RISA New Method to Retrieve Thin Cloud Optical Thickness from a Ratio of Scattering to Global Solar Irradiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree kinds of ?visible? cloud optical thickness τ?matching shortwave direct, global, and scattering solar irradiances (Ids, Igs and Iss)?are defined, which are marked as τd, τg, and τs, respectively. It is found from ...
Pounding Responses of an Expansion Joint in a Curved Ramp Bridge under Earthquake Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Kelvin contact element was used to simulate the collision between expansion joints at the pier and the abutment. The purpose was to investigate the pounding responses of the expansion joint in a curved ramp bridge under ...
A New Method to Calibrate Shortwave Solar Radiation Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method is proposed to simultaneously calibrate shortwave (0.3?4 ?m) global, direct, and scattering solar irradiance (GSI, DSI, and SSI, respectively) measurements. The method uses the World Radiation Reference (WRR) as a ...
