Abstract: During recent years, the rapidly warming Arctic and its impact on winter weather and climate variability in the mid- and low latitudes have been the focus of many research efforts. In contrast, anomalous cool Arctic summers ...

Abstract: AbstractThrough both observational analyses and simulation experiments, this study investigates the intraseasonal evolution of atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with a persistent cold event in the Asian continent ...

Abstract: The comparative ability of four soil wetness indices to normalize soil moisture dependence of rootzone fluxes across a range of sites in Illinois is investigated. The soil wetness indices examined are various transformations ...

Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) of substrates and proppants into contaminated soils is a developing, but understudied, practice of stimulating in situ bioremediation. In this work, three different purities of the substrate ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of an in-service performance evaluation of the bullnose median barrier used in the state of Iowa. The data were collected in a four-county portion of Iowa during a 24-month data collection effort ...

Abstract: The effect of the inclusion of the horizontal gradients of background density and baroclinic flow on the propagation of linear internal gravity wave packets across the flow is investigated using ray-tracing techniques. The ...

Abstract: Sportsrelated concussions are of significant concern in many impact sports, and their detection relies on accurate measurements of the head kinematics during impact. Among the most prevalent recording technologies are ...

Abstract: Meridonal moisture transport into the Arctic derived from one simulation of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate System Model (CCSM3), spanning the periods of 1960?99, 2010?30, and 2070?89, is ...
