Abstract: The observed performance of prototype unanchored cylindrical liquid storage tanks during four past major earthquakes as well as the performance of model cylindrical liquid storage tanks during simulated earthquake conditions ...

Abstract: The climatological occurrence of meteorological conditions associated with extensive and persistent arms of high air pollution potential over the western United States is presented. The most likely large-scale synoptic ...

Abstract: The three dimensional semigeostrophic equations are derived by a formal asymptotic analysis. The equations are scaled with typical values of the gradients across absolute momentum contours along isentropic surfaces and are ...

Abstract: A concept is presented wherein an elemental plan is comprised of seven distinct, but inseparable, dimensions. Various partial combinations of these dimensions are shown to connote familiar ...

Abstract: Mean radiosonde observations and normal maximum surface temperatures are used with the assumption of a dry adiabatic lapse rate to estimate monthly mean maximum mixing depths (MMD's) for 45 stations in the contiguous United ...

Abstract: Experimental results for flow in a 16.5% sloping channel over various kinds of submerged artificial large-scale roughness elements are presented. Eight different shapes of obstacles are tested, as follows: (1) standard ...

Abstract: This paper presents time cross-sections of vertical temperature structure during the 1966 Thanksgiving week air pollution episode in New York City, based on 6-hourly soundings at Kennedy Airport. The analyses depict numerous ...
