Abstract: This paper presents an efficient method for determining capsize risk for a given seaway and ship operational condition using time domain simulations. The risk of capsize during 1 h exposure ...

Abstract: The computation of hydrometeor sedimentation in one-moment, two-moment, and three-moment bulk microphysics parameterizations is examined in the context of a 1D model, with no other microphysical processes active. The ...

Abstract: Argo float profile data are used to analyze warm, salty, weakly stratified, subthermocline eddies of tropical origin in the eastern subtropical South Pacific Ocean. These eddies contain anomalous signatures of the equatorial ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model has been developed for the selection of a design iceberg collision with an offshore structure. The design event is selected on the basis of global sliding force, which is likely to determine whether ...

Abstract: Linear accelerator systems are described which allow the production of series of homogeneously sized water drops of different diameter and at terminal velocity, with small oscillations, negligible charges, and in air of ...

Abstract: The collision and subsequent breakup of water drops moving essentially vertically and at terminal velocity has been studied for five drop pairs: the diameters Ds of the large drops were 4.8, 3.6 and 3.0 mm; the diameters ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model is developed for the selection of a design iceberg collision event with a fixed offshore structure. The model has been formulated such that input parameters can be obtained ...

Abstract: urbulence in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) transports heat, momentum, and moisture in eddies that are not resolvable by current NWP systems. Numerical models typically parameterize this process using vertical diffusion ...

Abstract: he importance of stratospheric influences for medium-range numerical weather prediction (NWP) of the troposphere has led to increases in the heights of global model domains at operational centers around the world. Grids ...

Abstract: This study uses the Mesoscale Compressible Community model to simulate the extratropical transition and reintensification of Hurricane Earl (1998) for the purposes of testing sensitivity to modification of the model's ...
