Abstract: Liquid-water-content measurements made during the 1957 and 1958 flights by the National Hurricane Research Project airplanes have been utilized in statistical analyses to determine some of the gross features of the water ...

Abstract: Hourly measurements at an urban airport and at a rural laboratory have been used in a study of Chicago area urban-rural humidity differences. Although the relative humidity was usually lower in the city than in the country, ...

Abstract: As in-cloud measurements have accumulated it has become increasingly apparent that clouds are markedly non-uniform in structure. This is demonstrated by sizable and rapid variations in the horizontal for almost all ...

Abstract: Continuous measurements of liquid-water content have been used to determine the magnitude of cloud water and its distribution in tropical cumuli. The average water content for a cloud penetration was always less than the ...

Abstract: The rapid fluctuations in airspeed experienced by an airplane have been used to define the areal distribution of turbulence associated with a cumulus cloud. In the majority of clouds examined, the turbulence was not confined ...

Abstract: Twenty years of records from Midway Airport, located within the City of Chicago, and Argonne National Laboratory, a rural site 23 km southwest of the airport, have been used to study the diurnal and seasonal variation in ...

Abstract: Observations made in and around tropical cumuli in the vicinity of Puerto Rico have been used to determine the presence of precipitation and to obtain estimates of cloud buoyancy. It is shown that the development of ...

Abstract: The influence of an urban area on the turbulent convective boundary layer is studied using an instrumented aircraft. Data from three undisturbed days with low wind speeds are presented to describe the urban effects on ...

Abstract: Sudden changes in surface meteorological parameters were observed to propagate across a densely-instrumented network in central Illinois during a summer night in 1979. The changes were due to the outflow from an eastward ...

Abstract: Two one-dimensional steady-state models of cumulus convection in common use in weather modification research, the NOAA Experimental Meteorology Branch model (EMB) and the Great Plains Cumulus Model (GPCM), differ in their ...
