Abstract: AbstractIdealized modeling studies have shown that the melting of ice shelves varies as a quadratic function of ocean temperature. However, this result is the equilibrium response, derived from steady ice?ocean simulations ...

Abstract: Any major project has an enormous economic, social, and community impact on the area in which it is implemented. These impacts can be exacerbated by delays, and can be negative if not addressed before, during, and after ...

Abstract: In order to examine quantitatively the evidence for an index cycle, 21 years of daily 700-mb. zonal index data for the western longitudes of the Northern Hemisphere were subjected to cross-spectral analyses. The annual ...

Abstract: Principal components or empirical orthogonal functions are virtually the sole statistical tool used to date for investigations of space-time variability of meteorological elements. Maximum statistical efficiency and possible ...

Abstract: The primary concern of this paper is an examination of the utility of spectral techniques in detecting wave modes of the large-scale tropospheric circulation. Sample time- and space-spectra of meridional winds in middle ...

Abstract: Since the founding of ASCE in 1852, remarkable changes have occurred in all areas of civil engineering practice, including surveying and mapping. Instruments employed in surveying and mapping in the United States have ...

Abstract: This paper develops a general introduction into the concepts of a flexible irrigation water supply in rate, frequency, and duration together with the benefits to the farmer for doing so. A flexible water supply allows the ...

Abstract: Anomalously high stratospheric temperatures were measured by rocket sounding techniques over McMurdo, Antarctica, in midwinter 1963. Because of the importance of these observations in determining whether the Southern ...

Abstract: n expansion of the volume velocity processing (VVP) single-Doppler radar analysis method is presented for use with hurricanes. The so-called hurricane VVP (HVVP) method connects the estimated coefficients of a second-order ...
