RISEvaluation of the Hydrometeor Layers in the East and West Pacific within ISCCP Cloud-Top Pressure–Optical Depth Bins Using Merged CloudSat and CALIPSO Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) provides a multidecadal and global description of cloud properties that are often grouped into joint histograms of column visible optical depth τ and effective ...
Experiments in a Large Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel: Upstream Terrain Effects on Surface Pressures Acting on a Low-Rise Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An extensive series of experiments in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) was carried out at the University of Florida (UF) Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility to investigate ...
Articulating and Stationary PARSIVEL Disdrometer Measurements in Conditions with Strong Winds and Heavy Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he influence of strong winds on the quality of optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer measurements is examined with data from Hurricane Ike in 2008 and from convective thunderstorms observed during the second ...
Role of Rain as Perception Aid in Assessing Wind Speeds and Associated Personal Risks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractExtreme event perception drives personal risks and, consequently, dictates household decision-making before, during, and after extreme events. Given this, increasing the extreme event perception accuracy of the ...
Wavelet Analyses of Turbulence in the Hurricane Surface Layer during Landfalls
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using wavelet transform (WT), this study analyzes the surface wind data collected by the portable wind towers during the landfalls of six hurricanes and one tropical storm in the 2002?04 seasons. The WT, which decomposes ...
Mapping of Near-Surface Winds in Hurricane Rita Using Finescale Radar, Anemometer, and Land-Use Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata collected from a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) mobile radar deployed in Port Arthur, Texas, near the point of landfall of Hurricane Rita (2005) and from two Florida Coastal Monitoring Program 10-m weather stations (FCMP-WSs) ...
Development of an Extreme Wind-Driven Rain Climatology for the Southeastern United States Using 1-Min Rainfall and Peak Wind Speed Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Utility of Genetic Algorithms for Solving Large-Scale Construction Time-Cost Trade-Off Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The time-cost trade-off (TCT) problem has long been a popular optimization question for construction engineering and management researchers. The problem manifests itself as the optimization of total costs of construction ...
On Momentum Transport and Dissipative Heating during Hurricane Landfalls
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omentum transport and dissipative heating are investigated using the high-resolution (10 Hz) wind data collected by Florida Coastal Monitoring Program portable weather stations in the surface layer of three landfalling ...
Wind Uplift Resistance of Artificially and Naturally Aged Asphalt Shingles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damage assessment surveys performed following the 2004 and 2008 hurricane seasons indicate that the vulnerability of shingle roofs to wind-induced damage increases with age. This paper presents two interrelated experiments ...
