RISWhat Controls Evapotranspiration in the Amazon Basin?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global climate models (GCMs) and regional climate models (RCMs) generally show a decrease in the dry season evapotranspiration (ET) rate over the entire Amazon basin. Based on anecdotal observations, it has been suggested ...
On the Relationship between ENSO, Stratospheric Sudden Warmings, and Blocking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper examines the influence of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on different aspects of major stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs), focusing on the precursor role of blocking events. The results reveal an ENSO ...
Effects of Double Diffusion and Turbulence on Interleaving at Baroclinic Oceanic Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Treating the problem of interleaving in ocean fronts, a linear stability analysis is applied to a thermohaline, baroclinic front in which the vertical diffusivity for mass and momentum is determined by both the double ...
Deflections of A Multipass Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Bolted Joint Subjected to Nonaxisymmetric Thermal Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite the fact that multipass shell-and-tube heat exchangers operating at high temperature are subject to frequent problems related to flange sealing, there is neither detailed explanations for ...
Inspection and Defect Diagnosis System for Natural Stone Cladding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An inspection and diagnosis support system is proposed for natural stone cladding (NSC) on walls and pavements in order to systemize inspections and make them more objective. The inclusion of this system in a maintenance ...
Wave Forcing of the Tropical Upwelling in the Lower Stratosphere under Increasing Concentrations of Greenhouse Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two simulations from the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, covering the periods 1950?2003 and 1980?2050, are used to investigate the nature of the waves that force the increase of the tropical upwelling in the lower ...
Metabolism of Neighborhoods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analysis of urban metabolism has been established as an appropriate approach for assessing the sustainability of cities. A desirable next step is to use the metabolism as a guide to
Driving Forces of Interleaving in the Baroclinic Front at the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The different types of instability in the equatorial ?-plane approximation are analyzed by means of a 2D linear stability problem. The double-diffusive (DD) and diffusive/baroclinic (2D baroclinic and McIntyre) instabilities ...
Data-Driven Analysis of Climate Change in Saudi Arabia: Trends in Temperature Extremes and Human Comfort Indicators

Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Global Hydroclimate: A Multimodel Ensemble Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two multimodel ensembles (MME) were produced with the GISS Model II (GM II), the GISS Atmosphere Model (AM), and the NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM) to evaluate the effects of tropical deforestation on the global ...
