RISDownscaling Ensemble Weather Predictions for Improved Week-2 Hydrologic Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the use of large-scale ensemble weather predictions provided by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System [GFS; formerly known as Medium-Range Forecast (MRF)] ...
Prediction Model for the Saturated Permeability Coefficient of Compacted Bentonite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Bentonite is unanimously recognized by the international community as the ideal buffer/backfill
material in deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. The low
permeability of compacted bentonite ...
A Project Scheduling Optimization Model for Reducing Construction Dust Emissions Based on Variability in Meteorological Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractDust emissions from construction activities are one of the main sources of atmospheric
particulate pollution, which can pose serious health risks and environmental impacts.
Meteorological conditions such as wind ...
Distributions of Raindrop Sizes and Fall Velocities in a Semiarid Plateau Climate: Convective versus Stratiform Rains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Joint size and fall velocity distributions of raindrops were measured with a Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) precipitation particle disdrometer in a field experiment conducted during July and August 2007 at a semiarid ...
Quantitative Characterization Method for the Microcontacts and Macrocontacts of Two-Dimensional Granular Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article puts forward a quantified characterization method of micro- and macrocontacts of granular materials. The microcontact is defined as the contact surface with two voids in its two ends. The macrocontact is defined ...
