RISWashington State’s I-405 Project: Women in Industry Leadership
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Within the engineering profession, women have traditionally been in the minority, especially in management and leadership roles. In Washington State, however, three women engineers, Denise Cieri, Stacy Trussler, and Wendy ...
A Path to Gender Equity in the Geosciences: Empowering Women Postdocs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Classification of Tours in the U.S. National Household Travel Survey through Clustering Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tours are increasingly being considered as an appropriate unit of observation of mobility behaviors and are one of the key ideas underpinning contemporary activity-based modeling approaches. Identifying typologies of tours ...
Testing the Effects of a New Land Surface Scheme and of Initial Soil Moisture Conditions in the Canadian Global Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new land surface scheme developed for the Canadian general circulation model has been introduced into the Canadian global forecast model and tested for a summer case. It features three soil layers, a snow layer, and a ...

Pollution Prevention as Planning Tool in Rehabilitation of Historic Canton Railroad Viaduct
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many construction projects must confront the need to manage pollutants, including oil and/or hazardous materials as well as sediments. Where possible, identifying, addressing, and resolving potential pollution issues can ...
Recent Trends in Four Common Stability Indices Derived from U.S. Radiosonde Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily sounding-derived atmospheric stability indices are typically employed for short-term severe weather forecasts. Over longer time periods, these indicators may convey changes in the potential for severe storm development ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Ultra-Fast Phase Transition in Water Nanofilms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore explosive boiling of thin water films on a gold substrate. In particular, water films of 0.7, 1.6, and 2.5 nanometer thickness were examined. Three different surface ...
Effects of Airflow Trajectories Around Aircraft on Measurements of Scalar Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Potential-flow calculations of the airflow around two research aircraft are used to estimate the effect of flow distortion on measured fluxes of sensible heat and water vapor. From the calculated flow patterns, flow-distortion ...
The Accuracy of Vertical Air Velocities from Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight methods of calculating vertical air velocity in a column are compared. Each method requires some or all of the following data: horizontal divergence, vertical precipitation velocity, hydrometeor terminal fall speed, ...
