Abstract: A coupled atmosphere?wave?sea spray model system is used to evaluate the impact of sea spray and wave drag on storm-generated waves, their height variations, and directional wave spectra in relation to the storm location ...

Abstract: A coupled atmosphere?wave?sea spray model system is used to evaluate the combined impacts of spray evaporation and wave drag on midlatitude storms. The focus of this paper is on the role of air?sea fluxes on storm intensity ...

Abstract: A variational data assimilation method is applied to remotely sensed wind data from Hurricanes Gustav (2002) and Isabel (2003) to produce enhanced marine wind estimates. The variational method utilizes constraints to ensure ...

Abstract: As a prospective machining method for cylindrical gear, gear skiving has been promoted by many commercial companies, such as Gleason, Mitsubishi, and Prawema recently. Although the principle and mathematical model for gear ...

Abstract: Air?sea transfer processes over the ocean strongly affect how hurricanes develop. High winds generate large amounts of sea spray, which can modify the transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture across the air?sea interface. ...

Abstract: Gear shaping, a widely used machining method for circular gears, was generalized to noncircular gears in recent works using a 3-linkage machine tool. As the pitch curve normals of noncircular gears change constantly in ...
