RISA Dynamic Model for Ice-Induced Vibration of Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dynamic model for the ice-induced vibration (IIV) of structures is developed in the present study. Ice properties have been taken into account, such as the discrete failure, the dependence ...
Westward-Propagating Synoptic-Scale Disturbances and the ITCZ
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In an attempt to understand the dynamics of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), this study explores the extent to which the ITCZ is causally related to zonally propagating synoptic-scale disturbances. The ITCZ, ...
A Spectrum Analysis of Synoptic-Scale Disturbances in the ITCZ
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spectral characteristics of convective signals in synoptic-scale disturbances along the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) are examined using a 20-yr daily outgoing longwave radiation dataset. A new analysis method, ...
Tearing Property and Allowable Tearing Stress of PVC-Coated Polyester Fabric Membranes at High Temperature
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: PVC-coated polyester fabric is a widely used building material whose tearing strength is much lower than its tensile strength. Extreme loads such as fire, unexpected winds, or hail may cause cracks in the membrane. The ...
Seasonal Evolution and Variability Associated with the West African Monsoon System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the seasonal variations in surface rainfall and associated large-scale processes in the tropical eastern Atlantic and West African region are investigated. The 6-yr (1998?2003) high-quality Tropical Rainfall ...
Precipitation and Temperature Variations on the Interannual Time Scale: Assessing the Impact of ENSO and Volcanic Eruptions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effects of ENSO and two large tropical volcanic eruptions (El Chichón, March 1982; Mt. Pinatubo, June 1991) are examined for the period of 1979?2008 using various satellite- and station-based observations of precipitation, ...
Spatial Patterns of Global Precipitation Change and Variability during 1901–2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines global precipitation changes/variations during 1901?2010 by using the long-record GPCC land precipitation analysis, the NOAA/Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS) reconstructed (RECONS) ...
Precipitation Intensity Changes in the Tropics from Observations and Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTropical (30°N?30°S) interdecadal precipitation changes and trends are explored for the satellite era using GPCP monthly analyses and CMIP5 outputs and focusing on precipitation intensity distributions represented ...
Pretreatment by Fenton Oxidation of an Amoxillin Wastewater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Relatively few reported works have dealt with wastewaters arising from amoxillin manufacture. To develop a treatment process for one such wastewater, several physicochemical methods such as coagulation, ultrafiltration, ...
Performance Analysis of 15 kW Closed Cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion System With Different Working Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Closed cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (CCOTEC) is a way to generate electricity by the sea water temperature difference from the upper surface to the different depth. This paper presents the performance of a 15 kW ...
