Anaerobic Corrosion Phenomena of Cast Iron and Copper in Artificial Groundwater at Elevated Temperature

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
This study examines corrosion of copper and cast iron as candidate canister materials for high‐level radioactive waste disposal in contact with bentonite suspension. The influence of three electrolyte compositions on corrosion behavior under repository‐relevant conditions is assessed.

Proposed characterization of tornadoes and hurricanes by area and intensity [PDF]

Results of the 1968 through 1970 Tornado Watch Experiment conducted jointly by NASA and NOAA suggested the necessity of characterizing individual tornadoes in order to improve the identity of tornado-producing nephsystems. An attempt was made, therefore,

On the Convective Environments, Modes, and Warning Verifications of Tornado‐ and Flash Flood‐Warned Storms in the Southeast United States

Meteorological Applications
Thunderstorms can produce hazards to society such as tornadoes and flash floods, occasionally at the same time. These storms can be categorized by their convective mode, largely through their appearance on radar. Convective mode is an important factor in
