheads and with ...
Flow, Moisture, and Thermodynamic Variability Associated with Gulf of California Surges within the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses an improved surge identification method to examine composites of 29 yr of surface observations and reanalysis data alongside 10 yr of satellite precipitation data to reveal connections between flow, thermodynamic ...
The Effect of Phase-Correlated Returns and Spatial Smoothing on the Accuracy of Radar Refractivity Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar refractivity retrievals have the potential to accurately capture near-surface humidity fields from the phase change of ground clutter returns. In practice, phase changes are very noisy and the required smoothing will ...
A Time-Series Method to Identify and Correct Range Sidelobes in Meteorological Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he use of pulse compression techniques to improve the sensitivity of meteorological radars has become increasingly common in recent years. An unavoidable side effect of such techniques is the formation of ?range sidelobes,? ...
Quantifying Errors due to Frequency Changes and Target Location Uncertainty for Radar Refractivity Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar refractivity retrievals can capture near-surface humidity changes, but noisy phase changes of the ground clutter returns limit the accuracy for both klystron- and magnetron-based systems. Observations with a C-band ...
WIVERN: A New Satellite Concept to Provide Global In-Cloud Winds, Precipitation, and Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a conically scanning spaceborne Dopplerized 94-GHz radar Earth science mission concept: Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope (WIVERN). WIVERN aims to provide global measurements of in-cloud winds using ...
Cloud Banding and Winds in Intense European Cyclones: Results from the DIAMET Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Diabatic Influences on Mesoscale Structures in Extratropical Storms (DIAMET) project aims to improve forecasts of high-impact weather in extratropical cyclones through field measurements, high-resolution numerical ...
