RISA Preliminary Survey of Clear-Air Echo Appearances over the Kanto Plain in Japan from July to December 1997
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A preliminary survey of clear-air echo appearances over the Kanto plain in Japan from July to December 1997 is presented. A distinct contrast was seen between clear-air echoes observed over land and their absence over the ...
Are CMIP5 Models Better than CMIP3 Models in Simulating Precipitation over East Asia?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he performance of climate models participating in phases 5 and 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5 and CMIP3, respectively) is evaluated and compared with respect to precipitation over East Asia (20°?50°N, ...
Relative Seismic Risk Evaluation of Various Buildings Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seismic responses of various buildings are calculated by a three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining the soil-building interaction based on an input seismic wave field in the reclaimed zone of Tokyo Bay in which ...
Countercurrent Flow Limitation in Slightly Inclined Pipes With Elbows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Onedimensional (1D) sensitivity computations were carried out for air–water countercurrent flows in a 1/15scale model of the hot leg and a 1/10scale model of the pressurizer surge line in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) ...
Prediction Method of Countercurrent Flow Limitation in a Pressurizer Surge Line and Its Evaluation for a 1/10 Scale Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The method for predicting countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) and its uncertainty in an actual pressurizer surge line of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) using 1/10scale air–water experimental data, onedimensional ...
Seismic Responses of Two RC Buildings and One Wood Building Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recently proposed three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining soil-building interactions based on an input seismic wave field is, after some improvements, applied to estimate seismic building responses in the ...
Correlation of Interfacial Friction Coefficients for Predicting Countercurrent Flow Limitation at a Sharp-Edged Lower End of Vertical Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One-region (1-R) sensitivity computations with the annular-flow model were carried out for countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) at a sharp-edged lower end in vertical pipes to generalize the prediction method for CCFL ...
High-Speed Volumetric Observation of a Wet Microburst Using X-Band Phased Array Weather Radar in Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper reports a high-speed volumetric observation of a wet microburst event using X-band phased array weather radar (PAWR) in Japan. On 10 September 2014, PAWR observed the three-dimensional structure of a convection ...
The Characteristics and Evolution of Orographic Snow Clouds under Weak Cold Advection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 25 February 1999, on the western side of the central mountain range of Japan, orographic snow clouds had formed under conditions of weak cold advection due to a winter monsoon after a cyclonic storm. The data from Ka-band ...
Shake-Table Tests of a Pile-Supported Low-Rise Reinforced Concrete Building Designed to Japanese Building Standards
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In Japanese engineering practice, pile foundations are designed to lower base shear demands below that considered in the superstructure’s design. In recent earthquakes, such buildings incurred significant pile damage even ...
