RISInitial Study on Controllable Roofing System to Tailor Building Solar Loads for Increased HVAC Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Space heating and cooling account for a significant percentage of a building's overall energy usage profile. The construction of a building's envelope is an essential component that impacts the overall heating and cooling ...
Developing an Operational, Surface-Based, GPS, Water Vapor Observing System for NOAA: Network Design and Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The need for a reliable, low-cost observing system to measure water vapor in the atmosphere is incontrovertible. Experiments have shown the potential for using Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to measure total ...
Automatic Cloud Tracking Applied to GOES and METEOSAT Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Improvements to the SRI automatic cloud-tracking system are described that enable it to operate on multilayer clouds associated with severe storms. The improved method has been tested using rapid-scan observations of ...
Atmospheric Soundings in Near-Real Time from Combined Satellite and Ground-Based Remotely Sensed Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mobile profiling system has been developed that is capable of probing the atmosphere from the surface to over 30 km. The Mobile Profiling System (MPS) combines ground-based instruments, including a five-beam 924-MHz radar ...
The Effect of Building Shadows on the Vertical Temperature Structure of the Lower Atmosphere in Downtown Denver
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Denver's Continuous Air Monitoring Program (CAMP) site, typically recording the highest carbon monoxide levels in the metropolitan area; lies within a large region of downtown Denver shadowed by tall buildings. Two studies ...
Boulder Atmospheric Observatory: 1977–2016: The End of an Era and Lessons Learned
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Measurement of Humidity Profiles in the Atmosphere by the Global Positioning System and Radar Wind Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bragg backscatter of radar waves from elevated turbulent layers is very highly correlated with the height profile of the gradient of radio refractive index through elevated turbulent layers, as has often been documented ...
Active Phase Change Material Cold Storage in Off-Grid Telecommunication Base Stations: Potential Assessment of Primary Energy Savings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The global demand for wireless, mobile communication, and data services has grown significantly in the recent years. Consequently, electrical energy consumption to provide these services has increased. The principal ...
Surface Flux Observations on the Southeastern Tropical Pacific Ocean and Attribution of SST Errors in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new dataset synthesizes in situ and remote sensing observations from research ships deployed to the southeastern tropical Pacific stratocumulus region for 7 years in boreal fall. Surface meteorology, turbulent and radiative ...
Oceanic Wind and Balanced Pressure-Height Fields Derived from Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasat-A scatterometer system (SASS) measurements of wind speed and direction and GOES-2 satellite measurements of cloud motion directions were used to analyze the surface wind field over part of the northern Pacific Ocean ...
