RISDelayed Advective Oscillation of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple dynamic model is proposed to illustrate the multidecadal oscillation of the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation. The proposed oscillation relies on alternating actions of positive and negative feedbacks, which ...
Tropical Atlantic Decadal Oscillation and Its Potential Impact on the Equatorial Atmosphere–Ocean Dynamics: A Simple Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple coupled atmosphere?ocean models are used to study the potential influence of the tropical Atlantic Ocean decadal oscillation on the equatorial Atlantic atmosphere?ocean dynamics. Perturbing the model tropical Atlantic ...
Genetic Optimization for Seismic Retrofit of Soft-Story Woodframe Buildings Using FEMA P-807 Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent earthquakes around the world are reminders of the destructiveness of earthquakes and the effect they exact on lives and property. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake resulted in significant damage and fatalities in ...
Formulation of Seismic Fragilities for a Wood-Frame Building Based on Visually Determined Damage Indexes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study of earthquake engineering has made significant strides over the last one-half century with scientists developing methods to better understand the basis and mechanisms of earthquakes and engineers working to ...
Response of Freshwater Flux and Sea Surface Salinity to Variability of the Atlantic Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of freshwater flux and sea surface salinity (SSS) to the Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variations from seasonal to multidecadal time scales is investigated by using various reanalysis products and observations. All ...
The Heat Balance of the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermodynamic development of the Western Hemisphere warm pool and its four geographic subregions are analyzed. The subregional warm pools of the eastern North Pacific and equatorial Atlantic are best developed in the ...
Climate Response to Anomalously Large and Small Atlantic Warm Pools during the Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper uses the NCAR Community Atmospheric Model to show the influence of Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability on the summer climate and Atlantic hurricane activity. The model runs show that the climate response to the ...
A Simple Atmospheric Model of the Local and Teleconnection Responses to Tropical Heating Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A minimal complexity model of both the local and remote stationary responses of the atmosphere to tropical heating anomalies is described and demonstrated. Two levels are recast as baroclinic and barotropic components with ...
ABV Procedure Combined with Mechanistic Response Modeling for Roof- and Surge-Loss Estimation in Hurricanes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Populations in United States coastal regions have been steadily increasing over time. With this increased populous comes increased exposure to natural hazards, such as hurricanes, with the resulting coastal inundation and ...
Interhemispheric Influence of the Atlantic Warm Pool on the Southeastern Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic warm pool (AWP) is a large body of warm water comprising the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and western tropical North Atlantic. The AWP can vary on seasonal, interannual, and multidecadal time scales. The ...
