Wintertime Interactions of the Atmosphere with the Mediterranean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The net loss of heat by the Mediterranean Sea was determined for February 1969 while oceanographers observed the cooling and sinking of the water south of France. The heat loss during the four preceding months was found ...
Cloud Formations Leeward of India during the Northeast Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: TIROS VII photographs revealed that lines and groupings of clouds off the southwestern coast of India recurred frequently in preferred locations during the northeast monsoon season. Observations made on a meteorological ...
Computations of Surface Energy Flux and Annual Air–Sea Interaction Cycles of the North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Energy fluxes through the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean have been calculated using bulk aerodynamic equations with exchange coefficients which vary with wind speed and stability, and radiation equations. Values of ...
DIFFUSION, ENTRAINMENT AND FRICTIONAL DRAG ASSOCIATED WITH NON-SATURATED, BUOYANT AIR PARCELS RISING THROUGH A TURBULENT AIR MASS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The entrainment equations of Houghton and Cramer have been extended to include the effects of diffusion of heat and momentum and the frictional pressure drag. The equations developed from these considerations show that ...
Trends of Variables and Energy Fluxes over the Atlantic Ocean from 1948 to 19721
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Regression coefficients have been computed from monthly. seasonal and annual means of eleven meteorological variables and eight energy fluxes by 10° areas over the North and South Atlantic Oceans from January IMS through ...
HEAT AND WATER-VAPOR FLUXES IN AIR FLOWING SOUTHWARD OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent transports of sensible heat and water vapor have been measured from an airplane within southerly-flowing air masses over the western North Atlantic Ocean. It is found that the lower levels of these air masses are ...
Surface Energy Fluxes of the South Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fluxes of sensible, latent and radiational energy and momentum across the surface of the South Atlantic Ocean have been calculated by substituting ship meteorological observations into bulk aerodynamic and empirical radiation ...
TURBULENCE AND SHEARING STRESSES MEASURED OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN BY AN AIRPLANE-ACCELERATION TECHNIQUE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of measuring the horizontal and vertical turbulent components of the wind has been developed to meet the need for these measurements over the open ocean. An anemometer, a vertical accelerometer, and a gyroscope ...
Energy Transfer and Tropical Cell Structure Over the Central Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The meridional circulation over the equatorial central Pacific Ocean in April 1967 was found to consist of a shallow northern Hadley cell, an extensive equatorial cell centered south of the equator with maximum subsidence ...
