Abstract: Two different experimental approaches for the evaluation of a bridge deck’s stationary aerodynamic forces are studied in this paper: both wind tunnel measurement of global force and pressure distribution are evaluated on ...

Abstract: A 15-yr (1980?95) 3-hourly record of surface pressure from the Dome Concordia automatic weather station (74.30°S, 123.00°E; 3280 m MSL), located in East Antarctica, was analyzed to study the annual behavior of the semidiurnal ...

Abstract: The analysis of surface pressure data obtained in 1993?94 at the Dumont d'Urville meteorological station and at Automatic Weather Stations Dome C, D-47, and D-80 (East Antarctica) shows the existence of a daily variation. ...

Abstract: This paper is focused on the study of a vibrating system forced by a rotating unbalance and coupled to a tuned mass damper (TMD). The analysis of the dynamic response of the entire system is used to define the parameters ...

Abstract: Accurate measurements of vertical wind velocity w by sodar are useful for investigating dynamic phenomena in the PBL such as convection, subsidence, divergence, and vertical movements associated with local circulation. ...

Abstract: In order to properly model the influence of land surface properties on mesoscale atmospheric phenomena, it is important to include physically realistic parameterizations of major biophysical processes involved. The primary ...

Abstract: While some people involved in the acoustic remote sensing field are aware of the possibility of receiving dot echoes from nonatmospheric targets, most of the papers available in the scientific literature dealing with this ...
