Abstract: The winters of 1976?77 and 1977?78 were severe by virtually any standard. In this study, heating degree day (NDD) accumulations for these two winters as well as for the 1941?70 normals are examined at 31 National Weather ...

Abstract: The spectral response of the Barnes objective analysis scheme near data boundaries is the focus of this note. First of all, a modification of the results presented by Achtemeier is described. In order for the weighted sum ...

Abstract: Difficulty analyzing mesoscale features in California and Nevada for a 1991 case study prompted a review of techniques for sea level pressure (SLP) reduction and an evaluation of the performance of the various techniques ...

Abstract: Mitigation of liquefaction potential in loose granular soil can theoretically be achieved through permeation and subsequent gelation of dilute colloidal silica stabilizer. However, practical application of this technique ...

Abstract: This paper examines the response of the Barnes objective analysis scheme as a function of wavenumber or wavelength and extends previous work in two primary areas. First, the first- and second-pass theoretical response ...

Abstract: Passive site stabilization is a new technology proposed for nondisruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction. It is based on the concept of slowly injecting colloidal silica at ...

Abstract: The analytical model of a mechanism for regulating the thermally induced axial force and displacement in a fixed–fixed microbeam is presented in this article. The mechanism which consists of a set of parallel chevron beams ...
