Abstract: A careful study has been made of the nucleating ability of various chemicals. The nuclei were prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere, rather than air, to prevent a reaction at the hot filament with atmospheric oxygen. With use ...

Abstract: A method of numerical objective analysis has been developed for application to stratospheric constant-pressure data at the 100-, 50-, 30-, and 10-mb. levels (approximately 16, 20, 24, and 31 km., respectively). This system ...

Abstract: The maximum-likelihood method is used to extract parameters of two-parameter models of the directional spreading of short wind waves from the power spectrum of high-frequency (HF) radar backscatter. The wind waves have a ...

Abstract: Satellite images that illustrate the clearing of cumulus clouds downwind from snow-covered areas are presented. The cloud clearing resembles that occasionally observed with lakes during warm advection, supporting the ...

Abstract: In this note the forcing of cumulus cloud clearing over and downwind from lakes during the warm season is evaluated conceptually by modeling and observational approaches. It is suggested that drying by dynamically induced ...

Abstract: The diversity of small lakes' (size <50 km) configurations, sizes, surrounding terrain, and land use combined with relative sparsity of observations complicates the observational evaluation of the lake breezes (LB) that ...

Abstract: he Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) on the Meteorological Operational (MetOp) series of satellites is designed to provide data for the retrieval of ocean wind fields. Three transponders were used to give an absolute calibration ...
