Abstract: A detailed size calibration of the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) over the size ranges of interest to cloud physics (2?47 ?m), is presented. The calibration includes laboratory tests with glass spheres, Mie ...

Abstract: The development and testing of a field durable, infrared differential absorption hygrometer is described. This noncontact hygrometer offers reliable operation in harsh environments while maintaining subsecond response ...

Abstract: Forecasts of Alberta Clipper?type cyclones defined as cyclones that move southeastward from regions of western Canada into south-central Canada or the north-central United States before moving eastward to the coast of North ...

Abstract: A 10 cm radar was employed in an effort to measure the radar cross section of cloud-to-ground lightning channels and its temporal variation. A data acquisition system was developed which is capable of recording the amplitude ...

Abstract: Effective bracing systems for columns and beams exist in many forms, including point bracing and continuous bracing. Employing continuous bracing formulations for cases with point braces provides an attractive solution ...

Abstract: Cross frames and diaphragms are critical elements for the stability of I-shaped steel bridge girders during construction. The AASHTO specifications are relatively vague with regards to the stability design requirements of ...

Abstract: Narrow width I-girder systems with relatively long lengths are susceptible to global lateral-torsional buckling, which is a mode that is not generally sensitive to the spacing between cross frames or diaphragms. This ...

Abstract: Establishing the strength requirements for stability bracing generally requires large displacement analyses on imperfect systems. In computational studies on stability bracing, choosing the critical shape of the imperfection ...
