Thermal energy storage technical progress report, April 1990--March 1991

Description: The Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting development of thermal energy storage (TES) as a means of efficiently coupling energy supplies to variable heating or cooling demands. Uses of TES include electrical demand-side management in buildings and industry, extending the utilization of renewable energy resources such as solar, and recovery of waste heat from periodic industrial processes. Technical progress to develop TES for specific diurnal and industrial applications under Oak Ridge Natio… more

Temporal and spatial trends in the chemistry of acidified lakes under ice cover

Description: When preparing materials budgets for watersheds containing lakes, the spatial and temporal interchange between large compartments within the whole system must be considered. This paper addresses the lakes of the Integrated Lake-Watershed Acidification Study (ILWAS) and their role in our mass balance calculations for the period of winter stratification of 1978-1979, and presents data on lake metabolism.

Ice Island Creation, Drift, Recurrences, Mechanical Properties, and Interactions With Arctic Offshore Oil Production Structures

Description: Research and engineering studies on first-year sea ice for over two decades has resulted in the design, construction, and operation of jacket platforms, of artificial islands, and of massive gravity structures which routinely withstand moving sea ice of thickness up to 2 meters. However, the less-common interactions between such structures and moving multiyear ice ([ge]3 meters thick), and also moving ice islands (10 to 60 meters thick) remain as the unknown and potentially most serious hazard … more

Measurements of the summer surface heat budget of the Northeast Water Polynya. USCGC Polar Sea cruise, July 15--August 15, 1992

Description: A research cruise of the USCGC Polar Sea to the Northeast Water Polynya, off the eastern coast of Greenland (77--81{degree}N, 6--17{degree}W), was made from mid-July to mid-August of 1992 (NEWP `92) as the first field component of the multi-disciplinary study of a high-Arctic polynya funded by the NSF as part of the Arctic Systems Science program. Instruments to measure the components of the surface heat budget of the polynya were installed on a foremast at the bow of the ship. This report pres… more

Assessing the Importance of Using Biomodal Size Distribution for Ice Cloud Optical Property Parameterizations

Description: This report represents the final report for DE-AI02-0 IER63074. This work represented some follow-on work to that completed under DE-AI02-0 1 ER62669. The research reported here is undertaken in collaboration with Dr. David Mitchell of the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada. The progress given here represents my contribution to his approach by providing radiative transfer expertise and calculations.

Performance report for the ACES demonstration house, August 1976--August 1977

Description: The Annual Cycle Energy System demonstration house was constructed to demonstrate the energy-conserving potential of an integrated space-heating and cooling and water-heating system consisting of a high-performance unidirectional heat pump, low-temperature thermal storage in the heat of fusion of ice, solar assistance, and passive heat rejection. The house was completed and preliminary operation began in July 1976. Continuous operation and complete data collection began in May 1977. Performance… more

Lunar South Pole space water extraction and trucking system

Description: This concept proposes to use thermal processes alone to extract water from the lunar South Pole and launch payloads to low lunar orbit. Thermal steam rockets would use water propellant for space transportation. The estimated mass of a space water tanker powered by a nuclear heated steam rocket suggests it can be designed for launch in the Space Shuttle bay. The performance depends on the feasibility of a nuclear reactor rocket engine producing steam at 1,100 degrees Kelvin, with a power density… more

Quantifying Hydrometeor Advection and the Vertical Distribution of Cloud Fraction Over the Sgp Cart Site

Description: A single column model (SCM) is, in essence, an isolated grid column of a general circulation model (GCM). Hence, SCMs have rather demanding input data requirements, but do not suffer from problems associated with balance of a GCM. Among the initial conditions that must be used to describe the initial state of the SCM column are the vertical profile of the horizontal wind components and the vertical profiles of cloud water and ice. In addition, the large-scale divergence and advective tendencies… more

CMIP: A study of climate models and natural climate variability

Description: Model simulations of the natural climate (without human-produced greenhouse gases and aerosols) can be compared with observations over the past century. More careful and systematic examination of the model results seems warranted. Toward that end the World Climate Research Program has begun the Coupled ocean-atmosphere Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). CMIP deals with global coupled models of the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice. These are the models used to forecast global changes due to anth… more
