| 1 | Investigating Cirrus cloud behavior using A-train and geostationary satellite data | Berry, Elizabeth | Cirrus clouds; Dynamics; Behavior; Geostationary satellite data; CloudSat; CALIPSO; A-Train satellites | Knowledge of how the large-scale dynamics are coupled with microphysical properties is necessary for parameterizing cirrus in climate models. In this study, the synergy of the CloudSat and CALIPSO instruments is exploited for identifying cirrus. Mesoscale-size cirrus events are defined using a comb... | 2011-05 | |
| 2 | Use of a mechanical model to show the benefits of modern anatomical features of homo sapiens for head stabilization during running | Alston, Joseph D. | Analysis; Anatomy; Dynamics; Evolution; Running; Shoulder; Head stabilization | Stabilization of the head is critical for running. Homo sapiens possess several anatomical features that are useful for head stabilization. In order to test the functional value of some of these features, namely the location of the center of mass and the muscular connection between the skull and sho... | 2011-05 |
