Abstract: An in situ benthic chamber has been developed in order to measure rates of respiration and photosynthesis in rivers. Oxygen mass balances for three rivers show satisfactory agreement between chamber

Abstract: The variability of intense (or major) hurricanes in the Atlantic basin is investigated on both intraseasonal and interannual time scales. Differences are highlighted in characteristics between intense hurricanes and the ...

Abstract: The load-duration, or creep-rupture, behavior of wood and wood composite products has been studied extensively by numerous researchers, and simplified design procedures to account for creep effects are in place. However, ...

Abstract: This paper describes a predictive relationship between West African rainfall and U.S. hurricane-spawned destruction, which is based on information for the 42-yr period 1949?90. It is shown that above-average rainfall during ...

Abstract: ultiple alternating zonal jets are a ubiquitous feature of planetary atmospheres and oceans. However, most studies to date have focused on the special case of barotropic jets. Here, the dynamics of freely evolving baroclinic ...

Abstract: n elevated supercell from VORTEX2 on 6 May 2010 is investigated. Observations show that the supercell formed over a stable inversion and was likely decoupled from the surface. Quintessential features of a supercell were ...

Abstract: This study investigates nonlinear waves ahead of cold fronts in the Great Australian Bight, south of the Australian continent. These waves often form a series of roll clouds on their crests analogous to the ?morning glory,? ...

Abstract: The characteristics of an unforced, stratified f-plane geostrophic flow over topography are described, and scaling arguments are made to justify the use of such a flow as a first-order approximation to a real, large-scale ...
