RISUsing an AGCM to Diagnose Historical Effective Radiative Forcing and Mechanisms of Recent Decadal Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n atmospheric general circulation model is forced with observed monthly sea surface temperature and sea ice boundary conditions, as well as forcing agents that vary in time, for the period 1979?2008. The simulations are ...
Quantification of Uncertainty in Structural Dynamic Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural dynamic models are used to simulate the performance of structures in a dynamic environment. The predictive accuracy of a model has been defined as the accuracy of predicted structural response under conditions ...
Important Factors in the Tracking of Tropical Cyclones in Operational Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
On the Role of the Kelvin Wave in the Westerly Phase of the Semiannual Zonal Wind Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of the Kelvin wave, discovered by Hirota (1978), in producing the westerly accelerations of the semiannual zonal wind oscillation in the tropical upper stratosphere is examined quantitatively. It is shown that, ...
On the Mean Meridional Mass Motions of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a simplified, approximate ?Lagrangian-mean? dynamical formulation, the mean meridional mass circulation of the stratosphere and mesosphere is discussed. Under solstice conditions, it is shown that this Lagrangian-mean ...
Accurate Thermal Diffusivity Measurements Using a Modified Ångström's Method With Bayesian Statistics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work reports a custom instrument that employs a modified Ångström's method to measure the thermal diffusivity of foil-like materials in which heat propagates in one dimension. This method does not require a semi-infinite ...
Effect of Nonlinear Instability on Gravity-Wave Momentum Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal gravity waves, and the stress divergence and turbulence induced by them, are essential components of the atmospheric and oceanic general circulations. Theoretical studies have not yet reached a consensus as to how ...
Moisture Absorption Analysis of Interfacial Fracture Test Specimens Composed of No-Flow Underfill Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a previous study, we found that moisture preconditioning strongly influenced the interfacial fracture toughness of the underfill/solder mask interface, decreasing the interfacial adhesion by ...
Is Architectural Pedagogy Prepared for Buildings of the Future?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Assuming that buildings in our near future can achieve carbon neutrality, what next? More importantly, what is necessary in the short term to transform the way we design and think about buildings to achieve carbon neutrality ...
Nonlinear Hadley Circulation Driven by Asymmetric Differential Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamical state of the stratosphere influenced by radiative heating, with no internal sources or sinks of angular momentum, is examined. It is shown that there exists a nonlinear Hadley regime driven by antisymmetric ...
