STRATIFICATION OF CLOUD LAYERS IN A STABLE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to explain the phenomenon of cloud stratification which is occasionally observed in the atmosphere. The leading thought is that these stratifications are caused by internal gravity waves. ...
The Spiral Bands of a Hurricane: A Possible Dynamic Explanation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to explain the shape and behavior of the spiral bands of a hurricane. The main hypothesis is that the bands are associated with gravitational waves of finite amplitude propagating at. the ...
THE “MUSICAL” SOUND EMITTED BY A TORNADO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper attempts to explain the ?whining? or ?hissing? sound reported from tornadoes. The leading hypothesis is that the air masses involved in the tornado circulation execute some free vibrations. It is found that these ...
SOME ASPECTS OF THE DYNAMICS OF TORNADOES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to construct a dynamical model for a tornado that may explain some of its known features. The assumption is made that a tornado is dynamically equivalent to a combination of a pure sink and ...
CYCLOGENESIS BY A PURELY MECHANICAL PROCESS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper-an attempt is made to study the mechanical influence of a surge of cold air on cyclogenesis. It is assumed that a quasistationary front exists and that cold air starts pushing at the rear of the underlying ...
A NOTE ON THE ATMOSPHERIC SOLITARY WAVE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An attempt is made to show that a single elevation of permanent type may exist in a two-layer atmosphere at the interface between the two layers. The compressibility of the air, friction, the earth's rotation, and its ...
