Micro pulse lidar is a promising tool for retrieving the convective boundary layer height (CBLH), but its application has been hindered by sharp extinction of the signal in high humidity conditions, e.g., clouds. To remedy this, we developed an effective and simple limiter to obtain more accurate estimates of the CBLH. The limiter is based on the algorithm for the convective condensation level ...

In this paper we generalize a new type of compact Hermite weighted essentially nonoscillatory (HWENO) limiter for the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods, which were recently developed in [34] for structured meshes, to two dimensional unstructured triangular meshes. The main idea of this limiter is to reconstruct the new polynomial using the entire polynomials of the DG solution f...

An experiment is described in which plasma flow to a tokamak limiter is controlled through the use of a local toroidal divertor coil mounted inside the limiter itself. This coil produces a local perturbed field Be approximately equal to the local unperturbed toroidal field B r ~ 3 kG, such that when Be adds to Br the field lines move into the limiter and the local plasma flow to it increases by...

During the current rise phase of the Alcator A discharge a series of disruptions occurs, related to MHD activity of poloidal periodicity m, at limiter q values approximately 1.6 m (m integral). The electron temperature profile is peaked at the-center throughout. It is shown, however, that current diffusion with the experimental T profiles typically leads to hollow current profiles and that the ...

The problem of inference for the proportion of successes in a finite populations is given much less attention in both inference and application courses than the related infinite population problem. However, the finite population problem is both interesting and useful in its own right while also providing insight into various approaches for the infinite population case. This article explores exa...

Subdifferentials of convex functions and some regular functions f are expressed in terms of limiting gradients at points in a given dense subset of dorn Vf.

XML promises to provide a powerful interoperable general framework for the development of music representation systems. Unfortunately current XML encoding systems for music focus almost exclusively on Western music from the 17 century onwards, and on the Western notation system, Common Music Notation (CMN). This is regrettably limiting, with cultural, theoretical, and practical consequences for...
