RISCompensating for Environmental Variability in the Thermal Inertia Approach to Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is developed for removing data scatter in the thermal inertia approach to remote sensing of soil moisture that arises from environmental variability in time and space. It entails the utilization of nearby ...
Determining Emittances for Use in Infrared Thermometry: A Simple Technique for Expanding the Utility of Existing Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple laboratory technique is described for making rapid emittance measurements with an infrared thermometer. It is shown that when the infrared thermometer head is held flush against a surface, its output is a linear ...
Analysis of Loss of Heat Sink for ITER Divertor Cooling System Using Modified RELAP/SCDAPSIM/MOD 4.0
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work includes thermal hydraulic modeling and analysis of loss of heat sink (LOHS) accident for the ITER divertor cooling system. The analysis is done for the new design of full tungsten divertor. The new design ...
Build Up and Characterization of Ultraslow Nuclear Burn-Up Wave in Epithermal Neutron Multiplying Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study is carried out on the build-up and characterization of ultraslow nuclear burn-up wave in epithermal neutron multiplying medium for slab geometry. Uranium-plutonium fissile medium is considered for the calculation. ...
Biogeography of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests. Part II: Mapping of Orographic Cloud Immersion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study details two unique methods to quantify cloud-immersion statistics for tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs). The first technique uses a new algorithm for determining cloud-base height using Moderate Resolution ...
