Assessing Mesoscale-Equivalent Temperature in Kentucky
<p>The purpose of this research is to investigate mesoscale-equivalent temperatures (TE) in Kentucky and potential land cover influences. Kentucky presents a unique opportunity to perform a study of this kind because of the observational infrastructure provided by the Kentucky Mesonet …

Mesoscale modelling of block copolymer systems
This thesis is dealing with a set of physical phenomena occurring in various block copolymer systems and trying to understand them by means of computer simulation. In the course of the work Cell Dynamics Simulation (CDS) was implemented as a computer program and further developed when necessary. …

Mesoscale convective complexes over southern Africa
A combination of numerous factors, including geographic position, regional orography and local sea surface temperatures, ensures that subtropical southern Africa experiences considerable spatial and temporal variability in rainfall and is prone to both frequent flooding and drought events.

Mesoscale temperature estimates for Western Virginia
Maximum and minimum temperature for 14 stations in Western Virginia were used to develop a temperature estimation model. Locational data such as the UTM coordinates, elevation, aspect, distance from West Virginia and the distance to the coast and certain transformations of these variables were used …

Shear enhanced nutrient supply at the Mesoscale
… investigates whether shear associated with mesoscale features leads to locally enhanced turbulent mixing and a shear-enhanced nutrient supply. Measurements of turbulent diffusivity and nutrient concentrations have been made in a region containing an eddy dipole, a strong mesoscale feature, …

Mesoscale Ensemble Prediction of Mid-Latitude Cyclones
… was the assessment of these multiple, distinct mesoscale ensemble subsets, incorporating initial condition, model physics and lateral boundary uncertainties present in mid-latitude cyclone prediction. The use of separate ensemble subsets permitted direct comparison of the contributions from …

Molecular dynamics-based approaches for mesoscale lubrication
Classical lubrication theory is unable to describe nanoscale flows due to the failure of two of its constitutive components: a) the Newtonian stress-strain rate relationship and b) the no-slip boundary condition. In this thesis, we present a methodology for deriving a modified Reynolds equation …

Atomistic and mesoscale modeling of dislocation mobility
… metals, with emphasis on the atomistic-mesoscale coupling. Contributions are made in both methods development and mechanistic understanding of dislocation mobility. For atomistic studies of defects embedded in a mesoscale surrounding, we have given rigorous treatments of two types of …

Synoptic and Mesoscale Dynamics of Snowbands in Winter Cyclones
The key findings related to the narrow bands are: (1) The simulated embedded narrow bands were oriented vertically upright, their widths and evolution characteristics similar to radar observations; (2) Conditional symmetric instability did not contribute to the formation of the narrow bands, …

Mesoscale random fields of stiffness for in-plane elasticity
… length scales, which is to say at some mesoscale above the microscale yet prior to the attainment of the representative volume element (RVE). Focusing on elastic moduli in particular, a micromechanical analysis based on the Hill-Mandel condition leads to the conclusion that two fields, …
