Abstract: Three-hour average vertical velocity values are computed at the 500-and 300-mb levels under the assumption of adiabatic motion by the ?isobaric? technique. The patterns of the isolines of vertical velocity (isanabats) are ...

Abstract: Grid-point values of eastward and northward wind components imply that specific fields of divergence, vorticity and deformation exist. For certain purposes, one may wish to change the winds slightly to make them non-divergent, ...

Abstract: In certain meteorological problems it is desirable to make a grid-point analysis of observed winds. In order to combine a wind analysis with other quantities, or to use the wind analysis in a numerical model, one may wish ...

Abstract: The structure of the atmosphere in regions of clear-air turbulence is investigated by means of aircraft observations of wind and temperature in combination with objective and subjective turbulence records. The nature of ...

Abstract: The viewpoint is taken that in large portions of the atmosphere, wind speeds (Vgr), divergence (Dgr), and vorticity (?gr) obtained under the gradient wind assumption are considerably more accurate representations of true ...

Abstract: Particulate extinction profiles measured by the satellite-borne SAM II and SAGE I sensors have been used to investigate the relationship between stratospheric aerosols (between 15 and 30 km) and the location of the north ...

Abstract: Improvements to the SRI automatic cloud-tracking system are described that enable it to operate on multilayer clouds associated with severe storms. The improved method has been tested using rapid-scan observations of ...

Abstract: The relationships between acidity and the principal chemical constituents of precipitation (including sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and chloride) were investigated using a new archive of daily ...
