Abstract: Free space Green's functions may be used to reconstruct the wind over a limited domain from vorticity, divergence, and the wind at the boundary of the domain. When standard finite-difference estimates of the vorticity/divergence ...

Abstract: Theories of frontogenesis and frontal waves describe development in terms of the interaction of a basic state or environmental flow with a frontal flow. The basic-state flow may comprise a large-scale confluent?diffluent ...

Abstract: This paper describes an analysis of hydraulic conductivity data collected from 57 landfill liners and covers throughout North America. Statistical characteristics of the data are summarized, and goodness‐of‐fit analyses ...

Abstract: Using a conservation of sand approach, the effects of a rising sea surface are quantified and separated from other causes of shore retreat. Sitespecific data important in predicting shoreline changes are: (1) Initial ...

Abstract: Infiltration tests were conducted in the laboratory to study water movement during infiltration in compacted clay and to determine the suction head at the wetting front as defined in the Green-Ampt infiltration equation. ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to evaluate factors affecting flow rates past soil-bentonite (SB), geomembrane (GM), and composite geomembrane-soil (CGS) vertical cutoff walls. Intact walls and walls containing defects ...
