Automatic Observations of Cloud Nucleus Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Automated equipment has been used to obtain hourly counts of cloud nuclei at Robertson, N.S.W., Australia (34°36?S, 50°36?E). The experiment is described and some results from the first year of continuous observations are given.
Modeling Wind Speed Dependence of Marine Aerosol Distribution by a Gamma Function
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marine aerosol size distributions are fit to a gamma function using the technique of maximum likelihood. Aerosol measurements are separated into marine and continental components. The marine component is fit to the gamma ...
Humidity Effects and Sea Salt Contamination of Atmospheric Temperature Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microthermal sensors contaminated by salt aerosol droplets are subject to erroneous temperature fluctuations caused by water vapor exchange in response to fluctuations in humidity. The effect was studied by comparing the ...
Results of Five Years' Observations of Cloud Nucleus Concentration at Robertson, New South Wales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud nucleus concentration measurements made at hourly intervals between 1968 and 1973 at Robertson, N. S. W., show a very clear diurnal pattern with a maximum at approximately 1800 local time and a minimum at 0600 local ...
Verification of an Atmospheric Mixed-Layer Model for a Coastal Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An evaluation of the ability of an integrated (slab) marine atmospheric boundary-layer (MABL) model to predict changes in the inversion and mixed-layer temperature and humidity using data from the Los Angeles-San Diego ...
Ocean Radar Backscatter Relationship with Near-Surface Winds: A Case Study during FASINEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of ocean radar backscatter dependence on near-surface wind and wind stress is presented using the data obtained on 18 February 1986 during the Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment. Our interest in this case ...
