Hemispherical Asymmetry of Tropical Precipitation in ECHAM5/MPI-OM during El Niño and under Global Warming
|
ABSTRACT
Similarities and differences between El Niño and global warming are examined in hemispherical and zonal tropical precipitation changes of the ECHAM5/Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM) simulations. Similarities include hemispherical asymmetry of tropical precipitation changes. This precipitation asymmetry varies with season. In the boreal summer and autumn (winter and spring), positive precipitation anomalies are found over the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere and negativ...

Atmosphere Change of Vacuum to Hydrogen and Sharpness of {110}[left angle bracket]001[right angle bracket] Texture in Thin-Gaged 3 Pct Si-Fe Alloy Strips
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions
; Heating in vacuum finally resulted in a main {100}[left angle bracket]uvw[right angle bracket] texture and a trace of {111}[left angle bracket]uvw[right angle bracket] texture. However, the texture was changed to the {110}[left angle bracket]001[right angle bracket] texture when the strip was

Effect of initial texture on texture evolution in 1050 AI alloys under simple shear
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions
; The effect of the initial textures prior to dissimilar channel angular pressing (DCAP) on the texture evolution of the 1050 Al alloy sheets, processed by the continuous confined strip shearing (C2S2) process, were studied. The four different specimens, i.e., cold rolled, heat treated, warm rolled,

Predicting the Tolerance of Proteins to Random Amino Acid Substitution
Biophysical Journal
