RADAR FOR METEOROLOGISTS, Third Edition, is a comprehensive overview of the use of radar for the detection of meteorological an non-meteorological targets. While it covers the theoretical basis for using radar in an understandable and easy to read way, it also discusses prac-tical ways in which radar data are used and how to interpret the images now provided by modern Doppler radars. Ronald E. …
ABSTRACT: A gridded wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) climatology for the southeastern United States is presented, emphasizing athlete and worker safety thresholds. Hourly WBGT estimates are derived from the land component of the fifth generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5-Land) and validated using U.S. Climate Reference Network estimates fro…
Air-Sea Interaction: Laws and Mechanisms, first published in 2001, provides a comprehensive account of how the atmosphere and the ocean interact to control the global climate, what physical laws govern this interaction, and its prominent mechanisms. In the early twenty-first century air-sea interaction emerged as a subject in its own right, encompassing small-scale and large-scale processes in …
The book Wave and Wind Directionality: Applications to the Design of Structures, based on the proceedings of the International Conference, examines the impact of wave and wind directionality on structural design. It provides insights into the challenges of evaluating environmental loads and their effects on various structural types, such as offshore installations, coastal structures, and tall b…
The book "Waves in the Ocean" by P.H. LeBlond offers a thorough investigation of the dynamics of ocean waves, exploring the physical principles behind their generation, propagation, and behavior. The book delves into the different types of waves found in the ocean, including wind-driven waves, tidal waves, and internal waves, providing both theoretical and observational insights into their form…
This book applies mathematical modeling to the investigation of sea waves. It presents problems, solutions and methods, and explores issues such as statistical properties of sea waves, generation of turbulence, Benjamin-Feir instability and the development of wave fields under the action of wind. Special attention is paid to the processes of dynamic wind-wave interaction, the formation of freak…
Wave breaking represents one of the most interesting and challenging problems for fluid mechanics and physical oceanography. Over the last 15 years our understanding has undergone a dramatic leap forward, and wave breaking has emerged as a process whose physics is clarified and quantified. Ocean wave breaking plays the primary role in the air-sea exchange of momentum, mass and heat, and it is o…
Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the fi…
