Abstract: The ray theory is applied to the stress-focusing effects in a uniformly heated solid sphere. The stress-focusing effect is the phenomenon that, under an instantaneous heating, stress waves ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with a method for calculating the dynamic stress distribution in a hollow sphere. Adopting the Goodier’s concept, the dynamic thermoelastic problem in a sphere is ...

Abstract: The mechanism by which the diurnal cycle of solar radiation modulates intraseasonal SST variability in the western Pacific warm pool is investigated using a one-dimensional mixed layer model. SSTs in the model experiments ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of our experiments on and theoretical predictions of the trajectories of multiple buoyant and nonbuoyant jets. Our theoretical calculations employed a finite ...

Abstract: Persistent stratus/stratocumulus cloud decks in the southeast Pacific near the coasts of Peru and northern Chile play an important role in regional and global climate variability. Interannual variability of the upper ocean ...

Abstract: An accurate and efficient finite‐element method for the analysis of reinforced‐concrete structures is presented. Not only mechanical problems but also heat‐conduction problems are targeted. Considering the fact that ...

Abstract: Rain rate estimation properties of multiparameter radar measurements combining radar reflectivity and microwave attenuations are studied through simulations using a two-year disdrometer dataset. In the first simulation, ...

Abstract: A method is studied to make a nonuniform beamfilling (NUBF) correction for the path-integrated attenuation (PIA) derived from spaceborne radar measurement. The key of this method is to estimate rain-rate variability within ...

Abstract: The relationship between atmospheric subseasonal variability and interannual variation of SST over the tropical Indian Ocean is examined using winds and humidity from the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis, outgoing longwave radiation ...
