RISEffects of Rotation on Convective Plumes from Line Segment Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Effects of rotation on finite-length line plumes are studied with a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic numerical model. Geophysical convection with this source geometry occurs, for example, as the result of fissure releases ...
A Numerical Study of Nonfrictional Decay of Mesoscale Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The decay of mesoscale eddies can be attributed to either frictional dissipation of kinetic energy through viscous effects or through dispersive spreading of the different constituent Rossby wave components at their own ...
Efficient Methodologies for Determining Temperature Dependent Parameters of a Ni Base Superalloy Crystal Viscoplasticity Model for Cyclic Loadings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The prediction of temperaturedependent fatigue deformation and damage in directionally solidified and singlecrystal nickelbase superalloy components used in the hot section of gas turbine engines requires a constitutive ...
Random-Walk Simulation of Gradient-Transfer Processes Applied to Dispersion of Stack Emission from Coal-Fired Power Plants
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical solution to the three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation is developed and applied to the dispersion of power plant stack contaminants throughout the boundary layer. The method employs Lagrangian marker ...
Correcting Active Scatterometer Data for the Effects of Rain Using Passive Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for the effects of rain on scatterometer data is proposed. Data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and the SeaWinds scatterometer, both on the Midori-II satellite, are used. The model includes ...
A Novel Method for Calibrating the ATSR-2 1.6-μm Channel Using Simultaneous Measurements Made in the 3.7-μm Channel in Sun Glint
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reflection of the sun?s radiation from the sea surface can give rise to abnormally high brightness temperatures in the 3.7-?m channel of the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR-2). Using a radiative transfer model, this ...
SUMMER CONVECTIVE CELL RADAR PATTERNS OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies of convective activity over northern and central California were based on data from scattered weather reporting stations. Radar, however, by maintaining a large area under constant surveillance, displays ...
Performance Analysis and Detailed Experimental Results of the First Liquid Air Energy Storage Plant in the World
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a technology for bulk electricity storage in the form of liquid air with power output potentially above 10 MW and storage capacity of 100 s MWh. In this paper, we address the performance ...
