RISAn Evaluation of the Wind Chill Factor: Its Development and Applicability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wind chill factor has become a standard meteorologic term in cold climates. Meteorologic charts provide wind chill temperatures meant to represent the hypothetical air temperature that would, ...
Transition to Turbulence in Pulsatile Flow Through Heart Valves—A Modified Stability Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presence of turbulence in the cardiovascular system is generally an indication of some type of abnormality. Most cardiologists agree that turbulence near a valve indicates either valvular ...
Comments on “Inconsistencies in the ‘New’ Windchill Chart at Low Wind Speeds”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Surface Meteorological Observations in Severe Thunderstorms. Part II: Field Experiments with TOTO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The TOTO (Totable Tornado Observatory) device was field tested in the Southern Plains by a severe-storm intercept team from the University of Oklahoma from late May through early June 1981. The results from two intercept ...
THE NEW WIND CHILL EQUIVALENT TEMPERATURE CHART
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formula used in the U.S. and Canada to express the combined effect of wind and low temperature on how cold it feels was changed in November 2001. Many had felt that the old formula for equivalent temperature, derived ...
CLASS for Class
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Faculty and students from the School of Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma and staff members from the Atmospheric Technology Division at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) participated in a special ...
High-Based Funnel Clouds in the Southern Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Photographic evidence is presented of funnel clouds pendant from the bases of convective clouds whose updrafts appear to be rooted well above the boundary layer. These funnel clouds occur in environments supportive of ...
A Funnel Cloud in a Convective Cloud Line to the Rear of a Surface Cold Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This brief case study describes the unusually benign environment in which a funnel cloud formed along a line of convective towers during the summer in Kansas. The parent cloud line was solitary and very narrow, yet organized ...
On the Decay of Supercells through a “Downscale Transition”: Visual Documentation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Photographic and mobile-radar documentation of the dissipation of a supercell and a severe convective storm that had not yet developed into a mature supercell are discussed. It is hypothesized, based on these cases and on ...
Further Examples of Low-Precipitation Severe Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics and environment of low-precipitation severe thunderstorms in the Southern Plains have been summarized by Bluestein and Parks in 1983. Photographic documentation is given here of several storms not previously shown....
