Seasonal Cycles of Along-Track Tropical Cyclone Maximum Intensity
2019
Monthly Weather Review
Because no individual V max is tied directly to the mean along-track PI, we illustrate the intramonthly variability of along-track PI with its IQR. ...
Beyond these outliers, along-track PI performs well as a predictor of the high percentiles of V max , acting as a consistent limit on climatological tropical cyclone wind speeds during the NA hurricane ...

LOW-ALTITUDE RECONNECTION INFLOW-OUTFLOW OBSERVATIONS DURING A 2010 NOVEMBER 3 SOLAR ERUPTION
2012
Astrophysical Journal
The inflow speeds of these pairs are measured to be 10^2 km/s with outflow speeds ranging from 10^2-10^3 km/s - indicating acceleration during the reconnection process. ...
Using the inflow speeds and a range of Alfven speeds, we estimate the Alfvenic Mach number which appears to decrease with time. ...
The average inflow speeds and the initial outflow speeds (derived by fitting a 2-D polynomial to the outflow tracks) are provided. ...

Traffic Regulation via Controlled Speed Limit
2017
SIAM Journal of Control and Optimization
We study an optimal control problem for traffic regulation via variable speed limit. ...
We aim at minimizing the L 2 quadratic error to a desired outflow, given an inflow on a single road. ...
Instead, [23, 24, 25] use model predictive control (MPC) to optimally coordinate variable speed limits for freeway traffic with the aim of suppressing shock waves. ...

Object-Based Algorithm for the Identification and Tracking of Convective Outflow Boundaries in Numerical Models
2018
Monthly Weather Review
A novel object-based algorithm capable of identifying and tracking convective outflow boundaries in convection-allowing numerical models is presented in this study. ...
These applications are illustrated for a retrospective case study simulated with a convection-allowing ensemble prediction system. ...
The second dynamical constraint imposes an upper limit on the object's propagation speed and is denoted as V 1 O . ...

Surface circulation in the Gulf of Cadiz: 2. Inflow-outflow coupling and the Gulf of Cadiz slope current
2009
Journal of Geophysical Research
It is speculated that the cycle in the observed currents is associated with variability in the inflow/outflow coupling system, rather than driven by seasonally changing wind forcing. ...
Observations, both original and revisited, and realistic numerical modeling are used together to describe the structure and variability of the slope current system above the Mediterranean outflow. ...

Optimal Control of Freeway Networks with Bottlenecks and Static Demand
2005
Transportation Research Record
We consider optimally coordinated freeway traffic control for networks containing bottlenecks with capacity drop and hysteresis behavior. ...
We develop an approach that addresses these problems, where we use a generalized representation of flow-limiting control measures and bottlenecks. ...
Note that for variable speed limits, the speed limit value must be lower than the critical speed in order to limit the flow. ...

On the behaviour of stellar winds that exceed the photon-tiring limit
2009
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Typically, these winds have a very high density but a terminal flow speed well below the escape speed at the stellar surface. ...
At larger distances, the flow eventually becomes uniformly outward, though still quite variable. ...

Observations of inertial currents in a lagoon in southeastern Iceland using terrestrial radar interferometry and automated iceberg tracking
2015
Computers & Geosciences
Over our 43.5-h observation period, the lagoon has clockwise circulation with current speeds of order 3-8 cm/s and occasional strong glacier outflows of up to ∼15 cm/s. ...
The currents driven by the glacial outflows appear to be dominantly inertial. ...
Acknowledgments We thank the Jökulsárlón lagoon staff for their help with data collection. We also thank Björn Oddsson for his assistance with logistics in the field. ...

Interbasin Differences in the Relationship between SST and Tropical Cyclone Intensification
2018
Monthly Weather Review
First, variability of SST along TCs' tracks is lower in the Atlantic. ...
Finally, SST tends to vary out of phase with vertical wind shear and outflow temperature in the western Pacific. ...
Because SST decreases northward, outflow temperature tends to vary out of phase with SST along western Pacific TCs' tracks. ...

Satellite‐derived characteristics of Saharan cold pool outflows during boreal summer
2020
Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres
Propagation speeds decay exponentially through their lifetime, but on average speeds are 1.5 m/s higher at night. 22.5% of the observed events exceed a total travelled distance of 300 km, with an overwhelming ...
As such, the role of CPOs in the observed variability of dust through the monsoon season remains unclear. To remedy these issues, an improved observational benchmark is needed. ...
Each individual case is then reviewed with manual analysis of SEVIRI imagery to check that the outflow boundary did indeed pass over the station. 3.0.0.5 Meteorological variables used to detect the passage ...
