Abstract: Hurricanes cause sporadic devastation along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts despite intensive research and a warning system that integrates satellite surveillance, aircraft re-connaissance, and a network of coastal radars. ...

Abstract: Four resistance thermometers which are installed on the WJBK-TV tower in Detroit provide continuous records of the temperatures at heights of 20, 300, 600, and 870 ft. From these records, times of formation and burn off ...

Abstract: It is common practice to compute wind run and mean wind by counting the total number of anemometer rotations in a measured time. The practice assumes that each turn of the rotor signifies the passage of a fixed run of wind. ...

Abstract: Profiles of refractive index over the West Indies based on the mean atmospheres of Gutnick and Jordan give no indication of the duct that is usually detected by radar at the trade-wind inversion. The discrepancy is attributed ...

Abstract: A series of rawins, tracked by an M-33 radar, was carried out at Palestine, Texas, in November 1965. Ascent rates of about 60 m./min. and recording of balloon coordinates at half-minute intervals were used to give fine ...

Abstract: Single Doppler weather radar velocity and reflectivity fields have been obtained with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) 5 cm radars for a wide variety of weather situations. Among those weather features ...

Abstract: Inversions at Point Arguello, California, as detected in 4½ years by rawinsondes at 0400 and 1600 PST, are related to surface wind direction and speed and surface temperatures. Nocturnal inversions based below 1000 ft msl ...

Abstract: Winds were measured in and above a tropical rain forest in northern Colombia. Wind speeds below the canopy are only 1 to 5 per cent of that measured 50 ft above the canopy. Wind directions below the canopy appear to be ...
