Abstract: The space program is aiming towards the permanent use of space; to build and establish an orbital space station, a Moon base and depart to Mars and beyond. We must look after the total independency from the Earth's natural ...

Abstract: A diffusion wave method for catchment dynamics is presented. The method has better convergence properties than kinematic wave models which use off‐centered derivatives in their numerical formulations. Unlike the off‐centered ...

Abstract: mechanism for the enhancement of the viscous dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the oceanic boundary layer (OBL) is proposed, based on insights gained from rapid-distortion theory (RDT). In this mechanism, ...

Abstract: The pioneering predictor of fluvial bed-load transport rate proposed by Meyer-Peter and Müller in 1948 is still extensively used in basic research and engineering applications. A review of the basis for its formulation ...

Abstract: A number of experiments have shown that UHF and VHF Doppler radars can make ?clear air? wind measurements in the troposphere and lower stratosphere, even in the presence of clouds and precipitation. Past comparisons of ...

Abstract: This study compares the generalized rainfall intensity-duration-frequency relationships proposed by Bell in 1969 with results obtained from data registered in different climatic regions of Argentina. The results show that ...
