Abstract: Industrial prognostics focuses on utilizing degradation signals to forecast and continually update the residual useful life of complex engineering systems. However, existing prognostic models for systems with multiple ...

Abstract: A bogus data assimilation (BDA) scheme is presented and used to generate the initial structure of a tropical cyclone for hurricane prediction. It was tested on Hurricane Felix (1995) in the Atlantic Ocean during its mature ...

Abstract: To improve customer satisfaction and reduce operation costs, transit authorities have been striving to monitor transit service quality and identify the key factors to enhance it. The recent advent of passive data collection ...

Abstract: Statistical sensitivity analysis (SSA) is playing an increasingly important role in engineering design, especially with the consideration of uncertainty. However, it is not straightforward to apply ...

Abstract: A radiative transfer model was updated to better simulate Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I)?observed brightness temperatures in areas of high ice concentration. The difference between the lowest observed and ...

Abstract: quality control (QC) procedure for satellite radiance assimilation is proposed and applied to radiance observations from the Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) on board the first satellite of the Chinese polar-orbiting ...

Abstract: AbstractGlobal observations from the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership satellite are affected by striping-patterned noise. An optimal symmetric filter method ...

Abstract: AbstractA recently refined hurricane warm-core retrieval algorithm was applied to data from multiple polar-orbiting satellites that carry the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) and the Advanced Microwave Sounding ...
