Abstract: Modern electronics reliability prediction models require materials-specific failure data across a range of conditions. Garofalo models are preferred due to their ability to accurately predict performance over a wide ...

Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a NASA multisatellite measurement program for monitoring the radiation environment of the earth?atmosphere system. The CERES instrument was flown on the Tropical ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an accurate and efficient numerical model by combining the method of characteristics (MOC) and the meshless localized radial basis function collocation method (LRBFCM) to simulate the shallow water flow ...

Abstract: ighly accurate measurements of Earth?s thermal infrared and reflected solar radiation are required for detecting and predicting long-term climate change. Consideration is given to the concept of using the International ...

Abstract: Observations from a wide variety of instruments and platforms are used to validate many different aspects of a three-dimensional mesoscale simulation of the dynamics, cloud microphysics, and radiative transfer of a cirrus ...

Abstract: A large number of urban surface energy balance models now exist with different assumptions about the important features of the surface and exchange processes that need to be incorporated. To date, no comparison of these ...

Abstract: te Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission will provide a calibration laboratory in orbit for the purpose of accurately measuring and attributing climate change. CLARREO measurements establish new ...

Abstract: ir quality and heat are strong health drivers, and their accurate assessment and forecast are important in densely populated urban areas. However, the sources and processes leading to high concentrations of main pollutants, ...
