The primary objective is to continue to use innovative signal-processing methodologies to extract tropical cyclone (TC) structure information, including genesis likelihood from clouds clusters, intensity information, and wind field structure information from remote-sensing platforms in oceanic regions where in situ observations are sparse. This information is used to develop objective, accurate...

A biofuel from any biodegradable formation process such as a food waste bio-digester plant is a mixture of several gases such as methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3) and impurities like water and dust particles. The results are reported of a parametric study of the process of separation of methane, which is the most important gas in the mixture and usable a...

This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract It is well known that the storm tracks are a preferred region of stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE), but a systematic and climatological investigation of the connection between cyclones and STE has not yet been p...

today, extra tropical cyclones are recognized not only for the important influence they exert on midlatitude weather conditions but also for their integral role in the earth’s climate system. (gary luckmann, 2012). extra tropical cyclones are fundamental meteorological features and play a key role in a broad range of weather phenomena. they are a central component maintaining the global atmosph...

In the present work two turbulence modeling approaches, namely Large Eddy Simulation and Detached Eddy Simulation, are employed to predict the turbulent, swirling flow within an industrial cyclone separator running at Reynolds number 267,000. The results from three LES models, Smagorinsky, dynamic and Yakhot, and the SST-DES model of Strelets have been compared to experimental results for the a...

In this work, we demonstrate the use of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as a physical platform for realizing chaotic delay differential equations (DDE). Moreover, using our platform, we also experimentally study the synchronization between two time delayed systems. We illustrate two different experimental approaches – one is hardware co-simulation (using a Digilent Atlys with a Xilinx Sp...

Dynamic memory management is a vital feature of all modern programming languages. Yet, heap allocation is difficult for the application programmer to manage correctly and for the systems developer to implement efficiently. Unfortunately, and for very good reasons, memory management errors are not confined to novices: at least one study has shown that up to 40% of programmer time is wasted on hu...

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based scatterometry offers breakthrough opportunities for wave, wind, ice, and soil moisture remote sensing. Recent developments in electronics and nano-satellite technologies combined with modeling techniques developed over the past 20 years are enabling a new class of remote sensing capabilities that present more cost effective solutions to existing p...

[1] The responses of tropical cyclone (TC) potential intensity (PI) and the associated environmental control parameters over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) to the doubled CO2 concentration are assessed based on the ensemble simulation from 15 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) participated in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Forth Assessment Report (AR4). The results ...

: The Altera Cyclone family of FPGA provides the ability to perform run time reconfiguration which is known as Dynamic Reconfiguration. Current technology allows designers to implement complete embedded computing systems on a single FPGA. Using an FPGA as the implementation platform introduces greater flexibility into the design process and allows a new approach to embedded system design. Since...
