Abstract: he evolution of wind-induced ocean waves is studied theoretically. The modeling assumes that wave groups evolve independently of each other in a state of local equilibrium between wind-pumping- and wave-breaking-induced ...

Abstract: Four West African rainfall anomaly types are defined in relation to the northern summer rainfall departure signs in the Sahel and in the Guinean region in order to investigate the statistical links between interannual ...

Abstract: No Abstract Available.

Abstract: Relatively little is known about the accuracy of conceptual rainfall-runoff model simulations of extreme floods. A case study is used to evaluate the accuracy of runoff model simulations of the 100-year flood of July 1, ...

Abstract: The wind-field coherence over West Africa is investigated during two contrasted periods, 1953?63 (abnormally wet) and 1963-75 (abnormally dry) in the Sahel. Zonal and meridional components of the monthly mean wind are ...

Abstract: A set of ensemble model experiments using the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric Model version 3.0 (CAM3) is run to investigate the tropical Pacific response to midlatitude atmospheric variability ...

Abstract: For a variety of design purposes there is increasing interest in estimating probabilities of rare floods, with magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood. One estimation approach, which we term “stochastic storm transposition,” ...

Abstract: POGO is a simple technique for measuring water transport between the surface and some preselected depth. Equipped with a 12-kHz pinger for tracking and range measurement, a xenon flasher for nighttime relocation, and a VHF ...

Abstract: The RAFOS float is a small neutrally buoyant subsurface order, which, like its big brother the SOFAR float, uses the deep sound (or SOFAR) channel to determine its position as a function of time. Whereas the SOFAR float ...

Abstract: Accurate traffic state information is essential for both travelers and transportation agencies. In the past, traffic condition data were usually collected by a government agency using its own sensors. Recently, a number ...
