On the Inexactness of the 10.7-cm Flux from the Sun as an Index of the Total Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 10.7-cm solar flux (S) is widely used for upper-atmosphere studies as an index of the solar extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV), whose variations are responsible for major changes in properties above 200 km. A model ...
A THEORY FOR CLOSE-IN FALLOUT FROM LAND-SURFACE NUCLEAR BURSTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current fallout-computation methods do not account for the early-time dynamics of the fallout process. Therefore, the present theory was originated in the attempt to explain the mechanics of fallout more completely. This ...
A Simple Model for Atmospheric Density Variations from 200 to 800 km
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple atmospheric density model, based on satellite orbital decay data from four satellites, is derived by assuming that a direct proportionality applies between the 10.7-cm solar-radio-noise flux and the density. The ...
FREE-AIR TURBULENCE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eighteen hundred seventy-seven layers of turbulence, measured between 3000-18,300 m at four widely separated locations during all seasons by a parachuted telemetering instrument, have been analyzed by reducing the data to ...
The Variation of the Neutral Atmospheric Properties with Local Time and Solar Activity from 100 to 10,000 km
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A semi-theoretical model of the upper atmosphere has been constructed to allow the calculation of neutral properties from 100 to 10,000 km as a function of local time and solar activity. The calculations are based on ...
