THE STATISTICAL THEORY OF TURBULENCE AND THE PROBLEM OF DIFFUSION IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Developments in the statistical theory of turbulence during the past thirty years have been used by a number of investigators studying the problem of eddy diffusion. Taylor has derived a formula for the diffusion of particles ...
DIURNAL AND SEMIDIURNAL ATMOSPHERIC TIDES IN RELATION TO PRECIPITATION VARIATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evidence is presented that precipitation variations in the United States are related to the solar and lunar tidal forces. The results of the statistical investigation are consistent with a mathematical model that shows how ...
A TEST OF THE REALITY OF RAINFALL SINGULARITIES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tendency for the recurrence of weather events on or near the same calendar date has been the subject of controversy for many years. The statistical evidence has been far from conclusive, and no generally acceptable ...
The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation and Feedback Processes in the Atmosphere-Ocean-Earth System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent investigations indicate that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in stratospheric winds may be related to variations in the tropospheric circulation in middle and high latitudes. Although the QBO was noticed years ...
VISUAL METEORITIC ACTIVITY AND RAINFALL SINGULARITIES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently published data on the average hourly rates of visual meteors for each night of the year have been compared with the average daily precipitation of a number of stations for a 50-year period. No significant relation ...
