AN INVESTIGATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF COMPONENT ANALYSIS FOR WEATHER CLASSIFICATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Selected hourly surface observations from Madison, Wis. and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn. are used as basic data for a series of analyses to determine the feasibility of establishing weather classifications. Component analysis ...
Northern Hemisphere Airstream Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-surface airstream source regions of the Northern Hemisphere have been identified using 16-year mean resultant winds from 3° latitude by 3° longitude grids. Tracing the airstreams back to their divergent centers reveals ...
A Non-Equilibrium Model of Hemispheric Mean Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple mean hemispheric temperature model has been constructed in the form of a differential equation which is a function of three independent variables: carbon dioxide content of the air, volcanic ejecta and anthropogenic ...
Chandler Tides in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Chandler Motion Of the earth's rotation axis should give rise to tides in the oceans and atmosphere. The Chandler tide in the ocean has been studied and found empirically to exceed the theoretical magnitude. The few ...
A Statistical Study of Dendroclimatic Relationships in South Central Wisconsin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stepwise multiple regression analysis applied to annual radial growth increments of mid-latitude hardwood samples indicates that satisfactorily high levels of reduction of the growth variance can he achieved only by utilizing ...
Long-Period Tidal Forcing of Indian Monsoon Rainfall: An Hypothesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the nature of the periodic components observed in the interannual variability of June rainfall in northern India by using an eigenvector analysis of the spectra of the June rainfall record (1895?1975) ...
