University Instruction in Observational Techniques: Survey Responses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 1987 survey of the atmospheric and oceanic science community on university instruction in instrumentation and observations revealed that an apparent imbalance existed between observational and theoretical/numerical ...
Bridge and Roadway Frost. Occurrence and Prediction by Use of an Expert System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A survey of the characteristics of frost occurrences on bridges and roadways derived from questionnaires completed by highway maintenance personnel and analysis of more than 4000 frost observations in Iowa reveal that ...
An Observational Study of Sea- and Land-Breeze Circulation in an Area of Complex Coastal Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal evolution of the three-dimensional structure of a mesoscale circulation system frequently occurring in the area of Kennedy Span Center-Cape Canaveral has been studied using the data from the Kennedy Space Center ...
The Effects of Large-Scale Winds on the Sea Land-Breeze Circulations in an Area of Complex Coastal Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional mesoscale numerical model has been used to examine the effects of large-scale background winds on the characteristics of the sea?land-breeze circulations over an area with an irregular coastline and ...
Numerical Simulations of Shelterbelt Effects on Wind Direction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A neutral boundary layer nonhydrostatic numerical model is used to determine the characteristics of shelterbelt effects on mean wind direction and to study the processing causing wind rotation when air passes through a ...
Bridge Frost Prediction by Heat and Mass Transfer Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frost on roadways and bridges can present hazardous conditions to motorists, particularly when it occurs in patches or on bridges when adjacent roadways are clear of frost. To minimize materials costs, vehicle corrosion, ...
The Relationships between Climatic and Hydrological Changes in the Upper Mississippi River Basin: A SWAT and Multi-GCM Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes in major climatic and hydrological quantities in the upper Mississippi River basin and their interrelationships are studied with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool being driven by the contemporary climate and future ...
Characteristics of 50–200-m Winds and Temperatures Derived from an Iowa Tall-Tower Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: imitations in skill of wind speed forecasts lead to conservative bids of wind-plant production in the day-ahead energy market and usually to an underutilization of wind resources. Improvements are needed in understanding ...
