This book was released on 1988 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this investigation were to determine the feasibility of deriving vertical velocity patterns, the magnitudes of those patterns, and the three-dimensional wind field in severe convective storms. A technique called Tracking Radar Echoes by Correlation (TREC), also called the NEXRAD Transverse Wind algorithm, and data from a single radar were used to determine the internal storm motions. The radar data were composed of Nature Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) Doppler data collected on 19 June 1980. TREC uses correlation analysis to determine motion within and around a given storm. TREC was used to determine the u and v wind components. These components were gridded using a standard objective analysis technique. It has been shown that in weak reflectivity regions random pattern matching can occur, therefore in areas of reflectivity less than 10 dBZ TREC-derived data were viewed with caution. Important results of this study are: 1) there was good agreement in both areal extent and magnitude between the TREC-derived vertical velocities and the dual-Doppler velocities; 2) for time increments of 5 min or less between radar volume scans, the horizontal wind field derived by TREC agreed with the dual-Doppler wind field during the multicell and transition phases of the storm; 3) the effects of the generator level motions on the TREC derived wind field were evident only in the supercell phase and; 4) vertical cross sections indicated regions of updrafts, storm-relative inflows especially in regions of updrafts, updrafts extending through a bounded weak echo region, and an apparent gust front.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Three Dimensional Structure of Convective Storms and the Role of Vertical Shear in Storm Life Cycle written by C. William Rogers and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model is presented which describes the three-dimensional location of the updraft in a convective storm as a function of the wind velocity in the low-level inflow to the storm and the storm's motion. This updraft-plane model was used to interpret doppler velocities in RHI scans. The updraft-plane model led to the following hypothesis on the role of vertical shear in the environmental wind in controlling the life cycle of convective storms. If there is an alignment between the horizontal velocity of the middle level air in which the downdraft originates and the orientation and motion of the updraft plane, then the downdraft air, as it sinks through the storm toward the ground, will continually find itself underneath the updraft such that precipitation evaporation and precipitation loading many maintain and strengthen the downdraft. Conversely, if an alignment is not present, then the downdraft may not be maintained and the convective storm may be of the short-lived type.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications of remote sensing technology for monitoring and predicting water-related hazards Water-related hazards such as floods and droughts have serious impacts on society. Their incidence has increased in recent decades, a trend set to continue with ongoing climate change. Adaptation and mitigation measures require accurate detection, monitoring, and forecasting, much of which comes from remote sensing technologies. Remote Sensing of Water-Related Hazards takes an interdisciplinary approach, presenting recent advances in the available data, sensors, models, and indicators developed for monitoring and prediction. Volume highlights include: Progress in remote sensing of precipitation, storms, and tornados Different techniques for flood mapping, forecasting, and early warning Integrated approach for predicting flood and landslide cascading hazards Satellite monitoring of water cycle variation, water scarcity, and drought conditions Multi-indicator and multi-sensor approaches for quantifying drought impacts The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals primarily with monitoring, prediction and understanding of Tropical Cyclones (TCs). It was envisioned to serve as a teaching and reference resource at universities and academic institutions for researchers and post-graduate students. It has been designed to provide a broad outlook on recent advances in observations, assimilation and modeling of TCs with detailed and advanced information on genesis, intensification, movement and storm surge prediction. Specifically, it focuses on (i) state-of-the-art observations for advancing TC research, (ii) advances in numerical weather prediction for TCs, (iii) advanced assimilation and vortex initialization techniques, (iv) ocean coupling, (v) current capabilities to predict TCs, and (vi) advanced research in physical and dynamical processes in TCs. The chapters in the book are authored by leading international experts from academic, research and operational environments. The book is also expected to stimulate critical thinking for cyclone forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, and graduate and post-graduate students to carry out future research in the field of TCs.
