  1. Improvement of pavement mechanistic-empirical design (PMED) virtual weather station interpolation model using radial basis function - Tennessee case study

    Msechu, Kelvin J2021

    … allows users to create Virtual Weather Stations (VWS) in locations where no nearby weather stations exist. VWS quality has faced several critiques through its implementations in PMED. PMED adopts the gravity model in its VWS creation process. MATLAB codes were used in comparing the error …

  2. Sea Surface Temperatures and Vertical Wind Shear as Precursors to Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Caribbean and an Expanding Main Developing Region

    Hibbert, Keneshia2023

    … and low shear for genesis. Increasing SSTs and VWS changes influence storm development. This work analyzes SST and VWS trends for the Caribbean, surrounding region, and the Atlantic hurricane main developing region from 1982 to 2020. Storm intensity increases significantly during this period. …

  3. An examination of the large-scale drivers of North Atlantic vertical wind shear and seasonal tropical cyclone variability

    Jones, Jhordanne J., author, Bell, Michael M., advisor, Klotzbach, Philip J., advisor, Barnes, Elizabeth A., committee member, Maloney, Eric D., committee member, Florant, Gregory L., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2021

    … North Atlantic deep-layer vertical wind shear (VWS). VWS is a key variable for the seasonal prediction of tropical cyclone (TC) activity and can be used to assess sources of predictability within a given season. Part 1 of the dissertation examines tropical versus subtropical impacts on TC …
