Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model is described. The variation through the depth of the dependent variables, other than the sea surface elevation, is expressed in terms of an arbitrary set of basis functions, giving a ...

Abstract: ome previous studies were unable to detect seasonal organization to the rainfall in the Sahara Desert, while others reported seasonal patterns only in the less-arid periphery of the Sahara. In contrast, the precipitation ...

Abstract: A series of five large scale clay brick masonry structural walls are subjected to in-plane simulated seismic forces. The walls utilize posttensioning steel to provide flexural strength. The primary objective of the research ...

Abstract: Far from continents, a few storms lift precipitation-size ice particles into the stratosphere, 17 to 18 km above the tropical ocean. This study is the first to examine the observed properties of a large sample of these ...
