The surface stress is computed by the method of geostrophic departures using 23 days of double theodolite wind observations at Shilo, Manitoba. The main results are as follows. Relations between the stress and the geostrophic wind fit these data better than do similar expressions using the surface wind. The stress varies linearly, rather than quadratically, with wind speed. For a given surface ...

In this paper we describe a novel method for evidential reasoning [1]. It involves mod­ elling the process of evidential reasoning in three steps, namely, evidence structure con­ struction, evidence accumulation, and deci­ sion making. The proposed method, called 'RfS, is novel in that evidence strength is associated with an evidential support relationship (an argu­ ment) between a pair of stat...

This article introduces a new psychophysical method for a performance-based view of color constancy, in which the task for the observer is to identify similar materials across illuminants despite possible appearance changes, and to simultaneously extract the relative colors of the illuminants.15 The article also examines generality conditions for the task. Physical and neural constraints on chr...
