Abstract: Extreme-value statistics for the maximum depth of soil freezing are developed based on a physical soil freezing model and a semiphysical soil water budgeting scheme. The model uses only daily air temperature, snow depth, ...

Abstract: Typically, limitations in soil volume deprive urban trees of adequate water supplies. As a result, tree survival, health, and development can be adversely affected. Proper sizing of urban tree pits and containers can ...

Abstract: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Technical Paper-29, published in the late 1950s, remains the most commonly used reference for estimating extreme areal precipitation from station data in the United States. ...

Abstract: Extreme-value statistics for the maximum depth of soil freezing are developed based on model-derived soil freezing estimates for the northeastern United States. The model used is shown to be quite accurate at estimating ...

Abstract: Numerous roof collapses throughout the Middle Atlantic and New England States followed the occurrence of two winter storms during the period of Jan. 6–15, 1996. Cumulative horizontal ground-measured snow loads for these ...
