Microcomputers in Management of Construction Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fully implemented and active system of microcomputer support at the jobsite came into being from a long‐felt need on the owner's part to have better control over the status of shop‐drawing submittals, change orders, ...
The Impact of Parameterized Subgrid-Scale Orographic Forcing on Systematic Errors in a Global NWP Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global momentum budget for December 1993, diagnosed from a series of two-time-step integrations of the U.K. Meteorological Office global Unified Model, suggests that the parameterized mechanical dissipation in the model ...
Determining Fall Direction and Impact Location for Various Disturbances and Gait Speeds Using the Articulated Total Body Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Because fall experiments with volunteers can be both challenging and risky, especially with older volunteers, we wished to develop computer simulations of falls to provide a theoretical framework ...
The Atlanta Tornado of 1975
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Joint observations by radar and high-frequency sferics detectors at Georgia Institute of Technology provided unique data on the Atlanta tornado of 24 March 1975. The classic hook echo was detected by radar at a range of ...
BAROCLINIC WAVES OF THE POLAR-NIGHT VORTEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The behavior of the polar-night westerlies of the stratosphere is discussed, and their probable vertical extent is examined from rocket sounding evidence. It is shown that travelling wave-perturbations, typically of zonal ...
Interpolation of Tidal Levels in the Coastal Zone for the Creation of a Hydrographic Datum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the U.K. Hydrographic Office (UKHO)-sponsored Vertical Offshore Reference Frames (VORF) project, a high-resolution model of lowest astronomical tide (LAT) with respect to mean sea level has been developed for ...
Forecasting Capabilities for the London 2012 Olympics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sion of weather forecasts for the London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 offered the opportunity for the Met Office to accelerate the transition to operations of several advanced numerical modeling capabilities and ...
