Determination of U, V, and W from single station Doppler radar radial velocities [PDF]

, 1986
The ST/MST (stratosphere troposphere/mesosphere stratosphere troposphere) clear air Doppler radar, or wind profiler, is an important tool in observational meteorology because of its capability to remote observe dynamic parameters of the atmosphere. There

Geodesic Transport Barriers in Jupiter's Atmosphere: A Video-Based Analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Jupiter's zonal jets and Great Red Spot are well known from still images. Yet the planet's atmosphere is highly unsteady, which suggests that the actual material transport barriers delineating its main features should be time-dependent.

Sidelining Mitigation: Climate Delay Discourses Among Municipal Legislators in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how municipal legislators frame climate mitigation and how these framings shift responsibility, narrow the perceived scope of municipal authority, and reduce the urgency or feasibility of local action. We analyzed 31 interviews with city councilors serving on Permanent Environmental Committees across municipalities in ...

The Caspian Sea level forced by the atmospheric circulation, as observed and modelled [PDF]

, 2007
The Caspian Sea Level (CSL) has experienced large fluctuations with wide-reaching impacts on the population on the coastal regions and on the economy. The CSL variability is dominated by the variability of precipitation over the Volga River basin.

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

A frequency-based approach to improve the geometric accuracy of FY4B/AGRI geostationary satellite observations

Science of Remote Sensing
The Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) onboard the FengYun-4B (FY4B) satellite—a new-generation geostationary (GEO) platform—offers spatial and radiometric resolutions comparable to those of polar-orbiting satellites such as EOS-MODIS, but ...

Impaction of spray droplets on leaves: influence of formulation and leaf character on shatter, bounce and adhesion [PDF]

, 2015
This paper combines experimental data with simple mathematical models to investigate the influence of spray formulation type and leaf character (wettability) on shatter, bounce and adhesion of droplets impacting with cotton, rice and wheat leaves ...

Numerical Simulation of Baroclinic Jovian Vortices [PDF]

, 1994
We examine the evolution of baroclinic vortices in a time-dependent, nonlinear numerical model of a Jovian atmosphere. The model uses a normal-mode expansion in the vertical, using the barotropic and first two baroclinic modes.

Electricity Price Prediction Using Multikernel Gaussian Process Regression Combined With Kernel‐Based Support Vector Regression

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a new hybrid model for predicting German electricity prices. The algorithm is based on a combination of Gaussian process regression (GPR) and support vector regression (SVR). Although GPR is a competent model for learning stochastic patterns within data and for interpolation, its performance for out‐of‐sample data is not ...
