RISCentrifuge Modeling of Soil-Structure Interaction in Energy Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a centrifuge modeling approach to characterize the transient thermomechanical response of energy foundations during heating-cooling cycles to provide data for calibration and validation of soil-structure ...
Analysis of the Ross Ice Shelf Airstream Forcing Mechanisms Using Self-Organizing Maps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Ross Ice Shelf airstream (RAS), a prominent transport mechanism of cold, continental air to the north, is the most common wind pattern over the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The forcing mechanisms of the RAS include ...
Identification of Surface Wind Patterns over the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, Using Self-Organizing Maps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he interaction of synoptic and mesoscale circulations with the steep topography surrounding the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, greatly influences the wind patterns in the region of the Ross Ice Shelf. The topography provides ...
Thermal Energy Storage Heat Exchanger Design: Overcoming Low Thermal Conductivity Limitations of Phase-Change Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, there has been a renewed interest in solid-to-liquid phase-change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage (TES) solutions in response to ambitious decarbonization goals. While PCMs have very high thermal ...
A Weather-Pattern-Based Approach to Evaluate the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) Forecasts: Comparison to Automatic Weather Station Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ypical model evaluation strategies evaluate models over large periods of time (months, seasons, years, etc.) or for single case studies such as severe storms or other events of interest. The weather-pattern-based model ...
Dark Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s the Arctic sea ice thins and ultimately disappears in a warming climate, its insulating power decreases. This causes the surface air temperature to approach the temperature of the relatively warm ocean water below the ...
Increasing the Diversity of Your Graduate Program: Translating Best Practices into Success
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: espite awareness in the geosciences that our field has a substantial lack of diversity in our workforce and student body, and countless efforts to broaden participation, graduate enrollment in the atmospheric sciences by ...
Case Study of a Barrier Wind Corner Jet off the Coast of the Prince Olav Mountains, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Ross Ice Shelf airstream (RAS) is a barrier parallel flow along the base of the Transantarctic Mountains. Previous research has hypothesized that a combination of katabatic flow, barrier winds, and mesoscale and ...
A Self-Organizing-Map-Based Evaluation of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System Using Observations from a 30-m Instrumented Tower on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate representation of the stability of the surface layer in numerical weather prediction models is important because of the impact it has on forecasts of surface energy, moisture, and momentum fluxes. It also impacts ...
Robust Multivariate Outlier Detection Methods for Environmental Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Outliers are an inevitable concern that needs to be identified and dealt with whenever one analyzes a large data set. Today’s water quality data are often collected on different scales, encompass several sites, monitor ...
