Frost heaving in soils is a primary cause of engineering failures in cold regions. Although extensive experimental and numerical research has focused on the deformation caused by frost heaving, there is a notable lack of numerical investigations into the...

Cold fronts are meteorological phenomena that impact the northern Gulf of Mexico, mostly between the fall and spring seasons. On average, they pass the region every 3?7 days, with a duration ranging between 24 and 74 h. In the present study, a high-resol...

The southward propagation of cold-air frontal boundaries into the Gulf of Mexico region initiates a cascade of coupled air?sea processes that manifests along the coastlines as an apparent brightness anomaly in the ocean color signals. Our hypothesis is t...

At present, some shortcomings of the research on coupling modeling of the oceanic front?sound field may need attention: (1) Most of the acoustic propagation simulation is based on ideal front models, but the application of investigated marine data is lac...

The 300 m-level high arch dams built in China have different degrees of valley-narrowing deformation in the initial impoundment. This unexpected phenomenon may increase the long-term safety risk of high arch dams. There are several explanations for the v...

Atmospheric cold fronts can periodically generate storm surges and affect sediment transport in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). In this paper, we evaluate water circulation spatiotemporal patterns induced by six atmospheric cold front events in the W...

Sand spits are common in wave-dominated environments; with enough sand supply, they can evolve to affect circulation and navigation in channels or inlets. The focus of this paper is on the navigation channel of the Sisal Port, located on the northwestern...

Sub-hourly heavy precipitation events (SHHPs) frequently underlie major meteorological hazards, but their comprehensive analysis is still lacking in Portugal. A 71-weather-station dataset for 2000?2020 is used in this article to (1) diagnose SHHPs corres...
