Abstract: An abbreviated historical account of the evolution of the satellite meteorology program is presented. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the satellite and its space platform for observing and studying atmospheric ...

Abstract: Available datasets and pertinent climatological studies have been examined to show the statistical trends in frequency of cyclone and anticyclone events for the Northern Hemisphere during periods of warming and cooling ...

Abstract: Workable special protection methods to prevent lightning damage to equipment and possible harm to associated working personnel are presented. This document covers protection methods for ground potential rise, isolation, ...

Abstract: Observational evidence of a locally induced snowfall is presented. Local snow cover patterns are shown along with accompanying meteorological data which suggest that the precipitation process was initiated by the introduction ...

Abstract: Following the selection of upper-air steering channels on the basis of the height of the ?closed? circulation, an objective technique is developed for forecasting the 24- and 30-hour displacements of surface ?lows.? Data ...

Abstract: Manifestations of both Rayleigh-Taylor instability and Kármán vortices in atmospheric flows are recognized, and existing theory is applied to infer some values for the horizontal and vertical eddy transport coefficients ...

Abstract: An examination of Applications Technology Satellite 3 photographs of the Atlantic intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) for the period May through July of 1969 has revealed an excellent case of ITCZ wave instability that ...

Abstract: Evidence has been presented and discussed to show a cooling trend over the Northern Hemisphere since around 1940, amounting to over 0.5°C, due primarily to cooling at mid- and high latitudes. Some regions of the middle ...
