Abstract: Because temperature and height data reported by different types of radiosondes at constant-pressure surfaces high in the synoptic stratosphere are often incompatible, an empirical study has been made of diurnal changes ...

Abstract: Meteorological data from the NASA Mobile Launch Expedition aboard USNS Croatan are utilized to investigate the early autumn stratospheric circulation of the Southern Hemisphere. Time-height and cross-section analyses ...

Abstract: Fourteen HASP and two ARCAS rockets, carrying WOX-1A and Arcasonde 1A instrumentation, respectively, were launched at Wallops Island during a 39-hr period in September 1965 to gain information regarding 1) the daily variation ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to determine empirically the diurnal temperature range between 24 and 36 km, by using means of 12-hr temperature differences obtained from successive rawinsonde observations over North America. With a ...

Abstract: Rocket data from the Meteorological Rocket Network and other sources, in addition to high-level rawinsonde observations, are being employed to analyze a series of 5-, 2-, and 0.4-mb. charts. The broadscale analyses are ...

Abstract: The frictional and thermal contributions to S22,2 (p), the dominant wave type in the progressive solar semidiurnal pressure wave, are evaluated from upper air observations at nine rawinsonde stations. The theoretical basis ...

Abstract: The diurnal and semidiurnal variations of wind, pressure, and temperature at Lajes Field, Terceira, Azores, were computed for each month of the year for 30 levels between the surface and 10 mb. The semidiurnal variations ...

Abstract: A recently published set of 10-mb. charts, analyzed six times monthly, is used as a basis for the discussion of circulation and temperature patterns during the year from July 1958 through June 1959. Comparison with events ...

Abstract: A wide variety of current climate products are being developed, produced, and disseminated to a diverse group of users by the Climate Analysis Center (CAC). The Climate Assessment Data Base (CADB), a major resource used ...

Abstract: The usefulness of Nimbus 4 satellite infrared spectrometer (SIRS)-derived temperature and height data for constant-pressure analyses at stratospheric levels is investigated by comparing SIRS data with rawinsonde observations ...
