Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that soil moisture in the top layers (e.g., within the top 1-m depth) can be retrieved by assimilating near-surface soil moisture observations into a land surface model using ensemble-based ...

Abstract: In this article, vibration characteristics and active vibration control (AVC) of an axially moving cantilever structure are investigated. First, the vibration equation of an axially moving cantilever beam with variable ...

Abstract: A simple soil heat transfer model is used together with an adaptive Kalman filter to estimate the daily averaged soil volumetric water contents from diurnal variations of the soil temperatures measured at different depths. ...

Abstract: Some basic statistics for wave breaking have been derived based on the statistical model of real sea waves. The analytic expressions of breaking entrainment depth and surface whitecap coverage involved with both sea wave ...

Abstract: his study deals with the physical properties and 3D structures of the wave motions with finite wavelengths of O(100?550) km in the tropical western North Pacific and their variation as propagating from the Pacific to the ...

Abstract: sing the generalized omega equation and cruise observations in July 2012, this study analyzes the 3D vertical circulation in the upwelling region and frontal zone east of Hainan Island, China. The results show that there ...

Abstract: wo approaches are proposed to introduce the surface energy storage into the cost function in a variational method for improving the estimates of surface turbulent heat fluxes. In the first approach, each of the energy ...

Abstract: In order to study the effects of particle size on the determination of pore structure in shale, the outcrop of Ordovician Wufeng (WF) and Silurian Longmaxi shale (LMX) samples from Sichuan basin were chosen and crushed ...
