Role of Equatorial Cold Tongue in Central Pacific Double-ITCZ Bias in the NCAR CESM1.2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Warm SST bias underlying the spurious southern ITCZ has long been recognized as one of the main causes for double-ITCZ bias in coupled GCMs in the central Pacific. This study demonstrates that the NCAR CESM1.2 can still ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Hybrid (GFRP and Steel) Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforcing concrete with a combination of steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars promises favorable strength, serviceability, and durability. To verify its promise and to support design of concrete structures ...
Schemes for and Mechanisms of Reduction in Thermal Conductivity in Nanostructured Thermoelectrics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations were performed to investigate schemes for enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of thermoelectric nanowires (NWs), including (1) roughening ...
Studying Scale Dependency of Aerosol Cloud Interactions using Multi-Scale Cloud Formulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The WRF-ACI model configuration is used to investigate the scale dependency of aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) across the “grey zone” scales for grid and subgrid-scale clouds. The impacts of ACI on weather are examined ...
