Relationship between Solar Net Radiative Fluxes at the Top of the Atmosphere and at the Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous work has discussed the existence of a linear relationship between the net solar radiative flux densities at the surface and at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) that can be exploited for inferring the net surface ...
Discussion of “<i>Spreading Layer of a Two‐Dimensional Buoyant Jet</i>” by Roger B. Wallace and Steven J. Wright (June, 1984)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Friction Factor of Armored River Beds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Friction factors of armored river beds at the discharge that forms the armor coat are investigated. The analysis shows that the friction factor is rather independent of grain‐size distribution of the material forming the ...
Airborne Doppler Radar Analysis of a TOGA COARE Waterspout Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An airborne Doppler radar analysis of a waterspout parent storm is presented. An 8-min window centered around the time of the visual observation of the waterspout is presented. The waterspout was associated with a small, ...
Formation of the South Pacific Shallow Salinity Minimum: A Southern Ocean Pathway to the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the eastern South Pacific Ocean, at a depth of about 200 m, a salinity minimum is found. This minimum is associated with a particular water mass, the ?Shallow Salinity Minimum Water? (SSMW). SSMW outcrops in a fresh ...
Strong Turbulence in the Wave Crest Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution vertical velocity profiles in the surface layer of a lake reveal the turbulence structure beneath strongly forced waves. Dissipation rates of turbulence kinetic energy are estimated based on centered ...
Balanced Framework for Measuring Performance of Supply Chains in House Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite its importance, performance measurement of supply chains of house building firms has not received much attention yet in academic literature. The objective of this study is to develop a framework to measure this ...

Katabatic Flow: Analytic Solution for Gradually Varying Eddy Diffusivities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple form of the Prandtl model addressing pure katabatic flows is solved. The new analytic solution is valid for almost any assigned eddy diffusivity K(z) and constant Prandtl number. This model assumes a one-dimensional ...
