The coastal ocean may experience periods of fluctuating
along-shelf wind direction, causing shifts between
upwelling and downwelling conditions with responses that
are not symmetric. We seek to understand these asymmetries
and their implications on the Eulerian and Lagrangian flows.
We use a two-dimensional (variations across-shelf and with
depth; uniformity along-shelf)...
Service life prediction models for light-framed wood structures require an extensive quantity of empirical data on deterioration pathologies for the numerous structural components, as well as mechanistic approaches to determine their capacity at various levels of deterioration. The data and models presented in this study satisfy a portion of the...
