Abstract: We examine a documented failure in high-velocity condensate correctly identified by the current standard, unlike similar failures that could only be explained if elevated Strouhal number was considered. On closer review ...

Abstract: Elementary gradient wind balance has been discussed in all dynamic meteorology texts and many papers since the turn of the century. It has nearly escaped notice, however, that if one fully nondimensionalizes the gradient ...

Abstract: Examples of the application of a general method, standard in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, for expressing the meteorological equations in systematic non-dimensional form are given. In the case of the equation of motion, ...

Abstract: The behavior of time-dependent oceanic boundary layers on a sloping bottom in the presence of stratification is investigated by the method of direct numerical simulations. The Navier?Stokes equations are decomposed into ...

Abstract: The behavior of oceanic boundary layers on a sloping bottom in the presence of stratification is investigated by the method of direct numerical simulations. The Navier?Stokes equations are decomposed into mean and turbulent ...

Abstract: Laboratory model experiments, showing unmistakable phenomena of a polar- front type, are described and illustrated.

Abstract: Ray-tracing models of short, oceanic internal waves commonly predict the existence of caustics, where neigh-boring rays cross. Here we present a linear model of short-wave refraction that yields caustics for the short waves ...

Abstract: The variation in the herizontal Reynolds stress due to the internal wave field with respect to the location of the Gulf Stream is examined. These measurements are from an array of current meter moorings placed in the mean ...

Abstract: Documented thermowell failures designed to PTC 19.3TW and earlier, when evaluated with the drag crisis invoked, reveals the potential for enhanced reliability of the current standard in reducing the risk of failure. The ...
