Abstract: Monthly variability of atmosphere-ocean interactions in the midlatitude North Atlantic during the winter months (November?April) is examined. Composite and singular value decomposition (SVD) analyses are applied to the ...

Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged in recent years to become a widely recognized mass timber product for large-scale wood construction projects. The advantage of large CLT buildings has been recognized by investors ...

Abstract: The differences between early and middle winter atmospheric responses to the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in the northwest Atlantic are examined using a linear baroclinic model. Using a global spectral model, ...

Abstract: Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has been used extensively to achieve rapid construction, to reduce traffic congestion and environmental impacts, and to ensure reliable quality control. Precast columns are typically ...

Abstract: The cost of mass timber buildings is a major point of interest to building developers and architects because it often dictates the fate of proposed mass timber projects. Cost estimation for mass timber construction has ...

Abstract: The spatial distributions of northern North Atlantic sea surface temperature and the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere sea level pressure anomalies averaged over six consecutive warm SST winters (1951?1956) and six consecutive ...

Abstract: Previous GCM experiments demonstrated that a model atmosphere produces two different responses to a midlatitude warm SST anomaly over the Pacific under perpetual January and February conditions. To elucidate the mechanisms ...

Abstract: The January and February responses of a GCM to an imposed extratropical Pacific SST anomaly are compared with the patterns of the model's internal variability. Relevant patterns of internal variability are diagnosed from ...

Abstract: The response of an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) to the North Atlantic SST tripole exhibits both symmetric and asymmetric components with respect to the sign of the SST anomaly. The symmetric part of the ...
