Abstract: In this paper, the radiative properties of electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) and air plasma sprayed (APS) partially yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been comparatively ...

Abstract: Four and a half years of the global monthly oceanic rain rates derived from the DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) F-8 SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave/Imager) data are used to study the diurnal cycles. Annual ...

Abstract: This study attempts to bridge a gap in our knowledge and understanding of the East Asian monsoon by presenting a documentation of the rainfall and intraseasonal rainfall climatology of summer monsoon rainfall over East ...

Abstract: Epistemic uncertainty is widespread in reliability analysis of practical engineering products. Evidence theory is regarded as a powerful model for quantifying and analyzing epistemic uncertainty. However, the heavy ...

Abstract: An improved algorithm for the generation of gridded window brightness temperatures is presented. The primary data source is the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, level B3 data, covering the period from ...

Abstract: The flow structure, heat transfer, and entropy generation characteristics in the entrance region of mixed convection under the effect of transverse buoyancy force are investigated numerically. Results are obtained for ...

Abstract: The performance of the atmospheric component of the new Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model (HadGEM1) is assessed in terms of its ability to represent a selection of key aspects of variability in the Tropics and ...
