Land-surface processes are one of the important drivers for weather and climate systems over the tropics. Realistic representation of land surface processes in mesoscale models over the region will help accurate simulation of numerical forecasts. The present study examines the influence of Land Use/ Land Cover Change (LULC) on the forecasting of cyclone intensity and track prediction using Meso...

On December 12, 1985, the President signed into law House Joint Resolution 372 (Public Law 99-177), the debt limit bill which contains a section on deficit reduction procedures. This section is the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (also called the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill). This new law includes several provisions affecting the Medicare and Medical programs.

This simulation serves us in two ways. First, it acts as further verification for the Level 2.5w convective scheme (the "convective engine" for the MCS parameterization). Second, diagnostic analyses guide us in the parameterization of the mesoscale circulations which comprise the fast (and perhaps some slow) manifold processes of an MCS. The diagnostics include conditional sampling of various q...

Electrical tomography can be used as a structural health monitoring technique to identify different damage mechanisms in composite laminates. Previous work has established the link between transverse cracking density and mesoscale conductivity of the ply. Through the mesoscale relationship, the conductivity obtained from electrical tomography can be used as a measure of the transverse cracking ...
