RISEulerian and Lagrangian Statistics in the South China Sea as Deduced from Surface Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ulerian and Lagrangian statistics of the surface flows over the South China Sea (SCS) are investigated based on observations of satellite-tracked Lagrangian drifters of the Surface Velocity Program. Although the dataset ...
On the Estimation of Lagrangian Diffusivity: Influence of Nonstationary Mean Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ddy?mean flow decomposition is crucial to the estimation of Lagrangian diffusivity based on drifter data. Previous studies have shown that inhomogeneous mean flow induces shear dispersion that increases the estimated ...
Thermal Performance of Microencapsulated Phase Change Material Slurry in a Coil Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the convective heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry in a coil heat exchanger (CHX). The thermal ...
Reconciling Lagrangian Diffusivity and Effective Diffusivity in Contour-Based Coordinates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe present study reconciles theoretical differences between the Lagrangian diffusivity and effective diffusivity in a transformed spatial coordinate based on the contours of a quasi-conservative tracer. In the ...
Tidal Mixing in the South China Sea: An Estimate Based on the Internal Tide Energetics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: y taking into account the contributions of both locally and remotely generated internal tides, the tidal mixing in the Luzon Strait (LS) and the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated through internal-tide simulation and ...
Characteristics of the Near-Surface Currents in the Indian Ocean as Deduced from Satellite-Tracked Surface Drifters. Part I: Pseudo-Eulerian Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the 1985?2013 record of near-surface currents from satellite-tracked drifters, the pseudo-Eulerian statistics of the near-surface circulation in the Indian Ocean (IO) are analyzed. It is found that the distributions ...
Characteristics of the Near-Surface Currents in the Indian Ocean as Deduced from Satellite-Tracked Surface Drifters. Part II: Lagrangian Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: agrangian statistics of the surface circulation in the Indian Ocean (IO) are investigated using drifter observations during 1985?2013. The methodology isolates the influence of low-frequency variations and horizontal shear ...
Coupling a Markov Chain and Support Vector Machine for At-Site Downscaling of Daily Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStatistical downscaling is useful for managing scale and resolution problems in outputs from global climate models (GCMs) for climate change impact studies. To improve downscaling of precipitation occurrence, this ...
Clustering Urban Multifunctional Landscapes Using the Self-Organizing Feature Map Neural Network Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multifunctionality in urban ecosystems has received much attention in the last decade from researchers and policy makers. This paper provides research on urban multifunctional landscape clustering, using the city of Shenzhen, ...
Comparison of First-Order and Second-Order Derived Moment Approaches in Estimating Annual Runoff Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The first-order second-moment approximation (FOSM) has been proposed to estimate the annual runoff (Q) distribution from the statistical information of annual precipitation (P), annual potential evapotranspiration (Ep), ...
