Abstract Titan’s northern high latitudes host many large hydrocarbon lakes. Like water lakes on Earth, are constantly subject to evaporation. This process strongly affects the atmospheric methane abundance, temperature, lake mixed layer and local wind circulation. In this work we use a 2D mesoscale model coupled slab investigate effect of solar infrared radiation exchange energy between atmosph...

Escalating stratums of breeze vigor, which is variable, difficult to predict accurately, and escalating connected via power electronic converters, are changing how electricity grids are planned, designed, and operated. . Systems with high breeze penetration are also experiencing dramatic changes to the operating regimes of conventional resources to areas with large loads. Optimal diminutive-ten...

Monsoons are prominent features of the atmospheric tropical circulation, affecting the climate of nearly one quarter of the globe and sustaining more than one half of the human population in regions with rapidly growing economies. With projected increases in population and pressure for food security, understanding how monsoons will change with changing climate is both a priority and a major cha...

Local thermal flows may be organized where there is a local horizontal pressure gradient due to differential surface heating or cooling. According to a simple conceptual model of katabatic flows (e.g. Egger 1990), they develop in sloping topography where the air at the surface cools relative to the air aloft, e.g. due to radiative cooling on clear nights. The cold and heavy air flows downslope ...

We present some techniques for handling planning problems with numerical expressions that can be specified using the standard planning language PDDL. These techniques are implemented in LPG, a fully-automated planner based on local search that was awarded at the third international planning competition (2002). First, we present a plan representation for handling numerical expressions called Num...
