Abstract: In order to place cloud interpretation from the TIROS satellite pictures on a more objective basis, methods have been developed for computing radiance and albedos from the pictures. Provision was made for multiple scattering ...

Abstract: Orographic cloud patterns photographed by satellites are classified as wave-like, isolated lenticular, fibrous plume, and large single-line. Other orographic patterns consisting of rotor or cap clouds are not included ...

Abstract: Satellite cloud photography occasionally reveals anomalous cloud lines in the form of plumes often 500 km long and up to 25 km wide. These lines, found over the ocean, are composed of liquid particles. Hollow polygonal, ...

Abstract: The enhancement of cirrus cloudiness by orographic effects along the periphery of a large-scale thin cirrus cloud system is illustrated. From radiometric measurements and comparison with a nearby sounding, it was found ...

Abstract: Analysis of wind, pressure and cloudiness patterns shows that the weather of Southeast Asia during the southwest monsoon relates best to westward-moving equatorial waves. These waves are basically the same as those found ...

Abstract: Cirrus bands tend to parallel the jet stream. When bands occur, 50 per cent of the time they are found within 370 km (200 n mi) of the jet core, on the warm side and in the entrance or neutral areas. Sharp northern edges ...
