The Probability Distribution of Land Surface Wind Speeds
The probability density function (pdf) of land surface wind speeds is characterized using a global network of observations. Daytime surface wind speeds are shown to be broadly consistent with the Weibull distribution, while nighttime surface wind speeds are generally more positively skewed than the corresponding Weibull distribution (particularly in summer). In the midlatitudes, these strongly ...
متن کاملThe Correction of Surface Layer Wind Speeds for Atmospheric Stratification and Height
The comparison of SAR-derived wind speeds from scatterometer-based transfer functions and in situ or model wind speeds requires that both data sets represent the presence of equivalent atmospheric stratification and measurement height. We discuss the atmospheric surface layer dynamics underlying corrections to equivalent atmospheric stratification and measurement height. In addition, we review ...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution of The Laminar Boundary Layer Flow over Semi-Infinite Flat Plate: Variable Surface Temperature
In this paper, the problem of forced convection over a horizontal flat plate under condition of variable plate temperature is presented and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This paper provides good supplements to the existing literature and generalizes the previ...

امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
Improving The Sea Surface Wind Retrieval Algorithm For NASA Scatterometers Using Atmospheric Boundary Layer Models
The use of an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) model is investigated to improve wind retrieval algorithms for NASA scatterometer projects. The ambiguity in wind direction retrieved from scatterometer measurements is removed with the aid of physical directional information obtained from the ABL model. This approach is based on the observation that sea level pressure is scalar and its field is mo...
