Abstract: Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) profiles are an important component of the historical record of subsurface ocean temperature. To correct for time-varying biases in these data, adjustments to XBT depths and/or temperatures ...

Abstract: While much has been written about postdisaster housing reconstruction, few have explored the effects of certain types of building designs or materials in improving the quality of the housing stock, basic utilities, and ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a linear inverse analysis of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) air?sea flux climatology using 10 hydrographic ocean heat transport constraints distributed throughout the Atlantic and North ...

Abstract: The errors in pyrgeometer measurements of the atmospheric longwave flux at the sea surface due to differential heating of the sensor dome relative to the body and to shortwave leakage through the dome are evaluated. Contrary ...

Abstract: A multiple linear regression analysis of the ERA-40 dataset for the period 1979?2001 has been used to study the influence of the 11-yr solar cycle on atmospheric temperature and zonal winds. Volcanic, North Atlantic ...

Abstract: Utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS) in road construction optimizes the use of natural resources by saving on virgin binder and aggregate and, therefore, reducing the overall ...

Abstract: There are numerous design possibilities for vibration–suppression systems considering components from multiple domains (e.g., mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical). Traditional vibration absorber design approach ...

Abstract: An exact solution for transient Forchheimer flow to a well does not currently exist. However, this paper presents a set of approximate solutions, which can be used as a framework for verifying future numerical models that ...

Abstract: Recycled engine oil bottoms (REOB) are commonly used in asphalt cements to enhance their grade span and/or lower cost. REOB has been linked to premature road failures, resulting in bans and limits set on its use. This study ...

Abstract: The influence of surface thermohaline forcing on the variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) at mid?high latitudes is investigated using output from three Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
