RISAnalysis and Design of Two Stretched-Membrane Parabolic Dish Concentrators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The state-of-the-art of parabolic dish solar concentrators is the faceted, glass-metal dish. The mass production costs of glass-metal dishes may be high because they do not incorporate the ...

Abstract: To the Members of ASME:
Barrier Winds Along the Sierra Nevada Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observational evidence from instrumented aircraft, Doppler radar and rawinsondes suggest low-level, mountain-parallel jets are a common wintertime feature along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Range and extending ...
On the Role of Antarctic Katabatic Winds in Forcing Large-Scale Tropospheric Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Katabatic winds are a dominant feature of the lower atmosphere over Antarctica. The radial diffluence displayed by the drainage flows implies that a continental-scale subsidence is present over Antarctica. From mass ...
Vertical Profiling of Velocity Microstructure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A free-fall oceanographic instrument capable of producing direct estimates of the local rate of energy dissipation has been developed. The velocity sensor in an adaptation of the two-component airfoil probe to the oceanic ...
Some Spatial Characteristics of Drought Duration in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) as calculated from state averages of temperature and precipitation and from numerous single station analyses, it has been demonstrated that droughts (as defined by the PDSI) ...
