On the Mass-Flux Representation of Vertical Transport in Moist Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates to what extent the convective fluxes formulated within the mass-flux framework can represent the total vertical transport of heat and moisture in the cloud layer and whether the same approach can be ...
A Theoretical and Observational Analysis on the Formation of Fair-Weather Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation of fair-weather cumuli (FWC) has been analyzed in this study based on both a simple mixed layer model and a subset of the data collected from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program at the southern ...
Sequential Sampling Framework for Metamodeling Uncertainty Reduction in Multilevel Optimization of Hierarchical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Metamodels instead of computer simulations are often adopted to reduce the computational cost in the uncertainty-based multilevel optimization. However, metamodel techniques may bring prediction discrepancy, which is defined ...
A Simulation Study of Shallow Moist Convection and Its Impact on the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By comparing regional model simulations with the observations collected at the southern Great Plains (SGP) site and the tropical western Pacific (TWP) Nauru site of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) project, this ...
The Optimal Mode and an Approximate Expression of Final Displacement in Dynamic Plastic Response of Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper is concerned with the dynamic response of impulsively loaded rigid-perfectly plastic structures. By combining the mode approximation technique with the upper and the lower bound theorems, ...
Formation and Development of Nocturnal Boundary Layer Clouds over the Southern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation and evolution of nocturnal boundary layer clouds over land are studied using a simple well-mixed boundary layer theory. By analyzing the deepening rate of the mixed layer depth based on the turbulent kinetic ...

Simulated Convective Invigoration Processes at Trade Wind Cumulus Cold Pool Boundaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of precipitating trade wind cumuli show convective invigoration on the downwind side of their cold pools. The authors study convection and cold pools using a nested?Weather Research and Forecasting Model ...
An Adaptive Response Surface Method Using Bayesian Metric and Model Bias Correction Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Bayesian metric was used to select the best available response surface in the literature. One of the major drawbacks of this method is the lack of a rigorous method to quantify data uncertainty, which is required as ...
Data-Driven Topology Optimization With Multiclass Microstructures Using Latent Variable Gaussian Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The data-driven approach is emerging as a promising method for the topological design of multiscale structures with greater efficiency. However, existing data-driven methods mostly focus on a single class of microstructures ...
