Contrasting controls on wildland fires in Southern California during periods with and without Santa Ana winds
Wildland fires in Southern California can be divided into two categories: fall fires, which are typically driven by strong offshore Santa Ana winds, and summer fires, which occur with comparatively weak onshore winds and hot and dry weather. Both types of fire contribute significantly to annual burned area and economic loss. An improved understanding of the relationship between Southern Califor...
متن کاملAnthropogenic Reduction of Santa Ana Winds
The frequency of Santa Ana wind events is investigated within a high-resolution downscaling of the ERA40 Reanalysis to 6-km resolution over Southern California. In this climate reconstruction, the number of Santa Ana days per winter season declines significantly over the 44-year reanalysis period, resulting in over 30% fewer events per year over the final decade of the reconstruction (1991–2001...
متن کاملReal Time Dynamic Simulation of Power System Using Multiple Microcomputers
Recent developments in the design and manufacture of microcomputers together with improved simulation techniques make it possible to achieve the speed and accuracy required for the dynamic simulation of power systems in real time. This paper presents some experimental results and outlines new ideas on hardware architecture, mathematical algorithms and software development for this purpose. The ...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملOceanic thermal and biological responses to Santa Ana winds
[1] Ocean surface wind vectors with improved spatial resolutions were derived from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite. They allow us to examine the details and extent of oceanic influence of a Santa Ana event a strong offshore and downslope wind in southern California that may spread wide fires, damage properties, and endanger a...
