Northern Hemisphere Climatology and Trends of Statistical Moments Documented from GHCN-Daily Surface Air Temperature Station Data from 1950 to 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first four statistical moments and their trends are calculated for the average daily surface air temperature (SAT) from 1950 to 2010 using the Global Historical Climatology Network?Daily station data for each season ...
The Effects of Gridding Algorithms on the Statistical Moments and Their Trends of Daily Surface Air Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper explores the effects from averaging weather station data onto a grid on the first four statistical moments of daily minimum and maximum surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies over the entire globe. The Global ...
A MADYMO Model of Near-Side Human Occupants in Side Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The protection of automotive occupants against broadside collisions is of current interest due to the implementation of a new Federal standard on side impact. There is controversy as to the ...
U.S. Hurricanes and Economic Damage: Extreme Value Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The historical record of U.S. hurricane damage is analyzed using a peaks-over-threshold approach in which the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is applied to model excesses above a specified threshold for a given damage ...
An Experimental and Numerical Study of Hybrid III Dummy Response to Simulated Underbody Blast Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Anthropometric test devices (ATDs) such as the Hybrid III dummy have been widely used in automotive crash tests to evaluate the risks of injury at different body regions. In recent years, researchers have started using ...
Coupled Impacts of the Diurnal Cycle of Sea Surface Temperature on the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study quantifies, from a systematic set of regional ocean?atmosphere coupled model simulations employing various coupling intervals, the effect of subdaily sea surface temperature (SST) variability on the onset and ...
Spherical Harmonic Spectral Estimation on Arbitrary Grids
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study explores the use of nonuniform fast spherical Fourier transforms on meteorological data that are arbitrarily distributed on the sphere. The applicability of this methodology in the atmospheric sciences ...
City-Wide Application of the Affordable and Rapid StreetScan Pavement-Management System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The StreetScan pavement-management system (PMS) is introduced. It empowers cities to make more cost-effective road repair decisions. At the heart of the system is a vehicle outfitted with a patented, multimodal sensor array ...
Optimization of Underbody Blast Energy-Attenuating Seat Mechanisms Using Modified MADYMO Human Body Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Though energy attenuating (EA) seats for air and spacecraft applications have existed for decades, they have not yet been fully characterized for their energy attenuation capability or resulting effect on occupant protection ...
