Feasibility study for estimating the offshore shear layer from on shore measurements [PDF]
, 2011 This paper presents an open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of air flow over a complex terrain. The open source C++ toolbox OpenFOAM has been used for the CFD analysis and the terrain considered is a scale model of Berlengas Island, which

A CFD technique for estimating the flow distortion effects on LiDAR measurements when made in complex flow fields [PDF]
, 2013 The effect of flow distortion on the measurements produced by a LiDAR or SoDAR in close proximity to either complex terrain or a structure creating localised flow distortion is difficult to determine by analytical means.

Exploring the possible role of small scale terrain drag on stable boundary layers over land [PDF]
, 2008 This paper addresses the possible role of unresolved terrain drag, relative to the turbulent drag on the development of the stable atmospheric boundary layer over land.

The Complexity of Guarding Terrains
CoRR, 2009 A set $G$ of points on a 1.5-dimensional terrain, also known as an $x$-monotone polygonal chain, is said to guard the terrain if any point on the terrain is 'seen' by a point in $G$. Two points on the terrain see each other if and only if the line segment between them is never strictly below the terrain.

Using acoustic sensor technologies to create a more terrain capable unmanned ground vehicle [PDF]
, 2009 Unmanned Ground Vehicle’s (UGV) have to cope with the most complex range of dynamic and variable obstacles and therefore need to be highly intelligent in order to cope with navigating in such a cluttered environment.

Distributed texture-based terrain synthesis [PDF]
, 2011 Terrain synthesis is an important field of Computer Graphics that deals with the generation of 3D landscape models for use in virtual environments. The field has evolved to a stage where large and even infinite landscapes can be generated in realtime ...

Performance of CMIP6 Models in Capturing Summer Maximum Temperature Variability over China
AtmospherePrevious research has primarily focused on assessing seasonal mean or annual extreme climate events, whereas intraseasonal variability in extreme climate has received comparatively little attention, despite its importance for understanding short-term ...
