Abstract: The relationship between relative humidity and low cloud cover produced by a prognostic cloud fraction formulation is compared with observations. From a steady-state version of the prognostic cloud fraction equation, a ...

Abstract: The limitation on the top velocity of high-speed trains concerns the ability to supply the proper amount of energy required to run the engines through the catenary-pantograph interface. Due to ...

Abstract: The subgrid-scale variability of the liquid water path (LWP) of marine boundary layer clouds in areas that correspond to the typical grid size of large-scale (global climate and weather prediction) atmospheric models (200 ...

Abstract: athematical forms of probability density functions (PDFs) of liquid water path (LWP) and total water content for marine boundary layer clouds are investigated using the homogeneity, skewness, and kurtosis of PDFs of LWP ...

Abstract: ir advected equatorward by the trade winds off the coast of California is associated with decreasing cloud cover and is subjected to increasingly warmer sea surface temperatures. These gradients imply large gradients in ...

Abstract: In Portugal, as in many other countries, due to the economic crisis, the trend of budgetary pressures on highway agencies is increasing. At the same time, road users are increasingly demanding in terms of highway quality, ...

Abstract: Using dynamical systems techniques, a new algorithm to direct the trajectory of gliders to a preassigned target point is proposed. The algorithm is applicable to any unpowered lift-enabled vehicle (glider) traveling in ...
