Abstract: To perform an elastic-plastic finite element analysis of a tubesheet, the anisotropic stiffness and yield properties of the perforated region are represented by an equivalent solid plate. Traditional ...

Abstract: This note focuses on a new method of analysis, suitable for use with data from satellite microwave spectrometers, that may benefit hydrometeorological analysis and prediction. The method being proposed involves application ...

Abstract: A description is given of the component parts of a computer system for automatically tracking clouds shown by sequences of pictures obtained by geostationary weather satellites. The component programs perform the following ...

Abstract: On 2 July 1987 a nonmesocyclone tornado was observed in northeastern Colorado during the Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE). This tornado, reaching FI?F2 intensity, developed under a rapidly growing ...

Abstract: An experiment comparing balloon and profiler observations was carried out to evaluate the capability of Doppler radar wind profilers to remotely measure useful meteorological quantities other than wind. The site chosen was ...

Abstract: The design, construction, and first results are presented of a 915-MHz Doppler wind profiler that may be mounted on a moving platform such as a mobile land vehicle, ocean buoy, or a ship. The long dwell times in multiple ...

Abstract: Winds measured with 915- and 404-MHz wind profilers are frequently found to have nonrandom errors as large as 15 m s?1 when compared to simultaneously measured rawinsonde winds. Detailed studies of these errors which occur ...

Abstract: A boundary layer field experiment in the Mexico City basin during the period 24 February?22 March 1997 is described. A total of six sites were instrumented. At four of the sites, 915-MHz radar wind profilers were deployed ...
