Abstract: The ratio of ultimate undrained residual strength to consolidation pressure for San Francisco Bay mud is a constant in the manner that the ratio of peak undrained strength to consolidation pressure is a constant. Laboratory ...

Abstract: A theory is developed for the 24-hr component of the diurnal pressure oscillation and compared with observations on Haleakala Mountain, Hawaii. Using the linearized hydrodynamic equations, the theory for flow over an ...

Abstract: Critical performance ratio (CPR) expressions for the eight conditional probabilities associated with the 2 ? 2 contingency table of outcomes for binary (dichotomous ?yes? or ?no?) forecasts are derived. Two are shown to ...

Abstract: The stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in zonal wind, temperature and column ozone has been successfully modeled in a two-dimensional dynamical/chemical model by the introduction of a parameterization scheme ...

Abstract: A recent eruption of Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii is examined via photographs from both geostationary and polar orbiting satellites. The meteorological effects of the volcanic effluent cloud on the state of ...

Abstract: A fair comparison of quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) products from multiple forecast sources using performance metrics based on a 2 ? 2 contingency table with assessment of statistical significance of differences ...

Abstract: A system of cables supported by linear elastic springs and subjected to a concentrated static load is investigated. A method to determine tensions in individual cables and the location in space of the system under load is ...

Abstract: The study reported here asks whether the use of probabilistic information indicating forecast uncertainty improves the quality of deterministic weather decisions. Participants made realistic wind speed forecasts based on ...

Abstract: A diagnostic study is conducted of the kinematics and evolution of upper-level jet streaks representative of three (of the four) phases in the Shapiro conceptual model of a jet streak progressing through a synoptic-scale ...
