RISVerification of Categorical Probability Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper compares a number of probabilistic weather forecasting verification approaches. Forecasting skill scores from linear error in probability space and relative operating characteristics are compared with results ...
Local and Nonlocal Impacts of Soil Moisture Initialization on AGCM Seasonal Forecasts: A Model Sensitivity Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a version of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) atmospheric general circulation model, this study investigates the model's sensitivity to different soil moisture initial conditions in its ...
Impacts of Tropical Deforestation. Part I: Process Analysis of Local Climatic Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential impacts of deforestation in the humid Tropics are examined using a version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's CCM1 coupled with the Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme package. Tropical ...
Impacts of Tropical Deforestation. Part II: The Role of Large-Scale Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second in a pair of papers in which the possible impacts of tropical deforestation are examined using a version of the NCAR CCM1. The emphasis in this paper is on the influence of tropical deforestation on the ...
Stable Isotopes as Validation Tools for Global Climate Model Predictions of the Impact of Amazonian Deforestation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines changes in isotopic abundances for 18O and deuterium in precipitation over the Amazon basin based on data in the Global Network on Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database from the International Atomic ...
Prediction of Turbulent Flow Around a Square Cylinder With Rounded Corners
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Predictions are reported of the two-dimensional turbulent flow around a square cylinder with rounded corners at high Reynolds numbers. The effects of rounded corners have proved difficult to predict with conventional ...
Managing Day-to-Day Network Traffic Evolution via an Altering Ex-Post Information Release Strategy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Providing travelers with full ex-post travel time information from day to day can only make a disequilibrium network evolve to the user equilibrium, rather than the system-optimal or other better-off states. To make best ...
Design and Analysis of a Valveless Impedance Pump for a Direct Sodium Borohydride–Hydrogen Peroxide Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A valveless impedance pump is designed and applied for the first time to supply the liquid fuels for a direct sodium borohydride–hydrogen peroxide fuel cell (DBHPFC). This valveless pump consists of an amber latex rubber ...
Self Lubricating and Wear Resistant Epoxy Composites Incorporated With Microencapsulated Wax
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selflubricating and wear resistant epoxy composites were developed via incorporation of waxcontaining microcapsules. The effects of microcapsule size and content and working parameters on the tribological properties of ...
Impacts of Land Surface Model Complexity on a Regional Simulation of a Tropical Synoptic Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multimode Chameleon Surface Model (CHASM) with different levels of complexity in parameterizing surface energy balance is coupled to a limited-area model (DARLAM) to investigate the impacts of complexity in land surface ...
