Abstract: An automated procedure is used to evaluate objective criteria for the detection of observed tropical cyclones in high-resolution (1.125°) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts analyses. Best values of the ...

Abstract: A simple model is used to study the behavior of a lens-shaped eddy in a background flow with uniform horizontal and vertical shear. The primary motivation for the work is to understand the influence of large-scale shear ...

Abstract: An experiment is described in which the Andean topography in a general circulation model is replaced by an envelope topography and a new model climatology is produced. The resulting simulation is compared to the model ...

Abstract: Solutions to the classical Graetz slug flow problem (uniform velocity distribution) in noncircular ducts are examined. These solutions have applications where a constant uniform velocity distribution ...

Abstract: A study to determine what skills and traits make effective project managers was conducted. A questionnaire was developed and distributed across the country to office managers of an engineering organization involved in the ...

Abstract: Forensic evaluations of residential structures often make use of relative elevation surveys of the floor slab. The objective for the analysis of these data is to estimate the postconstruction distortions which have occurred ...

Abstract: The influence of a propagating discontinuity in the extrinsic body force and heat supply on the amplitude of induced shock and acceleration waves is studied. These waves are considered in the ...

Abstract: Objective streamline analyses and digitized high-resolution IR satellite cloud data have been used to examine in detail the changes in the environmental circulation and in the cloud structure that took place in and around ...
