Abstract: AbstractTrends and transitions in the growing-season normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor at 250-m resolution were analyzed for the ...

Abstract: A statistical framework is presented for the assessment of climatological trends in the frequency of rare and extreme weather events. The methodology applies to long-term records of event counts and is based on the stochastic ...

Abstract: Upon assuming office in 1994, the South African government began constructing social housing for the less privileged to improve their socioeconomic living standards. However, one of the primary factors behind the rising ...

Abstract: The passage of a low-level baroclinic zone toward an elongated ridge is simulated in the limit of the nonlinear quasi-geostrophic dynamics of a uniform potential vorticity atmosphere. It is demonstrated that lee cyclogenesis ...

Abstract: Adjudication was enacted in the Housing Grants,

Abstract: Vertical spectra of temperature perturbations are due to (i) internal wave displacement in the mean profile and (ii) fine-structure that would still be measured in the absence of internal waves. The former is probably ...

Abstract: The conservation of potential vorticity Q can be expressed as ?(?Q/?t + ?·J = 0, where J denotes the total flux of potential vorticity. It is shown that J is related under statistically steady conditions to the Bernoulli ...

Abstract: The connection between Rayleigh’s quotient and perturbation theory for the eigenvalue problem is studied. Equivalence of these techniques is proven under certain conditions.

Abstract: This paper enhances an earlier publication by including the concentration equations of motion into the area-conserved one-dimensional based diesel particulate filter model. A brief historical review ...
