A Model for the Wave Localization in a Disordered Periodic Elevated Railway Undergoing In Plane Vibration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a model for the analysis of the wave localization in a special kind of simplysupported beam bridge, namely, the periodic elevated railway (PER), is developed. For simplicity, each span of the PER is supposed ...
The Role of Oceanic Feedback in the Climate Response to Doubling CO2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo suites of partial coupling experiments are devised with the upper-ocean dynamics version (UOM) of the CCSM3 to isolate the effects of the feedbacks from the change of the wind-driven ocean circulation and air?sea heat ...
Expansion of the Hadley Cell under Global Warming: Winter versus Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: scaling relationship is introduced to explain the seasonality in the outer boundary of the Hadley cell in both climatology and trend in the simulations of phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3). In ...
Reconciling the Stommel Box Model with the Stommel–Arons Model: A Possible Role for Southern Hemisphere Wind Forcing?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Stommel box model, the strength of the overturning circulation is parameterized in terms of the density (and hence the pressure) difference between the two boxes. Straub has pointed out that this parameterization ...

Surface Stress Effects on the Yield Strength in Nanotwinned Polycrystal Face Centered Cubic Metallic Nanowires
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of surface stress on the yield strength of nanotwinned polycrystal facecenteredcubic (FCC) metallic nanowire is theoretically investigated. The contribution of surface boundaries on the strengthening/softening ...
Finite-Amplitude Lagrangian-Mean Wave Activity Diagnostics Applied to the Baroclinic Eddy Life Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: agrangian-mean wave activity diagnostics are applied to the nonlinear baroclinic eddy life cycle in a simple general circulation model of the atmosphere. The growth of these instabilities through baroclinic conversion of ...
Sensitivities and Mechanisms of the Zonal Mean Atmospheric Circulation Response to Tropical Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough El Niño and global warming are both characterized by warming in the tropical upper troposphere, the latitudinal changes of the Hadley cell edge and midlatitude eddy-driven jet are opposite in sign. Using an idealized ...
Delineating the Eddy–Zonal Flow Interaction in the Atmospheric Circulation Response to Climate Forcing: Uniform SST Warming in an Idealized Aquaplanet Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mechanisms of the atmospheric response to climate forcing are analyzed using an example of uniform SST warming in an idealized aquaplanet model. A 200-member ensemble of experiments is conducted with an instantaneous ...
The Transient Circulation Response to Radiative Forcings and Sea Surface Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropospheric circulation shifts have strong potential to impact surface climate. However, the magnitude of these shifts in a changing climate and the attending regional hydrological changes are difficult to project. Part ...
