Observations of Cold Front Features at High Spatiotemporal Resolution Using the Atmospheric Imaging Radar
(2016-08-12)
Over the past 40+ years, cold front vertical structure has been studied for the
purpose of increased understanding of convection initiation and aviation safety. Traditional
scanning radars tend to not be well-suited for ...
Mapping annual forest cover in sub-humid and semi-arid Regions through analysis of Landsat and PALSAR imagery
(2016-11-10)
Accurately mapping the spatial distribution of forests in sub-humid to semi-arid regions over time is important for forest management but a challenging task. Relatively large uncertainties still exist in the spatial ...
Petrophysical Characterization of Shales Utilizing Laboratory and Field NMR
(2016-08)
Over the years, service companies designed numerous tools for field NMR measurements. Amongst them are CMR-Plus with Schlumberger, MRIL-Prime with Halliburton and MREX with Baker Hughes. NMR logs found success in application ...
In Situ Testing and its Application to Foundation Analysis in Fine-Grained Unsaturated Soils
(2016-12-16)
The in situ test is an important part of a geotechnical engineer’s arsenal. Currently, there are no established methods for interpreting results of in situ tests in unsaturated soils. The difficulty in interpreting in situ ...
Physical Knowledge Based Scalable Phased Array Antenna Modeling for Radar Systems
(2016-12-16)
The development of a large-scale phased array radar system such as the future MPAR will need a cost-effective tool for predicting electromagnetic characteristics of antennas. Simulating and optimizing of large finite phased ...
