Abstract: Atmospheric science information is a component of numerous public policy decisions. Moreover, many resources for atmospheric science are allocated by governments, in other words, through public policy decisions. Thus, all ...

Abstract: The inhomogeneous snow distribution found in alpine terrain is the result of wind and precipitation interacting with the snow surface. During major snowfall events, preferential deposition of snow and transport of previously ...

Abstract: To complement other flood mitigation measures, hydrometeorological predictions are often used in decisions leading up to and during floods. Understanding the role played by predictions in flood events can help forecasters ...

Abstract: An unusual series of radar photographs was encountered in a major rainstorm in Venezuela in 1972. An elongated hole in the S-band radar presentation worked its way from the echo edge toward the center, then became an island ...

Abstract: Construction workforces’ health behaviors have received little attention compared with work injury risks and management. Formulated caffeinated beverage (FCB) (energy drink) consumption is relatively new to construction ...

Abstract: An experiment was performed to examine the utility of a pile fence in reducing dune erosion and overwash during a storm. Six tests consisting of 58 runs of 400 s each were conducted to compare the effectiveness of six ...

Abstract: Part I has shown that a simple assimilation scheme can have a significant effect on the physics of the model. Part II concentrates on the effects of nudging assimilation in a full primitive equation model, the Free Surface ...

Abstract: Idealized numerical simulations of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over a range of instabilities and shears were conducted to examine low-frequency gravity waves generated during initial and mature stages of convection. ...
