GAMIL is used to simulate the tropospheric temperature anoma- lies associated with the El Nifio-Southern Oscillation （ENSO） in boreal winters for the period 1980-99. The results show that the symmetrical components of tem- perature anomalies simulated by GAMIL closely resem- ble those in the reanalysis data in spatial patterns, espe- cially in the Northern Hemisphere. The limitation of the model is that the simulated cold anomaly over South Asia is located to the east of the reanalysis. The observed tem- perature anomalies in the South Pacific and the high lati- tudes of the Southern Hemisphere are not evident in the simulation. The maximum value is 0.8 K smaller and the minimum value is -0.4 K smaller than the reanalysis. The difference between the simulation and the reanalysis is more evident in the regional features of the asymmetrical components of the temperature anomalies. Our results demonstrate that the previously discovered weak response of the GAMIL model to specified sea surface temperature forcing is dominated by the symmetric （asymmetric） component in the tropics （extra-tropics）.展开更多

First, a dimensionless equilibrium equation and the corresponding compatibility equation are established to develop the cable force equation and cable displacement governing equation for suspension cables, respectively. Subsequently, the inextensible cable case is introduced. The formula of the Irvine parameter is considered and its physical interpretation as well as its relationship with the chord gravity stiffness is presented. The influences on the increment of cable force and displacement by λ2 and load ratio p′ are analyzed, respectively. Based on these assumptions and the analytical formulations, a 2000 m span suspension cable is utilized as an example to verify the proposed formulation and the responses of the relative increment of cable force and cable displacement under symmetrical and asymmetrical loads are studied and presented. In each case, the deflections resulting from elastic elongation or solely due to geometrical displacement are analyzed for the lower elastic modulus CFRP. Finally, in comparison with steel cables, the influences on the cable force equation and the governing displacement equation by span and rise span ratio are analyzed. Moreover, the influences on the static performance of suspension bridge by span and sag ratios are also analyzed. The substantive characteristics of the static performance of super span CFRP suspension bridges are clarified and the superiority and the characteristics of CFRP cable structure are demonstrated analytically.展开更多
