Abstract Unique data from seven flights of the Coyote small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) were collected in Hurricanes Maria (2017) and Michael (2018). Using NOAA’s P-3 reconnaissance as a deployment vehicle, sUAS high-frequency (>1 Hz) measurements turbulent boundary layer hurricane eyewalls, including wind speed, direction, pressure, temperature, moisture, sea surface which are valuable for advancing knowledge structure process intensification. This study presents an overview...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are proving to be an important modern sensing platform that supplement the capabilities from platforms such as satellites, aircraft, research vessels, moorings, and gliders. UAVs, like satellites aircraft can provide a synoptic view of relatively large area. However, coarse resolution provided by operational limitations manned has motivated development unmanned systems. UAVs offer unparalleled flexibility tasking; for example, low altitude flight slow airspeed...
Abstract Horizontal wind, temperature, and moisture observations are presented from two Coyote unmanned aircraft system (UAS) flights in the boundary layer of Hurricane Edouard (2014). The first flight sampled meteorological conditions eye eyewall at altitudes 900 to 1500 m while was a major hurricane (105 kt) on 16 September 2014. following day, second inflow outside storm core ~760 altitude, when had weakened an 80‐kt hurricane. These represent deployments UAS airborne manned into tropical...

A novel gamma-ray imaging system is demonstrated, by means of Monte Carlo simulation. Previous designs have used either a coded aperture or Compton scattering to image source. By taking advantage characteristics each these systems new design can be implemented that does not require pixelated stopping detector. Use the illustrated for simulated radiation survey in decontamination and decommissioning operation.
Although much work has been done to optimize individual components of electrolyzers and fuel cells, very little simulate the entire system. A thorough paper review conducted increase accuracy PEM electrolyzer model simulation discussed in this study. Data on optimal thicknesses electrical properties various elements was collected from sources collated. The then implemented current collector rib dimensions for maximum performance efficiency over a variety temperatures. This shows higher...
Proof-of-principle of a novel gamma-ray imaging system has been performed by Monte Carlo simulation. Previous designs implement either coded aperture or Compton scattering to image source. By taking advantage characteristics each these systems new design can be implemented that does not require pixelated stopping detector. This significant promise in homeland security, astronomy, medical and other fields.
