Abstract: An equation for the daytime lapse rate of temperature as a function of z/L is derived assuming the lapse rate varies as z?? in very light winds. This variation is presumed to result from the geometry of buoyant plumes. The ...

Abstract: Hole closing by diffusion of water vapor and droplets is treated as a problem in classical diffusion theory with constant mixing coefficients. The results, for reasonable estimates of the variables involved, lead to closure ...

Abstract: Shipboard measurements of CCN show the slope of the CCN spectra to be in agreement with other estimates in marine air from aircraft. Concentrations of CCN over the open ocean are quite low with estimates of a few tens per ...

Abstract: This paper considers the use of upper-air data from radiosondes in long-term climate studies. The accuracy and precision of radiosonde humidity measurements, including temperature and pressure measurements used in calculating ...

Abstract: Thermal, haline and total steric departures of sea level were calculated in a zone up to 165 n mi off Newport, Ore. The thermal and haline components were about equal in magnitudes and in phase, giving low steric sea levels ...

Abstract: The previous solution to the problem of determining the effect of rainfall on the sea-surface stress is found to be inadequate. A correct treatment confirms that rainfall may contribute significantly to the surface stress ...

Abstract: Possible changes to the North American Atmospheric Observing System that are under discussion include the scheduling of radiosonde launches according to synoptic conditions. The authors estimate biases in long-term monthly ...
