Abstract: Warm rains at 62 stations in the northern hemisphere for a period of one year were examined geographically, seasonally and from other points of view by radiosonde data. The examination disclosed that warm rain fell more ...

Abstract: quaplanet simulations for a given sea surface temperature (SST) are conducted to elucidate possible roles of transient variability in the Hadley circulation and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Their roles are ...

Abstract: he relationship between the interannual variations of the activity of convectively coupled equatorial waves and seasonal mean precipitation in the tropical western to central Pacific Ocean is investigated. It is found that ...

Abstract: It is shown that planetary-scale waves are inherently accompanied by latitudinal momentum transport when they propagate vertically in vertically sheared zonal flows. Because of the dependence of the wave's latitudinal scale ...

Abstract: Characteristics of 51 severe typhoons hitting the Japanese main islands with central pressure equal to or less than 980 hPa during the period 1955?94 were analyzed by an objective method using hourly station observation ...

Abstract: When a strong earthquake occurs, many buildings are destroyed. For the inhabitants of such buildings, having sufficient time to take refuge is critical. This study presents the basic concept ...

Abstract: Satellite-derived brightness temperature has been used to estimate tropical precipitation. Ricciardulli and Garcia applied it to quantify forcing of atmospheric waves that are excited by tropical cumulus convection and ...

Abstract: Many observations have been made of size distributions of raindrops, aggregated snowflakes, graupel and hailstones under various meteorological conditions. The size distributions have been studied in conjunction with upper ...

Abstract: A high-speed electric motor with a small reducer that has high-power transmission efficiency can be used to realize a high-power-density powertrain system because electric motors can be miniaturized to increase the rotational ...
