RISComparison between Nimbus-7 SMMR and ECMWF Model Analyses: The Problem of the Surface Latent Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nimbus-7 SMMR data of sea surface temperature, surface wind and precipitable water are compared to the ECMWF model daily analyzes for the first Special Observing Period of the FGGE Period (January-February 1979). The ...
A Simple Method for Testing Brightness Temperatures from Satellite Microwave Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is proposed for testing microwave measurements from spaceborne sensors by computing collocated simulated brightness temperatures from the ECMWF numerical weather meteorological model using an atmospheric radiative ...
Evapotranspiration over an Agricultural Region Using a Surface Flux/Temperature Model Based on NOAA-AVHRR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The possibility of using infrared surface temperatures from satellites (NOAA, GOES) for inferring daily evaporation and soil moisture distribution over large areas (102 to 105 km2) has been extensively studied during the ...
Enterprise Risk Management Strategies for State Departments of Transportation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The leaders of DOTs and other public agencies that build and operate capital facilities manage a multitude of human, technological, political, technical, and natural resources in an environment that is fraught with ...
Evaluation of a Surface/Vegetation Parameterization Using Satellite Measurements of Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper compares surface sensible heat flux and soil moisture values derived by inverting two boundary layers models with a surface/vegetation formulation, using surface temperature measurements made from NOAA-7 satellite ...
Characterization of Stress at a Ceramic/Metal Joined Interface by the V(z) Technique of Scanning Acoustic Microscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is well known that the process of heating and then cooling dissimilar materials introduces considerable stress at and near the interface. In this article, first, the surface wave velocity ...
Safety Risk Quantification for High Performance Sustainable Building Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recent study found that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings have a recordable injury rate that is 9% higher than traditional, non-LEED buildings. A follow-up study showed that there ...
Model Uncertainty in Cloud–Circulation Coupling, and Cloud-Radiative Response to Increasing CO2, Linked to Biases in Climatological Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecent analyses of global climate models suggest that uncertainty in the coupling between midlatitude clouds and the atmospheric circulation contributes to uncertainty in climate sensitivity. However, the reasons ...
Identification of Safety Risks for High-Performance Sustainable Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The United States Green Building Council (USGBC)-sponsored Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building program represents the largest program in the United States for the measurement, verification, ...
