of cloud-base transition-layer depth to sub-cloud mixed-layer depth. This puts ‘valve’- or ventilation-type closures for the cloud-base mass flux in the context of the variance budget for the sub-cloud layer. Copyright 2007 Royal Meteorological

, we investigate this problem in depth using Akamai as the content provider and Google DNS as the cloud-based DNS system. We demonstrate that the problem is rooted in the disparity between the number and location of servers of the two providers, and develop a new technique for geolocating data centers

, they are vulnerable to similar classes of security risks such as viruses, trojans, and worms [6]. In this paper, we propose a cloud-based smartphone-specific intrusion detection and response engine, which continuously performs an in-depth forensics analysis on the smartphone to detect any misbehavior. In case a

. The model predicts growth of the convectively mixed layer easonably well and is well-behaved incases of weak surface heat flux and transitions between stable and unstable cases. The evolution fthe modelled boundary layer is studied for different ratios of surface vaporation topotential evaporation. Typical

opensource elements to greatly extend earlier concepts of “Online Robots ” and “Networked Robots”. In this paper we consider how cloud-based data and computation can facilitate 3D robot grasping. We present a system architecture, implemented prototype, and initial experimental data for a cloud-based robot

describe methods for using this cue to estimate focal length and scene structure. The second cue is based on the motion of shadow clouds across the scene; this cue results in a set of linear constraints on scene structure. These constraints have an inherent ambiguity, which we show how to overcome

The cloud fraction (CF) and cloud-base heights (CBHs), and cirrus properties, over a site in southeastern China from June 2008 to May 2009, are examined by a ground-based lidar. Results show that clouds occupied the sky 41 % of the time. Significant seasonal variations in CF were found with a

realized because (a) sensor integration and thus usage information is not available on a large scale and (b) product optimization requires considerable efforts in terms of manpower and adaptation of production equipment. However, with the advent of cloud-based services and highly flexible additive

. Mobilization processes include entrainment thresholds, moisture inhibition, drag partitioning, and saltation feedback. Soil erodibility is prescribed by a new physically based geomorphological index which is proportional to the runoff area upstream of each source region. Dry deposition processes include

Abstract. A number of observations indicate that an upper stability transition occurs along well-developed faults, such as the San Andreas, as a result of unconsolidated gouge within shallow regions of these faults. These observations include the depth distribution of seismicity along faults
