SEASONAL TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TRENDS AT FIVE MINNESOTA STATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal and annual temperature and precipitation changes at five Minnesota stations considered as climatological reference stations were calculated during several extended time periods. For 1900?58 winter temperatures ...
Effect of Observation Time on Mean Temperature Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The increased interest and application of heating degree days (HDD) and growing degree days (GDD) prompted this study into the effect of different observation times upon the mean daily temperature. The study was based upon ...
A Three-Year Study of Net Radiation at St. Paul, Minnesota
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is based upon net radiation measurements made with a Suomi-type ventilated net radiometer. The average annual net radiation was 36,247 ly for the study period 1 April 1964?31 March 1967. April?October showed ...
Historical Albedo Values at St. Paul Minnesota, 1969–85
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Incoming and reflected hemispheric radiation were measured at St. Paul over four different surfaces (sod, alfalfa, soybeans, and green peas) for a combined total of 5778 days between 21 November 1969?31 December 1985. ...
Winter Albedo Characteristics at St. Paul, Minnesota
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean and median daily albedos of the November-April period are presented for a nonforested station in the North Central region of the United States where frozen soil and persistent snow cover are common winter features. ...
Calculated and Measured Air and Soil Freeze-Thaw Frequencies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Freeze-thaw frequencies calculated by eight different counting methods were compared using daily maximum and minimum temperatures from eight north-central United States National Weather Service (NWS) stations. These ...
Climatology of Diffusion Potential Classes for Minneapolis–St. Paul
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This climatological study reports on the potential for atmospheric diffusion at Minneapolis?St. Paul, Minnesota, cities located in the heart of the North American continent. As such, the results can be considered typical ...
Seasonal Variation in Daily Temperature Ranges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Abrupt spring and autumnal changes in the daily temperature range, from low winter values to higher nonwinter values, were noted in the Minneapolis-St. Paul temperature record. Since this feature was even more evident in ...
