Dependence of Energy Flux from the Wind to Surface Inertial Currents on the Scale of Atmospheric Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric features such as translating cold fronts and small lows with horizontal scales of about 100 km are traditionally thought to be most important in exciting near-inertial motions in the ocean. However, ...
Latitudinal Dependence of Wind-Induced Near-Inertial Energy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idlatitude storms, accounting for the majority of wind energy input to near-inertial motions in the ocean, are known to shift their track significantly from one year to another. The consequence of such storm track shifts ...
Lateral Hunting Stability of Railway Vehicles Running on Elastic Track Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Considering the viscoelastic property of railway track structure, it is suggested in this paper to include the influence of track dynamics in calculation of lateral stability of railway vehicles ...
On the North Atlantic Ocean Heat Content Change between 1955–70 and 1980–95
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he upper-ocean heat content of the North Atlantic has undergone significant changes over the last 50 years but the underlying physical mechanisms are not yet well understood. In the present study, the authors examine the ...
Regime Transitions of Cross-Equatorial Hadley Circulations with Zonally Asymmetric Thermal Forcings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bserved nonlinearities in the seasonal evolution of monsoons have been previously explained using theories for Hadley circulations driven by zonally symmetric thermal forcings, even though monsoonal forcings deviate strongly ...
On the Variability of Wind Power Input to the Oceans with a Focus on the Subpolar North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariations in power input to the ocean using a recent global ?reanalysis? extending back to 1871 show a strong trend in the net power input since then, a trend dominated by the Southern Ocean region. This trend is interpreted ...
The Role of Convectively Generated Gravity Waves on Convective Initiation: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: case study of a convection initiation (CI) event involving a mesoscale gravity wave is presented. This severe convection event occurred in east China on 5 June 2009. High-frequency automatic weather station (AWS) data, ...
A Unified Analytical Method of Stress Analysis for Tubesheet—Part III: Applicable Configuration of Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the unified analytical (UA) method and the unified and refined analytical (URA) method of stress analysis for fixed tubesheet (TS) heat exchangers (HEXs), floating head, and U-tube HEXs, the applicable configuration ...
Cross Wind Effects on Vehicle–Track Interactions: A Methodology for Dynamic Model Construction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An efficient and accurate model for the dynamic assessment of vehicle-track behavior subjected to cross wind actions is developed in this paper, where the wind–vehicle–track interaction is regarded as a coupled vibration ...
Precursor Circulation Features for Persistent Extreme Precipitation in Central-Eastern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a composite analysis, the typical precursor circulation configuration from the lower to the upper troposphere responsible for persistent extreme precipitation events (PEPEs) of double-blocking-high type in central-eastern ...
