RISCase Study of a Marine Filter Curtain System for Coliform Reduction at a Public Beach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A floating marine filter curtain system (boom) was placed around a tidal beach on Long Island Sound to reduce coliform levels following storm events. Coliform data were collected inside and outside the boom over a three-year ...

Omission of Critical Reynolds Number for Open Channel Flows in Many Textbooks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During the analysis of an open channel flow experiment, students were asked to determine whether the flow was laminar or turbulent. The array of answers highlighted the different information carried in fluid mechanics ...

Reevaluating the Role of the Saharan Air Layer in Atlantic Tropical Cyclogenesis and Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of the Saharan air layer (SAL), a layer of warm, dry, dusty air frequently present over the tropical Atlantic Ocean, has long been appreciated. The nature of its impacts on hurricanes remains unclear, with ...
High-Resolution Simulation of Hurricane Bonnie (1998). Part II: Water Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU?NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) is used to simulate Hurricane Bonnie at high resolution (2-km spacing) in order to examine budgets ...

California's 1995 Water Bank Program: Purchasing Water Supply Options
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In anticipation of a second consecutive critically dry year, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) organized the 1995 Drought Water Bank Program. For the first time, DWR purchased water supply options from ...
Ocean Boundary Mixing during Ekman Layer Arrest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a water parcel comes into contact with an ocean boundary, energy is dissipated within the boundary layer with some fraction directed into vertical mixing. In a stratified flow this increases the potential energy associated ...
