AbstractEffects of water mass imbalance and hydrometeor transport on the enthalpy flux and water phase on diabatic heating rate in computing the regional energy and water budget of the atmosphere over ocean are investigated. Equations of energy and water budget of the atmospheric column that explicitly consider the velocity of liquid and ice cloud particles, and rain and snow are formulated by separating water variables form dry air. Differences of energy budget equations formulated in this study from those used in earlier studies are 1) diabatic heating rate depends on water phase, 2) diabatic heating due to net condensation of non-precipitating hydrometeors is included, and 3) hydrometeors can be advected with a different velocity from the dry air velocity. Convergence of water vapor associated with phase change and horizontal transport of hydrometeors is to increase diabatic heating in the atmospheric column where hydrometeors are formed and exported and to reduce energy where hydrometeors are imported and evaporated. The process can improve the regional energy and water mass balance when energy data products are integrated. Effects of enthalpy transport associated with water mass transport through the surface are cooling to the atmosphere and warming to the ocean when the enthalpy is averaged over the global ocean. There is no net effect to the atmosphere and ocean columns combined. While precipitation phase changes regional diabatic heating rate up to 15Wm-2, the dependence of the global mean value on the temperature threshold of melting snow to form rain is less than 1 Wm-2.

Three secondary highways with flexible pavements were instrumented for 18 months to monitor changes in pavement moduli caused by seasonal meteorological changes. Temperatures, water contents, and water phase changes in the subsurface as well as meteorological conditions were recorded every 2 hours throughout the study. Pavement moduli were regularly determined by conducting surveys with a falling weight deflectometer and by performing backcalculations using the program Modulus. The moduli of the base and subgrade typically increased 12 to 4 times, respectively, when frost penetrated the subsurface. When the base and subgrade began to thaw, the moduli decreased substantially. The base moduli decreased the most, typically being about 35 percent of the prefreezing values by the end of thaw. Smaller decreases occurred in the subgrade. The subgrade moduli were about 65 percent of their prefreezing values by the end of thaw. The moduli continued to decrease until thaw was complete and then gradually recovered back to the original prefreezing values. Complete recovery required approximately 4 months. Similar changes in moduli were observed regardless of site or year.

Suitable Approximation

The imaging of detailed structures of crystal lattices with 3 to 4Å resolution, given the correct conditions of microscope defocus and crystal orientation and thickness, has been used by Iijima (this conference) for the study of new types of crystal structures and the defects in known structures associated with fluctuations of stoichiometry. The image intensities may be computed using n-beam dynamical diffraction theory involving several hundred beams (Fejes, this conference). However it is still important to have a suitable approximation to provide an immediate rough estimate of contrast and an evaluation of the intuitive interpretation in terms of an amplitude object.For crystals 100 to 150Å thick containing moderately heavy atoms the phase changes of the electron wave vary by about 10 radians suggesting that the “optimum defocus” theory of amplitude contrast for thin phase objects due to Scherzer and others can not apply, although it does predict the right defocus for optimum imaging.

This paper describes a promising method for non-contact vibration diagnostics based on the use of Doppler microwave sensors. In this case, active irradiation of the object with electromagnetic waves and the allocation of phase changes using two-channel quadrature processing of the received reflected signal are used. The modes of further fine analysis of the resulting signal using spectral or wavelet transformations depending on the nature of the active vibration are considered. The advantages of this non-contact and remote vibration analysis method for the study of complex dynamic objects are described. The convenience of the method for machine learning and use in intelligent systems of non-destructive continuous monitoring of the state of these objects by vibration is noted.
