Thermal Integral Micro-Generation Systems for Solar and Conventional Use
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal Integral Micro-Generation (TIMGen) systems on the scale of a few Watts are proposed for use with solar or fuel-derived heat. The optics, the thermal receiver, and several alternative ...
The Effect of Variable Coriolis Parameter in a Planetary Circulation Generated by a Two-Parameter Quasigeostrophic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The governing equations of a two-level quasigeostrophic model were integrated twice for periods of about 10 days, once including variation of the Coriolis parameter (the ? term) and once excluding it. As expected, the ...
Discussion of “<i>The Mechanical Aging of Soils</i>” by John H. Schmertmann (September, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 9)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
On the Use of Wet Bulb Temperature as an Environmental Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cooling capacity of an atmospheric environment is examined with respect to a wet object of a given surface temperature. The maximum cooling capacity (MCC) is defined as the sum of the sensible and latent heat fluxes ...
Temporal and Spatial Behavior of Large-Scale Disturbances in Tropical Cloudiness Deduced from Satellite Brightness Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale cloud field in the latitude belt 35°S?35°N is studied using satellite brightness data for the periods May 1967 to October 1967, and November 1967 to Apfil 1968. Time and space-time spectrum and longitude-time ...
Wave Activity Events and the Variability of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring Northern Hemisphere winter, polar stratospheric winds and temperatures exhibit significant variability that is due to the vertical propagation of planetary-scale waves. The most dramatic intraseasonal variations in ...
