Multi-scale modeling of shock interaction with a cloud of particles using an artificial neural network for model representation
Abstract The evolution of a solid-gas mixture under the influence of a shock wave depends on particle-particle and particle-shock interactions; i.e. the macroscopic distribution of particles is determined by physics at the particle (micro)-scale....

A DDDAS Framework for Volcanic Ash Propagation and Hazard Analysis
Abstract In this paper we will present early work on using a DDDAS based approach to the construction of probabilistic estimates of volcanic ash transport and dispersal. Our primary modeling tools will be a combination of a plume eruption model BENT ...

Information Theoretic Metrics to Characterize Observations in Variational Data Assimilation
Abstract Data assimilation obtains improved estimates of the state of a physical system by combining imperfect model results with sparse and noisy observations of reality. Not all observations used in data assimilation are equally valuable. The...

Interannual variability of water mass properties in the Tunisia–Sicily Channel
Abstract We analysed in situ CTD data collected on 36 joint Tunisian–Italian oceanographic cruises in the Tunisia–Sicily Channel (Cap Bon–Mazara del Vallo section) from 1995 to 2009 in order to identify the water masses in the region and to estimate ...

Systems scale assessment of the sustainability implications of emerging green initiatives
Abstract This paper demonstrates a systems framework for assessment of environmental impacts from ‘green initiatives’, through a case study of meso-scale, anthropogenic–biogenic interactions. The following cross-sectoral green initiatives, combining ...

Coupled Spatial Distribution of Rainfall and Temperature in USA
Abstract In the last decades, the international scientific literature has focused on the assessment and quantification of trends in average temperature and rainfall, underlining changes in time and space sometimes relevant. The changes concern the...

Effect of Water Content on Dispersion of Transferred Solute in Unsaturated Porous Media
Abstract Estimating contaminant migration in the context of waste disposal and/or environmental remediation of polluted soils requires a complete understanding of the underlying transport processes. In unsaturated porous media, water content impacts ...

Tracking hazardous air pollutants from a refinery fire by applying on-line and off-line air monitoring and back trajectory modeling
Abstract The air monitors used by most regulatory authorities are designed to track the daily emissions of conventional pollutants and are not well suited for measuring hazardous air pollutants that are released from accidents such as refinery...

Catchment Multisite Discharge Measurements for Hydrological Model Calibration
Abstract This work has the objective to find and test methodologies for distributed hydrological model calibration starting from discharge measurements. As all distributed models, also FEST-WB demands a large amount of information and parameters. To ...

Metamorphism of the northern Liaoning Complex: Implications for the tectonic evolution of Neoarchean basement of the Eastern Block, North China Craton
Abstract As one of the areas where typical late Archean crust is exposed in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton, the northern Laioning Complex consists principally of tonalitic-trondhjemitic-granodioritic (TTG) gneisses, massive granitoids...
