Abstract: The statistical distribution of the magnitude of the vector wind change over 0.25-, 0.5-, 1-, and 2-h periods based on central Florida data from November 1999 through August 2001 is presented. The distributions of the 2-h ...

Abstract: The coherence between vertical wind profiles separated by a time lag is measured as a function of vertical scale from Doppler radar wind profiler data. Each profile covers altitudes from 6811 m to 16?261 m and is Fourier ...

Abstract: A graphical method of determining pressure from rocketsonde temperature-measurements is presented, and information for the construction and use of such a graph is given. This graphical method is shown to be simple and ...

Abstract: A restorative-iterative procedure is tested in initializing the height and wind fields for a global, barotropic prediction model. Real 500-mb data are used as the basis of initial height values in the midlatitudes and as ...

Abstract: Conventional techniques for determining which features of hurricanes govern their distribution of kinetic energy dissipation rate (?) fail to yield significant correlations because of the high random variability of ?. ...

Abstract: Airborne foil impactor measurements in Atlantic Hurricane Ginger (1971) show a raindrop size spectrum which is well represented by an exponential relation of the Marshall-Palmer type. No difference was observed between the ...

Abstract: Microscale horizontal velocity fluctuation measurements in Hurricane Caroline (1975) show that except in the eye, turbulent energy dissipation does not vary systematically with wind speed or altitude. Inertial subrange-shaped ...
