Abstract: The steady-state radiation temperature correction for a spherical temperature sensor, defined as the difference between the observed sensor temperature and the true air temperature, is computed for clear nighttime conditions ...

Abstract: A method is presented for obtaining empirical confidence limits for variance spectra. It can be applied whenever the distribution of spectral variances is unknown but the stochastic model of the data is known or proposed. ...

Abstract: Observations at the San Juan, Puerto Rico international airport show that the annual mean temperature has increased by about 2.1°C (3.8°F) from 1956 to 1983. The chief contributors to the increase are an increase in daily ...

Abstract: A method is developed to predict corn yield during the growing season using a plant process model (CERES-Maize), current weather data and climatological data. The procedure is to place the current year's daily weather ...

Abstract: A Fourier method of filtering digital data called Lanczos filtering is described. Its principal feature is the use of ?sigma factors? which significantly reduce the amplitude of the Gibbs oscillation. A pair of graphs is ...

Abstract: A series of nomograms is presented showing the longwave radiation temperature correction for various thermocouple wire diameters, different values of emitted and absorbed radiation, and for wind speeds from zero to 10 m ...

Abstract: An improved parameterization is presented for estimating effective atmospheric emissivity for use in calculating downwelling longwave radiation based on temperature, humidity, pressure, and solar radiation observations. ...

Abstract: Time series of daily broadband surface albedo for 1998 and 1999 have been analyzed from six locations in the network of 22 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Solar?Infrared Radiation Stations distributed from central ...

Abstract: The effect of ship heating on dry-bulb temperature measurements made during GATE is investigated. It is found that measurements taken on a bow boom are less affected than those taken on the ship's bridge. It is also seen ...
