Abstract: A 63-station radiosonde network has been used for many years to estimate temperature variations and trends at the surface and in the 850?300-, 300?100-, and 100?50-mb layers of climate zones, both hemispheres, and the ...

Abstract: Based on the 120-station North American radiosonde network, temperature trends for 100?50-mb (low stratosphere), 300?100-mb (tropopause), and 850?300-mb (troposphere) layers, and Earth?s surface, are evaluated for six 10° ...

Abstract: Between June and November of 1970, 26 GHOST-type constant-level balloons were released from Ascension Island (8S) for flight at 30 and 50 mb. The balloons were positioned by the Interrogation, Recording and Location System ...

Abstract: Circulations in the vertical-lateral and vertical-longitudinal planes in an unstable planetary boundary layer are compared through the use of tetroon trajectories. On the average, the circulation in the transverse plane ...

Abstract: The mean monthly polar stereographic map analyses of the Free University of Berlin terminated at the end of 2001. This paper summarizes the changes in size of the 300-mb north circumpolar vortex, and quadrants, for the ...

Abstract: Discussed is the use of tetroons to obtain estimates of the Reynolds stresses, the rate of production of eddy kinetic energy through these stresses, the coefficient of eddy viscosity, and the viscous dissipation within the ...

Abstract: The areal coverage to be expected from 300-millibar constant-pressure balloons (CPB) is examined for various numbers of releases per day from various stations. The meteorological variables which can be measured are discussed. ...

Abstract: Dynamical links of the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere and troposphere are studied, with an emphasis on whether stratospheric changes have a direct effect on tropospheric weather and climate. In particular, downward ...

Abstract: The utility of a ?first difference? method for producing temporally homogeneous large-scale mean time series is assessed. Starting with monthly averages, the method involves dropping data around the time of suspected ...
