Fast Global Illumination on Dynamic Height Fields
We present a real-time method for rendering global illumination effects from large area and environmental lights on dynamic height fields. In contrast to previous work, our method handles inter-reflections (indirect lighting) and non-diffuse surfaces. To reduce sampling, we construct one multi-resolution pyramid for height variation to compute direct shadows, and another pyramid for each indire...
متن کاملThe Effects of Changes in Height on the Aerodynamic Performance of Automobiles
In this study, the fluid flow around a Pride vehicle was solved in a two-dimensional design using numerical methods. To do so, a two-dimensional figure of a Pride was modeled and gridded, and different surfaces were introduced. Then, governing equations the fluid flow was solved for the standard K-ε model and the appropriate boundary conditions. Areas that increased lift and drag forces...
متن کاملGlobal Distribution of Cloud Top Height as Retrieved from SCIAMACHY Onboard ENVISAT Spaceborne Observations
The spatial and temporal analysis of the SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) onboard ENVISAT global cloud top height data for 2003–2006 is presented. The cloud top height is derived using a semi-analytical cloud top height retrieval algorithm based on an asymptotic solution of the radiative transfer equation in the oxygen A-band. The analysis is val...
متن کاملGlobal Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud detection and height evaluation using CALIOP
[1] A global 2-month comparison is presented between the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for both cloud detection and cloud top height (CTH) retrievals. Both CALIOP and MODIS are part of the NASA A-Train constellation of satellites and provide continuous near-coincident measurements that result in over 28 mi...
متن کاملHeight Dependency of Aerosol-Cloud Interaction Regimes
This study investigates the height dependency of aerosol-cloud interaction regimes in terms of the joint dependence of the key cloud microphysical properties (e.g., cloud droplet number concentration and cloud droplet relative dispersion) on aerosol number concentration (Na) and vertical velocity (w). The three distinct regimes with differentmicrophysical features are the aerosol-limited regime...
