RISMonthly Average Temperature Modeling in an Intertropical Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata for this research come from time series of monthly average temperatures from 28 sites over the Valle del Cauca of Colombia in South America, collected over the period 1971?2002. Because of the geographical location of ...
Maximum Wave Height Distribution in a Sea State: Effects of Record Length and Spectral Peakedness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The probability distribution of the maximum wave height in a sea state is examined in terms of the spectral peakedness and the sea state duration. The study is based on the analysis of ...
Wave Period Distribution in Mixed Sea-States
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The statistical distribution of zero up-crossing wave periods in Gaussian mixed sea-states is examined by using numerically simulated data. Nine different kinds of bimodal spectra are used to ...
A Real-Data Numerical Study of the Development of Precipitation along the Edge of an Elevated Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An 18-h numerical simulation of the weather associated with the severe-storm outbreak in the region of the Texas-Oklahoma panhandles, during the AVE-SESAME IV study period (9?10 May 1979), was performed using the Pennsylvania ...
Long-Term Average Vertical Motions Observed by VHF Wind Profilers: The Effect of Slight Antenna-Pointing Inaccuracies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper shows that a very slight tilt of the vertically directed antenna beam of a VHF wind profiler can produce a measurable change in the observed long-term averaged ?vertical? velocity profiles. The results are based ...
A Comparison of Simple and Complex Treatments of Surface Hydrology and Thermodynamics Suitable for Mesoscale Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Alternative treatments of the hydrologic and thermodynamic processes at the earth's surface within a mesoscale model are discussed in this study. Specifically, the question of under what circumstances it is necessary to ...
NDT Documentation and Evaluation of the Roman Bridge of Lugo Using GPR and Mobile and Static LiDAR
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Roman Bridge of Lugo (Spain) has undergone many restorations throughout the last millennium. It currently supports heavy and constant pressures resulting from traffic loading. Therefore, frequent inspections are required. ...
Analysis of Recurrent Defects in the Execution of Ceramic-Coatings Cladding in Building Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents a series of results that emerged from the implementation of the first phase of a Continuous Improvement study applied to a particular housing construction project. As a result of the study, it was ...
Ancient Stone Bridge Surveying by Ground-Penetrating Radar and Numerical Modeling Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridges are considered necessary engineering structures because they connect separated lands to improve economic and social development. In Spain, many of the bridges in service within the network of transport are masonry ...
Wave Height Distribution in Mixed Sea States
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The statistical distribution of zero-crossing wave heights in Gaussian mixed sea states is examined by analyzing numerically simulated data. Nine different kinds of bimodal scalar spectra are ...
