Abstract: re there important differences between reanalysis data and familiar observations and measurements? If so, what are they? This essay evaluates four possible answers that relate to: the role of inference, reliance on forecasts, ...

Abstract: This study analyzes two of the many convergent windshift lines that occurred during the Convection Initiation Project in eastern Colorado during the summer of 1984. The coincidence of these boundaries with the initiation ...

Abstract: Ocean temperature and salinity data over the period 1950?2000 in the Northern Seas, defined here as the North Atlantic Ocean (north of 50°N), North Pacific Ocean (north of 40°N), and Arctic Oceans, are combined to diagnose ...

Abstract: Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a common hazard along artificial levees in the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV). This study applies an empirical assessment of overbank deposit thickness, also referred to as blanket thickness, ...

Abstract: Turbulent shear flows at supersonic and hypersonic speeds around a nozzle-afterbody are simulated. The three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite-volume and ...

Abstract: Values of mountain pressure torque are calculated for the Rocky and Andes Mountains and for the Tibetan Plateau in order to evaluate their conuibufion to the observed anomalous length-of-day (LOD) and atmospheric angular ...

Abstract: The effect of replacing cement by pozzolanic materials was investigated. This was done by a systematic increase in pozzolanic material inclusion, and was evaluated using the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test. The materials ...

Abstract: The funding needed to address aging water infrastructure ranges in the hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 25 years, and at current replacement rates, pipes are being expected to last for 200 years, although pipes ...
