RISStreamline Geometry Optimization in Beam-Column Connection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The severe damage to beam-column steel connections in the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes generated concerns about the reliability of current steel structural design. Development of effective measures to strengthen the ...
Atmospheric Dynamic and Thermodynamic Processes Driving the Western North Pacific Anomalous Anticyclone during El Niño. Part I: Maintenance Mechanisms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe western North Pacific anomalous anticyclone (WNPAC) is an important low-level circulation system that connects El Niño and the East Asian monsoon. In this study, the mechanisms responsible for the formation and ...
Atmospheric Dynamic and Thermodynamic Processes Driving the Western North Pacific Anomalous Anticyclone during El Niño. Part II: Formation Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn Part I, the authors showed that northerly anomalies associated with the Rossby wave response to El Niño heating anomalies in the equatorial central Pacific lead to the southward advection of low moist enthalpy ...
How Well Do Atmospheric General Circulation Models Capture the Leading Modes of the Interannual Variability of the Asian–Australian Monsoon?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors evaluate the performances of 11 AGCMs that participated in the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project II (AMIP II) and that were run in an AGCM-alone way forced by historical sea surface temperature covering ...
Seasonally Evolving Dominant Interannual Variability Modes of East Asian Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A season-reliant empirical orthogonal function (S-EOF) analysis is applied to seasonal mean precipitation over East Asia for the period of 1979?2004. The first two dominant modes account for 44% of the total interannual ...
Contrast of Rainfall–SST Relationships in the Western North Pacific between the ENSO-Developing and ENSO-Decaying Summers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: While the overall summer rainfall?sea surface temperature (SST) relationship has a negative correlation over the western North Pacific (WNP), this relationship experiences a significant interannual variation. During the ...
Relative Contributions of the Indian Ocean and Local SST Anomalies to the Maintenance of the Western North Pacific Anomalous Anticyclone during the El Niño Decaying Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To investigate the relative role of the cold SST anomaly (SSTA) in the western North Pacific (WNP) or Indian Ocean basin mode (IOBM) in maintaining an anomalous anticyclone over the western North Pacific (WNPAC) during the ...
Asymmetry of Atmospheric Circulation Anomalies over the Western North Pacific between El Niño and La Niña
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The asymmetry of the western North Pacific (WNP) low-level atmospheric circulation anomalies between the El Niño and La Niña mature winter is examined. An anomalous WNP cyclone (WNPC) center during La Niña tends to shift ...
Two Distinct Modes of Tropical Indian Ocean Precipitation in Boreal Winter and Their Impacts on Equatorial Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he observational analysis reveals two distinct precipitation modes, the zonal dipole (DP) mode and the monopole (MP) mode, in the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) during the El Niño mature winter, even though sea surface ...
Impacts of the Pacific–Japan and Circumglobal Teleconnection Patterns on the Interdecadal Variability of the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ased on the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) dataset, the dominant modes of interdecadal variability of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) are investigated through a multivariate empirical orthogonal function analysis ...
