Abstract: In experiments with identical cup anemometers, one mounted on a spar buoy and one mounted on a toroidbuoy that were anchored close together, the anemometer mounted on the toroid indicated consistently higher10-min integrated ...

Abstract: Spanish merchant ships, called Manila Galleons, made the round-trip between the Philippine Islands and the ports on the west coast of what is now Mexico, almost every year for the 250-yr period between 1565 and 1815. The ...

Abstract: The observed albedo over a natural water surface, as a function of solar elevation and cloud cover, is reproduced semi-theoretically by considering the distribution of slope on the sea surface. The relation of the albedo ...

Abstract: What appeared to he isolated mesoscale convection cells embedded in an otherwise solid deck of stratocumulus clouds were observed from a commercial air liner as it approached the coast of the state of Washington on a flight ...

Abstract: Canton Island (2°49?S, 171°41?W) was selected to study equatorial trough weather conditions and their effects on incoming solar radiation. The chosen study period, July 1957?June 1958, was quite appropriate since the mean ...

Abstract: Information and data recently received from Chilean meteorological authorities provide an improved atmospheric pressure record for Easter Island for 1912?13 and 1942?67. This study indicates that variations in the difference ...

Abstract: An array of three current meters were anchored on the continental shelf of the East China Sea during the last half of February 1975 as part of the Japanese Air Mass Transformation Experiment, AMTEX-75. The results indicate ...

Abstract: A simple objective method for using the barometric pressure changes associated with the Southern Oscillation to predict abnormally heavy rainfall over the Pacific equatorial dry zone was applied to 79 years of Darwin ...

Abstract: This paper discusses findings in regard to cloud distributions over the equatorial Pacific and the development of a method, compatible with actual cloud distributions, for using certain existing formulas to compute incoming ...

Abstract: It is generally known that surface currents off Oregon flow equatorward in summer when winds are from the northwest and poleward in the winter when winds are from the south. A detailed pattern of surface currents has been ...
