Abstract: Doppler winds measured by an instrumented aircraft are of great value in determining the wind field accompanying large-scale atmospheric disturbances. When they are utilized in interpreting and computing the wind fields ...

Abstract: Mesosystems associated with stationary radar echoes were analyzed. Five of them occurred on 20 July 1956 over the area of the U. S. Weather Bureau's Severe Local Storms Network, and they grew to 300?400 mi in diameter. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a proposed mechanism of cold air production associated with precipitation. A dome of cold air is produced by the evaporation of raindrops falling beneath the cloud base. A quantitative relationship ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to explain the mechanism of a hook-echo formation on the southwestern edge of an eastward-moving cumulonimbus cell. The conditions necessary for originating a hook-echo circulation through this proposed ...

Abstract: The original radar film of the Illinois tornadoes was analyzed with the additional use of surface observations from the available stations in the vicinity. This study shows that the tornadoes were associated with a tornado ...

Abstract: Since the concept of a rotational thunderstorm was presented by Byers in 1942, little attention has been paid to this important characteristic. Through direct and indirect observations, as well as a series of numerical ...

Abstract: For the purpose of evaluating the resolution of the High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) flown on board the Nimbus I meteorological satellite, three cloud-free regions in the western United States?the Grand Canyon, ...

Abstract: Over maritime areas, meteorological satellite data generally have been used only in the study of synoptic scale systems. However, TIROS 7 pictures of summertime stratus over the northern Pacific, when rectified and combined ...

Abstract: Because of poor coverage by synoptic stations, the tropical circulation over the eastern Pacific has not been known too well. As a result of photographic experiments, using the geosynchronous ATS-I satellite, fields of ...
