Abstract: A general method of objective tropical cyclone guidance is proposed in which the forecast variables are categories of tropical cyclone motion. Using this approach, information on more than one scenario is presented, a ...

Abstract: This article provides an empirical basis for understanding the Obama administration’s resilience policy mandates and measures in the United States. Specifically, this article seeks to evaluate two propositions. The first ...

Abstract: The Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) Numerical Variational Analysis (NVA) has been used to develop statistical?synoptic tropical cyclone forecast schemes for the Southern Hemisphere. Results, from a limited sample, ...

Abstract: Fluidized bed combustion in industrial applications offers many advantages from the resource utilization and the air quality points of view. A cash flow model is developed to predict the economic consequences of an investment ...

Abstract: An equation of state and expressions for enthalpy and entropy are presented for water in the region of maximum density (from freezing to about 30 deg C for pressures up to about 2500 bars). ...

Abstract: The definitions employed in classical thermodynamics are revised and a single axiom is stated from which all the relations of classical thermodynamics can be deduced. A detailed discussion of ...

Abstract: Polarimetric radar data have been used to produce microphysical classifications. This kind of analysis is run in a real-time mode from several research radars, including the C-band polarimetric (C-Pol) radar in Darwin, ...

Abstract: Observations undertaken on 12 January 1990 at Darwin, Australia (12°S, 130°E), are used to document the structure of a monsoonal rainband in a low-CAPE, low-shear tropical environment. Dual-Doppler radar analyses are ...
