  • Monitoring and Prediction of Severe Weather Phenomena through GNSS Meteorology

    Creator:
    Tahami, Hoda
    Abstract:
    While primary use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), various GNSS applications have emerged over the past decades that includes GNSS meteorology. GNSS meteorology is the remote sensing of the atmospheric constituents in the neutral atmosphere – mostly in the troposphere - using GNSS...

  • The effect of surface configuration on evaporation from a porous stream model

    Creator:
    Tichenor, Bruce A., 1940-
    Abstract:
    A stream's temperature is a major factor in its ability to support fish life and to be utilized for other beneficial purposes. The approach most generally used for stream temperature prediction is the Energy-Budget method, which involves the inventory of all the energy entering and leaving the stream. A temperature...

  • Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

    Creator:
    Harper, Kristine C.
    Abstract:
    American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

  • The late spring secondary precipitation maximum in the interior Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Quinn, Robert
    Abstract:
    The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade Mountains. Local topographic organization exerts strong control over the magnitude and...

  • Numerical analysis of critical field functions for thermal convection in vertical or quasi-vertical Darcy flow slabs

    Creator:
    Shyu, Chuen Tien
    Abstract:
    The numerical analysis of thermal convection in porous media, heated from below, and assuming Darcy flow conditions, involves the solving of a set of non-linear equations for the temperature and flow fields. The condition of criticality determining the onset of convection is obtained by linearization and the solving of an...

  • Computational Approaches for Understanding Combinatorial Gene Regulation

    Creator:
    Ansariola, Mitra
    Abstract:
    Gene regulation is a complex mechanism that controls the spatial and temporal expression of genes in a living cell. My dissertation studies focus on two problems. First, tissue-specific gene expression prediction from DNA sequence and chromatin state, and second, the accurate discovery of small over-represented regulatory circuits in gene regulatory...

  • Essays on applied microeconomics

    Creator:
    Noh, Dong Woon
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses three topics on applied microeconomics. First, we investigate issues of market power and tax incidence in the U.S. brewing industry. Since alcohol consumption can be addictive, we derive a structural econometric model of addiction from a dynamic oligopoly game. This model identifies the degree of market power...

  • Occult cloudwater deposition to a forest in complex terrain : measurement and interpretation

    Creator:
    Kowalski, Andrew S.
    Abstract:
    Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected the...
