Tropical Cyclone Forecasters Reference Guide; 5. Numerical track forecast guidance
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-12)
One of the keys to safe and successful naval operations in the tropics is a
thorough understanding of tropical meteorology. The Tropical Cyclone Forecasters
Reference Guide is designed primarily as a ready reference for ...
Non-traditional forms of intelligence
(1993-08); NPS-NS-93-003
Report considers the new requirements for non-traditional forms of intelligence. Emphasis on new scenarios which require
specialists in new forms of intelligence and areas of expertise. Due to the pace of rapid change and ...
Coordination of fleet battle experimentation and joint experimentation programs
(1996); N PS-IJWA-99-001
The Naval Postgraduate School mission is to increase the combat effectiveness of U.S.
and Allied armed forces and enhance the security of the USA through advanced
education and research programs focused on the technical, ...
Satellite motion around an oblate planet: a perturbation solution for all orbital parameters
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-05-06); NPS-MA-93-O18
The search for a universal solution of the equations of motion for a satellite orbiting an oblate
planet is a subject that has merited gre.at interest because of its theoretical and practical implications.
Here, a complete ...

Contributions to attitude dynamics of the Petite Amateur Navy Satellite (PANSAT)
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-02-16); NPS-SP-99-001
The purpose of this technical report is to document the theoretical and practical aspects of the attitude dynamics of the Petite Amateur Navy Satellite (PANSAT). PANSAT is an experimental, small, low cost, communications ...
Improved Efficiency and Power Density for Thermoacoustic Coolers
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-06-11); NPS-PH-96-004
Work continues on building a thermoacoustic heat driven cooler having no moving parts, with cooling power in the 0.5 to 1.0 kW range. Previous work dealt with numerical modeling of a new engine topology used in the above ...
Improved Efficiency and Power Density for Thermoacoustic Coolers
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-07-27); NPS-PH-95-002
A new design for a thermoacoustic heat driven cooler is proposed and has been analyzed via a numerical model. The engine layout incorporates a half wavelength or can be run in a full wavelength with dual prime movers and ...
Improved Efficiency and Power Density for Thermoacoustic Coolers
(1994-06)
Research on improving the efficiency, cooling power, and cooling power density of thermoacoustic refrigerators is described. A heuristic analysis of short thermoacoustic heat exchangers in a high amplitude sound field is ...
Asymptotic Properties of Stochastic Greedy Bin-Packing
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-11); NPS-OR-93-017
An adaptive or greedy policy for packing I bins, or equivalently for scheduling jobs for the
attention of a number, I, of processors is studied. It is shown that the suitably normalized bin
contents become nearly jointly ...
