Abstract: Climatological estimates of mean annual precipitation over the world ocean are presented and discussed. We obtained a value for mean annual oceanic precipitation (between 65°N and 60°S) of 93 cm, which is smaller than some ...

Abstract: Correlations between the June-September Indian monsoon rainfall and Santiago minus Darwin pressure, Tahiti minus Darwin pressure, and Wright's Southern Oscillation index, as well as the individual station pressure deviations ...

Abstract: The problems of using raingages on ships are discussed, and methods of estimating rainfall from weather reports at sea are reviewed, with emphasis on discussion of efforts to verify the assessments derived by Tucker (1961). ...

Abstract: Relationships are examined among records of atmospheric pressure at Darwin, Tahiti and Santiago and indices of the Southern Oscillation (SO) formed from these pressures for the period 1883?1984, and the sea surface temperature ...

Abstract: As a preliminary step in evaluating the feasibility of determining meaningful tropospheric humidity trends on a hemispheric or global scale using a sparse radiosonde network, radiosonde data at the earth's surface and at ...

Abstract: Observations of the larger airborne sea-salt particles collected on Millipore filters at varying distances from the shore show that over the ocean and at distances greater than 8 km inland the relative frequency distribution ...

Abstract: Mean layer virtual temperature estimates, based on geopotential height measurements, form the basis for one approach being used to monitor changes in upper-air temperature. However, virtual temperature is a function of ...
