RISBreaking Rossby Waves in a Model Stratosphere Diagnosed by a Vortex-Following Coordinate System and a Technique for Advecting Material Contours
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents results from a single-layer, shallow-water, 100-day model integration that reproduces many features of the wintertime stratosphere, particularly in the tropics, more realistically than earlier single-layer ...
Tropical Wave Driving of the Annual Cycle in Tropical Tropopause Temperatures. Part II: Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric response to a localized distribution of tropical heating is examined in terms of the stationary waves excited and how these impact the mean flow near the tropical tropopause. This is done by examining ...
Design and Measured Performance of a Solar Chimney for Natural Circulation Solar Energy Dryers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental solar chimney consisted of a cylindrical polyethylene-clad vertical chamber supported by steel framework and draped internally with a selectively absorbing surface. The performance ...
Variation of Insolation Transmission With Glazing Plane Position and Sky Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model to determine the instantaneous transmittance of glazing for specific direct and diffuse solar radiation conditions is developed. Plots illustrative of the generic behavior of the mean ...
Verified Accurate Performance Simulation Model of Direct Thermosyphon Solar Energy Water Heaters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A detailed analysis of the heat transfers and fluid flows within direct thermosyphonic solar energy water heaters has been undertaken. The collector energy equations were cast in a two-dimensional ...
