The Vorticity Budget of the Wintertime Lower Stratosphere1
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Terms in the vorticity equation are approximated numerically for each of a act of grid points, map times and pressure levels in the lower stratosphere during January-February 1957. The hypothesis is advanced that the ...
SURFACE-PRESSURE VARIATIONS FOLLOWING GEOMAGNETICALLY DISTURBED AND GEOMAGNETICALLY QUIET DAYS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The average surface-pressure variations after geomagnetically disturbed and geomagnetically quiet days are studied at various locations in a network covering the northern hemisphere between 30 and 70°N. For the same location ...
Umkehr Measurements at Tallahassee
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For a sample of 59 Umkehr measurements at Tallahassee, the N values are positively correlated with total amount of ozone at all zenith angles, and the normalized N values are positively correlated with the total amounts ...
VERTICAL EDDY TRANSFER OF HEAT AND WATER VAPOR IN STABLE AIR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed soundings of temperature and humidity between the surface and 1000 ft in warm air moving over cooler water are studied to determine the vertical transfer of heat and water vapor due to turbulence. Under simplifying ...
THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF OZONE RADIATIONAL HEATING RATES IN THE VICINITY OF THE MESOPEAK
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiational heating of the mesosphere results principally from absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone. For conditions of photochemical equilibrium, the amount of ozone present near the mesopeak depends critically on ...
