HAPEX-MOBILHY data, consisting of one year of hourly atmospheric forcing data at Caumont (SAMER No. 3, 43.68°N, 0.1°W) were used repeatedly to run the two-layer Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC-2L) land-surface scheme until the model reached equilibrium in its water and energy balance. The equilibrium results are compared with one year of weekly soil moisture measurements at different depths...

STUDY OBJECTIVES A new noninvasive practical technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) was examined for the measurement of alveolar recruitment. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. SETTING ICU of a general hospital. PATIENTS Acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients. MEASUREMENTS The ventilation-induced impedance changes (VICs) of the nondependent and the dependent part of th...

Nowadays, the renewable energy sources in microgrids (MGs) have high participation to supply consumer’s demand. In such MGs, problems as system frequency stability, inertia, and damping reduction are threatened. To overcome this challenge, employing virtual inertia control (VIC) concept MG structure could be considered a viable solution improve response. Hence, work proposes novel modeling for ...

A data assimilation approach is proposed to enhance the dynamic range of Vortex-In-Cell (VIC) method by simulating future- and past- instances. The VIC mainly considers a vorticity field from which velocity acceleration fields are calculated through Poisson equations, respectively bounded prescribed conditions. In addition, time derivative also available transport equation. focuses on such alre...

We use the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface macroscale hydrology model driven by observed maximum and minimum air temperatures and precipitation to map daily soil moisture values over China for the period 1 January 1971 to 31 July 2005. The model is applied over a grid of 10 458 points with a resolution of 30 km × 30 km. The model is first calibrated using observed hydrographs ...

Abstract The community land model version 4.5 provides two ways for treating the vegetation cover changes (a static versus an interactive) and runoff schemes tracking soil moisture changes. In this study, we examined sensitivity of simulated boreal summer potential evapotranspiration (PET) to aforementioned options using a regional climate model. Three different experiments with each one coveri...
