Abstract: From the analysis of an extensive series of two-dimensional and three-dimensional hydraulic model tests on the overtopping response of various types of caisson breakwaters, general design formulas and graphs have been ...

Abstract: The usual criteria to fix minimum reinforcement in concrete structures require first, that the cross section of reinforcement be dimensioned so that the tensile stresses acting on the ``embedment section'' of concrete, ...

Abstract: The relationship between steady states of the large-scale flow regimes revealed by multimodality in phase space and quasi-resonant axes of a linearized atmospheric model (neutral vectors) is investigated by means of a ...

Abstract: The role of high-frequency transients in the maintenance of planetary-scale flow regimes is investigated using a generalization of the neutral vector approach developed by Marshall and Molteni. Given a nonlinear dynamical ...

Abstract: Local density measurements were performed in the internal structure of hailstones by means of photometric observations on x-ray micrographs of thin slices. Comparison with the results of measurements performed by the same ...

Abstract: reparing for future hydroclimatic variability greatly benefits from long (i.e., multicentury) records at seasonal to annual time steps that have been gridded at kilometer-scale spatial intervals over a geographic region. ...

Abstract: A membrane filter technique for precisely locating chlorides on any prepared ice surface has been tested on hailstone cross sections. Chloride patterns, different in intensity in the various growth stages of the hailstones, ...
