THE OH NIGHTGLOW EMISSION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The several determinations of the relative vibrational transition probabilities for the OH vibration-rotation bands are examined. The discrepancies in the results may be attributed to their strong dependence on the observed ...
Impact of Design, Construction and Cost on Project Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Too frequent reports in the media of engineering and construction failures, the ruinous awards from lawsuits over liability and equally ruinous costs of liability insurance, if obtainable, all make an awareness of the ...
Closure to “<i>Impact of Design, Construction and Cost on Project Quality</i>” by Wallace L. Chadwick (April, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 2)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
A Nonclassical Cold Front Observed during COPS-91: Frontal Structure and the Process of Severe Storm Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This case study addresses the issue of gravity current and bore development at surface cold fronts, and the role of these phenomena in the generation of severe frontal convection. The event investigated occurred on 27 April ...
An Experimental Investigation of HCCI Combustion Stability Using n-Heptane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The combustion stability of a single-cylinder homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine operated with n-heptane was experimentally investigated over a range of engine speeds (N), intake ...
Spectra of Venus and Jupiter From 1300 to 3200 Å
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of two Aerobee rocket flights are reported. One obtained spectra of Venus from 3200 to 1900 Å at 16.5 Å resolution and the other spectra of Jupiter from 32M to 1800 Å at 28 Å resolution. The spectra of both ...
Comparisons of Horizontal Winds Measured by Opposing Beams with the Flatland ST Radar and between Flatland Measurements and NMC Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the consistency between VHF horizontal wind measurements and those interpolated from routine objective analyses. First, the agreement between the two U components and between the two V components measured ...
A Field Study of Reflectivity and Z–R Relations Using Vertically Pointing Radars and Disdrometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from a 16-month field study using two vertically pointing radars and a disdrometer at Wallops Island are analyzed to examine the consistency of the multi-instrument observations with respect to reflectivity ...
Fuel Property Effects on PCCI Combustion in a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study was performed to investigate fuel property effects on premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion in a heavy-duty diesel engine. A matrix of research diesel fuels ...
Profiler Contributions to Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Ground Validation Field Campaigns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Doppler radar profilers are widely used for routine measurement of wind, especially in the lower troposphere. The same profilers with minor modifications are useful tools for precipitation research. Specifically, the ...
