Abstract: A simple and computationally efficient method is described for estimating hydrometeor size distributions within a convective storm. The method requires air motion measurements (from Doppler radar in this case, but it could ...

Abstract: A means of pressurizing thrust bearings through the use of ions and high electric fields is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, the mechanism is attributed to corona ...

Abstract: As a card-carrying ecologist I would like to commend Lyn Arscott’s recent discussion (“Sustainable development in the oil and gas industry” ASME J. Energy Resour. Technol. 126 (1) pp. 1–4) ...

Abstract: Typical synoptic-scale features are described for summertime severe thunderstorms on the High Plains. Severe weather generally occurs on several days in succession, under conditions that are relatively benign in terms of ...

Abstract: This paper is taken from a talk given by the author during the September 26–30, 1993 Joint Triennial Conference in London and Maidstone, Kent, U.K., during a session entitled, “The Environmental Challenge for Engineers.” ...

Abstract: Short-term climate predictions (two weeks to two years) have many applications in operation of water supply and flood control facilities. They can influence use of water for irrigation, hydroelectric power production, flood ...
