Regional Variability in Tropical Convection: Observations from TRMM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observation of the vertical profile of precipitation over the global Tropics is a key objective of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) because this information is central to obtaining vertical profiles of latent ...
Evaluation of the Utility of Satellite-Based Vegetation Leaf Area Index Data for Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the utility of satellite-based leaf area index (LAI) data in improving the simulation of near-surface climate with the NCAR Community Climate Model, version 3 (CCM3), GCM is evaluated. The use of mean LAI ...
Projection of Climate Change onto Modes of Atmospheric Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two possible interpretations of forced climate change view it as projecting, either linearly or nonlinearly, onto the dominant modes of variability of the climate system. An evaluation of these two interpretations is ...
Constitutive Modeling in Analysis of Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although significant progress on the modeling of concrete behavior has been made in recent years, no unified treatment of the existing mathematical models from which a comprehensive three‐dimensional constitutive model can ...
Flow Fields in Lower Lock Approaches Induced by Hydro‐Plant Releases
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flow fields and navigation conditions induced by hydro‐plant releases into lower lock approaches are investigated for hydro plants in typical riverine lock‐and‐dam installations and a wide range of flow conditions. Both ...
A Procedure for Estimating the Stress Intensity Factor of a Flattened Surface Crack at a Nozzle Corner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A flattened surface crack at a nozzle corner is modeled by a segment of a semi-elliptical crack in a finite thickness plate with matching crack contour and crack pressure corresponding to the ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This Chart is available in the print version.
Interannual Variation of Summer Atmospheric Heat Source over the Tibetan Plateau and the Role of Convection around the Western Maritime Continent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impacts of summer atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on regional climate variation have attracted extensive attention. However, few studies have focused on possible causes of the interannual variation ...
