Abstract: This paper summarizes recent studies of a variety of atmospheric phenomena in different parts of the world using the Penn State/NCAR mesoscale model. These phenomena include explosive cyclogenesis over the North Pacific ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experiments to evaluate the potential for using a resin-in-pulp process to remove lead contamination from soil. These experiments examined the kinetics and equilibrium partitioning of ...

Abstract: In conjunction with Douglas C. Moorhouse in 1994, the author prepared a paper on examining the causes of "failure" in the geo-civil/environmental professional services industry. Based on this research that reviewed 53 case ...

Abstract: This article provides a methodology to develop benchmarks and examine best practices within the United States' design and construction industry. The study data and conclusions are based largely upon the insights gained in ...

Abstract: The Federal Government increasingly imposes user fees to raise funds. This paper contends the trend is being exploited by railroad lobbyists to impair competing transportation modes. This paper exposes these tactics and ...

Abstract: The effect of a uniform geostrophic current on barotropic inertia-gravity waves in a shallow-water channel model is studied. Numerically obtained normal modes are compared with analytical results for Kelvin, Poincar and ...

Abstract: It is hypothesized that planting bands of vegetation with widths of the order of 50?100 km in semiarid regions could, under favorable large-scale atmospheric conditions, result in increases of convective precipitation. ...

Abstract: Terms in the vorticity equation are approximated numerically for each of a act of grid points, map times and pressure levels in the lower stratosphere during January-February 1957. The hypothesis is advanced that the ...

Abstract: The following finite difference schemes are employed in an alternating direction-implicit format to approximate the linear form of the two-dimensional constituent transport equation: (1) Forward time centered space (FTCS); ...
