The applicability of NASA QuikSCAT ocean surface wind was tested for predicting South American low-level jets (SALLJs) with a statistical model. Our previous study (Wang, H. and Fu, R., 2004, Influence of cross-Andes flow on the South American low-level jet. Journal of Climate, 17, pp. 1247–1262) has examined the dynamic process associated with austral winter SALLJs using the ECMWF Reanalyses (...

The Caribbean and Great Plains low-level jets of the Intra-Americas Seas serve as an important source of moisture for adjacent land and oceanic regions. The Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) transports moisture from the tropical Atlantic into the IntraAmericas Seas, which is further transferred over to the continental United States by the Great Plains Low-Level Jet (GPLLJ). Thus, the GPLLJ acts as...

in this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. the effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the height o...

introduction: tinnitus is defined as a perception of sound without an external acoustic stimulus. due to large number of causes and limited knowledge of its pathophysiology, tinnitus still remains an obscure symptom. methods: this was a cross-sectional study on 120 patients with tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss who were randomly divided into two groups; one group received low-level laser...

mixing is an important unit operation in many chemical engineering applications. nowadays, the jet mixing is widely used and going to be replaced with conventional mixers as a result of its simplicity, high performance and low costs. jet mixing in tanks has been investigated by many researchers. however, no comprehensive literature review exists. in the present review detailed investigation of ...
