An empirical study was made of the relationship of precipitation occurrence t o linearly interpolated concurrent vertical motion, 500-mb. initial 1-orticity, vorticity advection, and the average of the 700-mb. and 500-mb. dew point depressions a t Salt Lake City, Utah. All parameters except dew point depressions were obtained from the facsimile charts transmitted by the National Meteorological ...

The appropriate configuration of marine reserves for maximizing harvests or ensuring species persistence when there is uncertainty or variability in larval dispersal patterns is not completely understood. This is particularly true in environments with large alongshore advection rates, as the success of a system of marine reserves depends on connectivity through larval and/or adult dispersal bet...

A model, based on ozone-concentration tendency equation, is developed to study synoptic ozone-column variations. The application is referred to a middle-latitude site and to an atmospheric layer extending from the surface up to about 35-km altitude. Photochemical effects at the considered location for synoptic time scales are considered negligible. The data input consists of umkehr ozone profil...

In the past most diagnostic studies of frontal cyclone development have been carried out through use of quasigeostrophic models. In this paper we present the results of vertical motions obtained from a 5-level general balance model. Nongeostrophic effects such as deformation and beta term of the balance equations, divergence, vertical advection, and the twisting term of the complete vorticity e...

A hardware-based approach for visualizing unsteady flow fields by means of Lagrangian-Eulerian advection is presented. The implementation allows texture advection to be performed completely on the graphics hardware in a single-pass rendering. We discuss experiences with the interactive visualization of unsteady flow fields that become possible due to the high visualization speed of the hardware...

Contour Advection with Surgery (CAS) is used to simulate turbulent premixed combustion. This paper presents results from calculations of methane/air mixtures and ethylene/air mixtures with equivalence ratios ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 with different turbulence intensities. The positions, thicknesses and half-angles of the turbulent flame zones are compared for each case by plotting contour maps of...

In this work we propose a new Eulerian method for handling the dynamics of a liquid and its surface attributes (for example its color). Our approach is based on a new method for interface advection that we term the Marker Level Set (MLS). The MLS method uses surface markers and a level set for tracking the surface of the liquid, yielding more efficient and accurate results than popular methods ...

A hardware-based approach for visualizing unsteady flow fields by means of Lagrangian-Eulerian advection is presented. Both noise-based and dyebased texture advection is supported. The implementation allows the advection of each texture to be performed completely on the graphics hardware in a single-pass rendering. We discuss experiences with the interactive visualization of unsteady flow field...
