The Early Winter Sea Ice Variability under the Recent Arctic Climate Shift
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study reveals that sea ice in the Barents and Kara Seas plays a crucial role in establishing a new Arctic coupled climate system. The early winter sea ice before 1998 shows double dipole patterns over the Arctic ...
Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Investigating the Impact of Water Demand Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes an agent-based modeling approach to assess water users’ behavior for water demand management (WDM) in a river basin. In this procedure, each agent controls its own strategy regarding whether to conserve ...
Mesoscale Surface Analysis System for the Australian Domain: Design Issues, Development Status, and System Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n operational surface analysis system for the continent of Australia is presented. The system is specifically designed to mitigate problems that arise when analyzing surface data with a highly inhomogeneous distribution. ...
Model Predictive Control of a Fuel Injection System with a Radial Basis Function Network Observer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a new Model Predictive Control scheme incorporating a Radial Basis Function Network Observer for the fuel injection problem. Two new contributions are presented here. First ...
Decadal Changes of Wind Stress over the Southern Ocean Associated with Antarctic Ozone Depletion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data and in situ observations, the positive trend of Southern Ocean surface wind stress during two recent decades is detected, and its close linkage with spring Antarctic ozone depletion ...
Connecting Microstructures for Multiscale Topology Optimization With Connectivity Index Constraints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the rapid developments of advanced manufacturing and its ability to manufacture microscale features, architected materials are receiving ever increasing attention in many physics fields. Such a design problem can be ...
Revised Parameterization of Air–Sea Exchanges in High Winds for Operational Numerical Prediction: Impact on Tropical Cyclone Track, Intensity, and Rapid Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n high-wind conditions, sea spray, in conjunction with a generally decreasing drag coefficient for increasing winds, greatly modulates surface heat and momentum fluxes. It has been suggested that the process can be ...
Assessment of Doppler Radar Radial Wind Observation Quality from Different Echo Sources for Assimilation during the Sydney 2014 Forecast Demonstration Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA new quality control system, primarily using a naïve Bayesian classifier, has been developed to enable the assimilation of radial velocity observations from Doppler radar. The ultimate assessment of this system ...
Determining Anchor Span Strand Tensions in the Completed State of a Suspension Bridge: An Analytical Algorithm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Integral components of suspension bridges are anchor spans, consisting of separate strands splayed from the main cable between the splay saddle and the front anchor plane. The main cable is separated into several strands ...
Determining Tensions in Suspension Bridge Anchor Span Strands at Their Erection Stage: An Analytical Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During suspension bridge erection, tensions in its anchor span strands undergo continuous changes until the completed bridge state is attained. Calculating the precise tension values in the anchor span strands is critical ...
