RISAn Approximate Theory for Developing Turbulent Free Shear Layers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The development of a two-dimensional, free turbulent shear layer from an arbitrary initial velocity profile is analyzed theoretically. Included in the analysis are effects of both compressibility ...
Assessing the Influence of Fourier Analysis Parameters on Short-Time Modal Parameter Extraction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is sometimes necessary to determine the manner in which materials and structures deteriorate with respect to time when subjected to sustained random dynamic loads. In such cases a system’s ...
Experimental Investigations of Ice in Supercooled Clouds. Part II: Scavenging of an Insoluble Aerosol
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental study of aerosol scavenging by ice growing in supercooled clouds was conducted with a continuous flow cloud chamber. Techniques for detecting insoluble (latex) submicron particles in individual ice crystals ...
An Attempt to Address the Question, “Are Weather patterns Changing?” for a Nonspecialist Audience
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is derived from an address at an Illinois agricultural conference an the specified topic, ?Are weather patterns changing?? It examines three contrasting perspectives on the weather and climate of the recent past ...
On the Development of Regional Climatic Scenarios for Policy-Oriented Climatic-Impact Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review on the development of climatic scenarios related to policy-oriented assessment of the impact of climatic variations is presented. It seeks to provide background information needed to evaluate the extent to which ...
Case Studies of Tropical Atlantic Surface Circulation Patterns During Recent Sub-Saharan Weather Anomalies: 1967 and 1968
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sub-Saharan West Africa (10?20°N) receives moisture from the tropical Atlantic via low-level south-westerly flow across the southwestern coast of West Africa. This paper utilizes a 1arge data set to identify the tropical ...
Some Aspects of Circulation and Climate over the Eastern Equatorial Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The South Atlantic trades cross the equator at the height of northern summer, recurving from south-easterly to southwesterly near 5°N, and undercut the northeast trades along an extended discontinuity. The negative surface ...
Effect of Authoritative Information and Message Characteristics on Evacuation and Shadow Evacuation in a Simulated Flood Event
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing shadow evacuation. A mock television evacuation order was used to experimentally manipulate the presenter level of authority and message script. The dependent measures were the ...
Comparison of Results from a Meandering-Plume Model with Measured Atmospheric Tracer Concentration Fluctuations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measured wind-azimuth data are used in a simple meandering-plume model to predict observed SF6 concentration fluctuations measured downwind of a point source during a range of stability conditions. The meander component ...
