Abstract: The dynamics responsible for the mixing and dissolution of the polar vortex during final stratospheric warmings is investigated. A GCM and an associated offline N2O transport model are used to simulate the dynamics and ...

Abstract: For many years, major bridges have been built without the designers having any specific basis for the traffic loads used in the design. Traffic loads are compared between codes in the United Kingdom, which has the longest ...

Abstract: The stability of a uniformly saturated cloud layer separated from an overlying nonturbulent unsaturated layer by a thin inversion is considered. The stability of the interface can be described by entraining a parcel of air ...

Abstract: Irrigation water‐management characteristics within the command area of an arranged‐demand irrigation canal were examined, including on‐farm scheduling practices. Supply/demand ratios were used as the key indicators for ...

Abstract: Complicated internal-wave patterns are revealed in Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) photographs of marine fog patches. Evidence for the reflection of atmospheric wave packets at water-land boundaries is contained in these ...

Abstract: There is a tendency for traffic loads to increase with the passage of time. It is not uncommon, therefore, for bridges to be strengthened and/or widened or sometimes to have lanes or even complete decks added. A few bridges ...

Abstract: Observations are presented that were made in the lower 2 m of the atmosphere and in the soil near the Cabauw mast in the Netherlands. The surroundings of the mast are horizontally homogeneous and the soil is covered with ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional model designed to study the formation, growth, and dissipation of radiation fog is described. The model is compared with detailed observations made at the 200-m tower at Cabauw in the Netherlands. This ...

Abstract: The reasons for the large-amplitude tidal motion observed in oceanic submarine canyons have been explored with a laboratory experiment. A barotropic tide was forced in a stratified tank, containing continental shelf-slope ...
