A description of tropical cyclone recurvature in terms of isentropic potential vorticity
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-06)
Isentropic potential vorticity (IPV) fields calculated from the Na\7 Operational
Regional Atmospheric Prediction System are analyzed to determine their usefulness as
an aid to tropical cyclone recurvature forecasts. The ...
Numerical simulation of cold surges.
(1985-09)
A global, six-level primitive equation model was numerically
integrated to examine the interaction of a planetary
wave
with a growing mid-latitude baroclinic wave. The
purpose of this study was to determine the ...
Joint distribution of X and X(n) for a random sample from the standard normal distribution with applications to a variables sampling inspection procedure which guarantees acceptance of perfectly screened lots.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1964)
In this paper, tables of the joint distribution of the sample
mean and the largest observation in a sample for a random sample from
the standard normal distribution are presented for a variables sampling
inspection ...

(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979)
The thesis traces Australian defence policy from World War I - when Great Britain protected its Commonwealth - through World War II - when the United States assumed Britain's former role - to the Nineteen Eighties, wherein ...
Cooperative control of multiple space manipulators
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-09)
This research concerns the development of cooperative control of two spacecraft mounted two-link manipulators as they reposition a common payload. Lagrangian formulation is used to determine the system equations of motion. ...
Reusable software component retrieval via normalized algebraic specifications
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-12)
Efforts in the software engineering community to reuse code are hampered by a lack of tools. Reusability is particularly beneficial in a rapid prototyping environment. Rapid prototyping with automated reusable software ...
The guns-for-drugs trade: implications for U.S. foreign policy
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-12)
This thesis is a comprehensive study of the relationship between weapons and narcotics trafficking--a phenomenon referred to as the "guns-for-drugs-trade". It focuses on trafficking that occurs throughout the United States ...
The NATO SOF Air Wing: a basing decision
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-12)
There is a critical shortfall in special operations aviation support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) special operations forces (SOF). One way this shortfall can be addressed is through the procurement ...
