Climatic Data in the Coastal Zone—Our Climate as a Natural Resource

Reservoir Regulation in the Monsoon Climate of Korea
An examination of reservoir regulation rules in light of uncertain estimates of river flow in the Han River Basin, Republic of Korea, shows that two strategies will improve total hydroelectric...

Influence of Climatic Temperatures on Composite Bridges

Reported Results from 600 Cloud Seeding Projects
The authors conclude that cloud seeding is an effective way of increasing precipitation when applied to the appropriate clouds and climate. Reported results from research projects show...

Theory and Operation of French Energy Balance, Bowen Ratio and Micro-Meteorology Instrumentation
The Penman formula for potential evapotranspiration (ETp) and the Energy Balance Method for actual evapotranspiration (ETr) provide information on evapotranspiration rates. Examination...

Crop Irrigation Requirement Model for Utah
Crop irrigation requirements vary greatly across Utah's wide range of climatic conditions. About 40 electronic weather stations have been established in areas representing...

Potential Effects of Global Climatic Change on the Tennessee Valley Authority Reservoir System
Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other 'greenhouse' gases are likely to increase global temperatures and...

Pioneer Conjunctive Use Program in the Southern San Joaquin Valley
The Arvin-Edison Water Storage District is located in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley of California. The District is a pioneer in using conjunctive use operations to overcome...

Use of the Penman Equation in Inter-Mountain Valleys
H.L. Penman equation as well as the J.L. Monteith version of this equation were compared under the advective conditions of the Grand Valley of Colorado. The wind function in the general...

Regional Preparation of Marine Climate Assessments: A Case Study in the Chesapeake Bay
Quarterly assessments and annual summaries indicating the influence of weather events and climate on certain economic sectors of the Chesapeake Bay region have been produced by the Marine...

Collective Response to Erosion Along the Nigerian Coastline
Natural factors for the rapid coastal erosion include an intense wave climate, a low coastal plain topography, vulnerable sediment or soil characteristics and, the global eustatic rise...

Simulating Nonpoint Source Runoff to Coastal Waters
The simulation of nonpoint source runoff to coastal waters is based on data requirements of land use, soil type. Evapotranspiration and runoff capacity are determined from terrestrial...

Analysis of Prototype Freak Waves

Crop Production Models in Water Management
A weather generating model called WMAKER is introduced. The model generates daily climatic data based on the mean monthly values of temperature, precipitation, number of rainy days and...

Adding a Climatic Interface to Electronic Irrigation Controllers
Automated irrigation systems have traditionally relied on a time based controller set to operate the irrigation system for a specific duration and frequency. To determine the duration...

T Measurements for Irrigation of Sweet Corn
Commonly used scheduling methods are based on a water balance approach where evapotranspiration (ET) must be either estimated from climatic data or by soil water depletion measurements....

Spatial Attenuation of Major Pennsylvania Storms
To utilize point estimates for more expansive areas, reduction factors are necessary to account for the attenuation of storm magnitude with increasing area. The spatial attenuation of...

Long-Range Forecasts of Water-Supplies
Many engineers and water-users have an urgent need for reliable predictions of future rainfall and water supplies, extending many months or years ahead. Correlation of known historic rainfall...

Wind Loading and Wind-Induced Structural Response
A State-of-the-Art Report
This state-of-the-art report presents fundamental and practical aspects of modern wind engineering practice as it relates to structural design. The first chapter includes information on...
