Abstract: AbstractThe link between cloud radiative forcing (CRF) and warm conveyor belts (WCBs), which are strongly ascending airstreams in extratropical cyclones, is investigated based on ERA-Interim reanalysis from 1979 to 2011. ...

Abstract: Theoretical and experimental investigations of the effect of weir submersion on the logarithmic discharge characteristic were performed. The problem was solved theoretically by accepting the simplifying assumption that the ...

Abstract: Basic equations for determining the cross‐section shape of the channel, in which the average flow velocity is a specified function of the head,

Abstract: A theoretical method is presented for determining the shape of a submerged weir notch with a specified discharge characteristic. This problem was solved for the combined profile of a weir notch, which is described with the ...

Abstract: The behavior of model single‐pitch screw anchor installed in dense sand subjected to hydrostatic pressure or upward seepage flow is presented. The experimental setup described in a companion paper was modified to allow ...

Abstract: Experimental and theoretical investigations on the behavior of single‐screw helical anchors in sand are presented. A testing program included 56 tests conducted on five model anchors installed in dense, medium, and loose ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of deepwater platforms can be improved by maximizing wave force cancellation at their natural frequencies of interest. This can be achieved by optimizing both the platform ...

Abstract: Geotechnical engineers face serious problems when building on collapsible soils. These types of soil show considerable strength when dry and experience excessive and sudden settlement when inundated. Due to the expansion ...
