Abstract: An observational data assimilation (ODA) technique was evaluated based on both its direct effect on meteorological model fields and its indirect effect on the results of two air quality models that input these meteorological ...

Abstract: he vast majority of lake-effect snow research throughout the years has focused on the North American Great Lakes since they are often associated with strong lake-effect events that produce heavy downstream snowfall. This ...

Abstract: ommonly observed over the broadly sloped terrain of the southern Great Plains (SGP), drylines are frequent loci of warm season deep convection and have been the focus of numerous observational, theoretical, and climatological ...

Abstract: The paper is based on the results of a detailed underwater survey conducted in 1989 on the United States Navy timber pier in upper San Francisco Bay. The survey was performed within the framework of the large multiyear ...

Abstract: A physics-based computer model has been developed to support the development of volatile extraction from the regolith of the Moon and asteroids. The model is based upon empirical data sets for extraterrestrial soils and ...

Abstract: Capacitive displacement sensors are widely used in precision manufacturing and metrology because they measure displacements with nanometer resolution. Prior literature usually treats capacitive sensors ...
