The Case for a New NOAA Charter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is not adequately equipped to meet the needs of the future for research, services, and information relating to the natural environment. A restructuring of NOAA is ...
THE FIELDS OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION IN SELECTED WEATHER SITUATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fields of temperature, pressure, and three-dimensional motion are shown on horizontal charts and vertical cross sections for a period of anticyclogenesis above a polar anticyclone and for periods of cyclogenesis in ...
RADIATION THEORY OF LOCAL TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the lowest temperature to which a radiating surface may fall depends upon the thickness of the ground surface layer which undergoes temperature change, the conductivity of the layer, and the presence of ...
A THEORY OF AIR DRAINAGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equation of motion is derived for a compressible fluid cooling at the bottom by contact with a radiating surface of uniform slope and large extent. During the early stages the drainage velocity is found to vary ...
ON THE MECHANISM OF LARGE-SCALE VERTICAL MOTION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An equation is derived from the linearized equations of planetary aerodynamics which expresses the vertical component of velocity as a function of baroclinity, static stability, geostrophic vorticity, and geostrophic wind ...
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING PRESSURE CHANGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The contribution to density change made by local compression or expansion, advection, and vertical motion, and by horizontal mass divergence or convergence is determined for 132 cases chosen during a period of anticyclogenesis ...
