Abstract: The magnitude of solar irradiance reflected from deep cumulus clouds to the ground was evaluated using observations along the Front Range of Colorado. Solar-irradiance reflection around noon was found to cause increases ...

Abstract: It is shown that the elastic field due to nonuniform temperature or a coherently misfitting inclusion in a semi-infinite region can be derived simply from the corresponding field in an infinite region. This follows from ...

Abstract: Unsworth and Monteith's aerosol attenuation coefficient τA was calculated with hourly cloudless sky data at Goose Bay, Montreal and Woodbridge (near Toronto) for the period 1968 to 1978. Turbidity was less on average (τA ...

Abstract: A spectrophotometer was used to determine surface emissivity of water samples in a laboratory. The results confirm a previous field result that emissivity is independent of water composition and is approximately equal to ...

Abstract: Micrometeorological data collected over cropped surfaces at Simcoe in southern Ontario are used to evaluate various evaporation rates. Data collected in 1971 from two plots of perennial ryegrass, one of which was irrigated, ...

Abstract: On passing through an atmospheric layer that contains random isotropic turbulent eddies, one would expect that a rising balloon would follow an erratic path. Recently, an FPS-16 missile-tracking radar has been used to ...

Abstract: A concept and an apparatus designed to investigate the reflected and transmitted distributions of light from optically thick clouds is presented. The Cloud Field Optical Simulator (CFOS) is a laboratory device which utilizes ...

Abstract: Field determinations of surface emissivity and temperature were carried out at the western end of Lake Ontario between July and November 1969. Emissivity was obtained from infrared thermometer measurements using an aluminum ...

Abstract: Transmissivities are determined for different cloud types using nine years of hourly irradiance measurements under overcast skies at six Canadian stations. Values for individual stations and for pooled data using irradiances ...
