A 13-year Trajectory-Based Analysis of Convection-Driven Changes in Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere Composition over the United States
(2020-12-18)Moist convection frequently reaches the tropopause and alters the distribution and concentration of radiatively important trace gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), but the overall impact of ... -
A 16-Year Observational Analysis of Land-Atmosphere Coupling in Oklahoma Using Mesonet and North American Regional Reanalysis Data
(2018-08)Global “hot spots” for land atmosphere coupling have been identified through various studies. One particular region that has been identified in many of these global studies is the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of North ... -
A 20-Year Survey of Short-Duration Extreme Rainfall Events from Summertime Convection Over the Central and Eastern United States: Climatology, Trends, and Meteorological Patterns
(2023-12-15)Short-duration extreme rainfall events (EREs) caused by convection are often associated with flash flooding, which can have devastating impacts on society. An increase in the frequency and intensity of EREs has been ... -
3-D Basin Analysis Of The Cenozoic Wagwater Trough, Jamaica
(2009)The Wagwater trough in eastern Jamaica is a fault-bounded half graben that formed as a result of regional dextral shear at a releasing bend connecting the Septentiornal-Oriente-Swan-Motagua and Plantain Garden-Swan fault ... -
3-D GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE KUPE INVERSION STRUCTURE, SOUTHERN TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND
(2017-12)The Southern Taranaki Basin underwent extension during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, followed by a compression during the Oligocene to the Late Miocene, resulting in inversion of some of the pre-existing normal faults. ... -
3D finite element modeling of blast wave transmission in human ear from external ear to cochlear hair cells
(2023-05-12)Auditory system dysfunction caused by exposure to blast waves is one of the leading causes of disability among military servicemembers and veterans. While the external and middle ear response to blast overpressures (BOPs) ... -
3D QUANTITATIVE SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF JURASSIC CARBONATE STRATA ON THE ARABIAN PLATFORM
(2018-12)Quantitative seismic stratigraphy of a 3D seismic volume of the Arabian platform provides critical information on the heterogeneity of reservoir quality of a productive Jurassic carbonate grainstone. The Vail method of ... -
3D RESERVOIR GEOMECHANICS MODEL OF THE PROPOSED FORGE LABORATORY SITE NEAR MILFORD UTAH
(2018-05-11)In this thesis a 3D reservoir geomechanics model (mechanical earth model) is constructed for the FORGE laboratory site near Milford, Utah. Such characterizations are necessary for enhanced geothermal sites (EGS) that rely ... -
60°S-62°S Witnessed a Shift Pattern of Southern Ocean Boundary Layer Aerosols and CCN
(2021)The Southern Ocean (SO), dominated by high surface wind speeds associated with frequent cyclones, is the most pristine environment on Earth, providing a natural laboratory to study the correlation of marine boundary layer ... -
A comparison of microphysical parameterization sensitivities in three comma-head snow events and evaluation of scheme solutions with PIREPs
(2013)Numerical model experiments are conducted to assess how aircraft icing forecasts are affected by the choice of microphysical parameterization, with respect to the presence of supercooled liquid water (SLW). Select winter ... -
A comparison of two-phase inflow performance relationships
(1997)In this research, the individual performance of vertical oil wells are investigated. The objective of this study was to verify the suitability of certain empirical relations to predict the rate-pressure behavior of a single ... -
A Geochemical Analysis Of The Carbon System In A Modern Tpopical Lagoon: Discovery Bay, Jamaica
(1985)"The factors which alter the total CO2 content of waters residing in Discovery Bay, Jamaica include photosynthesis, respiration, precipitation, dissolution, groundwater invasion, aerobic decay of organic matter, and gas ... -
A highly stable and repeatable source for spectroscopy of the B0u+ ← X0g+ transitions in ¹³⁰Te₂
Presented here is the detailed discussion of the use of a stabilized helium-neon laser in a Fabry-Perot interferometer to create a highly stable, precise, and repeatable frequency reference source for use in spectroscopy. ... -
