Abstract: Recent experimental results indicate that little or no solid ammonium sulfate is present in background stratospheric aerosols. Other results allow straightforward calculation of sulfuric acid/water droplet properties ...

Abstract: The slant-path (or zenith-angle scanning) lidar technique is used to measure boundary-layer optical depths for ten different times during a single day. For the range of optical depths encountered (0.03?0.14 at 0.69 ?m ...

Abstract: In recent years, there have been an increasing number of watersheds that relied on weather radars to provide accurate precipitation information for flood warning purposes. The major impetus for using a radar-based flood ...

Abstract: In order to address questions relating to the cause of local flooding in many downstream watersheds in Houston, TX, a computer model has been developed that handles both a surcharged pipeflow condition and a variable ...

Abstract: In recent years, there have been an increasing number of watersheds that relied on weather radars to provide accurate precipitation information for flood warning purposes. The major impetus for using a radar-based flood ...

Abstract: Buffalo Bayou, a major stream in Houston, Texas, was the subject of a detailed water quality study. The stream is heavily stressed by domestic waste loads and has shown significant degradation in water quality since 1970. ...

Abstract: Flood forecasting requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal rainfall rates over a catchment. Depending on the Z?R relationship and threshold values, processing of WSR-88D reflectivity data affects the rainfall ...
