RISUrbanization Effect on Trends of Extreme Temperature Indices of National Stations over Mainland China, 1961–2008
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding the long-term change of extreme temperature events is important to the detection and attribution of climate change. It is unclear, however, how much effect urbanization has had on trends of the extreme temperature ...
A Remote-Sensing Method of Selecting Reference Stations for Evaluating Urbanization Effect on Surface Air Temperature Trends
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the global lands, the bias of urbanization effects still exits in the surface air temperature series of many city weather stations to a certain extent. Reliable reference climate stations need to be selected for the ...
Sea-Effect Precipitation over the Shandong Peninsula, Northern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSea-effect precipitation (SEP) over the Shandong Peninsula is a unique climatological phenomenon in mainland China, and it exerts a considerable impact on the southern shore of the Bohai Sea. From observed data ...
Verification of a Cohesive Zone Model for Ductile Fracture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present paper, ductile crack growth in an aluminium alloy is numerically simulated using a cohesive zone model under both plane stress and plane strain conditions for two different ...
Evidence for a Strong Association of Short-Duration Intense Rainfall with Urbanization in the Beijing Urban Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCorrelations of the urban heat island intensity (UHII) and key surface variables with the short-duration intense rainfall (SDIR) events are examined for the Beijing urban areas by applying hourly data of a high-density ...
Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Beijing Urban Heat Island Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n hourly dataset of automatic weather stations over Beijing Municipality in China is developed and is employed to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of urban heat island intensity (UHII) over the built-up ...
Temporal–Spatial Patterns of Relative Humidity and the Urban Dryness Island Effect in Beijing City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHourly datasets obtained by automatic weather stations in Beijing, China, are developed and employed to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of relative humidity (RH) and urban dryness island intensity ...
Influence of Proximity of the Seabed on Hydrodynamic Forces on a Submarine Piggyback Pipeline Under Wave Action
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental investigations were mainly carried out to clarify the influence of the seabed proximity on hydrodynamic forces on a submarine piggyback pipeline under regular and irregular wave action. Nondimensional force ...
Hydrodynamic Forces on a Large Pipeline and a Small Pipeline in Piggyback Configuration under Wave Action
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experiments on a large pipeline and a small pipeline in a piggyback configuration under regular and irregular waves are carried out. A comparison of the wave forces on the large pipeline and the small pipeline is made. The ...
Effects of Frozen Soil on Snowmelt Runoff and Soil Water Storage at a Continental Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The presence of ice in soil dramatically alters soil hydrologic and thermal properties. Despite this important role, many recent studies show that explicitly including the hydrologic effects of soil ice in land surface ...
