The Diurnal Variation of Ground Temperature as Measured from TIROS II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: TIROS II measured the emission from the planet Earth in the atmospheric water-vapor window near 10 microns. During carefully selected times, when no clouds were present near sunrise or near noon, the measurements served ...
THE VARIABLE APPEARANCE OF THE EARTH FROM SATELLITES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The appearance of the Earth as seen from space changes continually. These changes in brightness and in color are produced by interactions between (1) geographical factors, such as coasts and mountains; (2) seasonal factors, ...
Role of Counties in Geodetic Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Counties should be involved with geodetic control surveys and should maintain county‐wide information services. Such involvement should include: (1) Maintaining files of horizontal and vertical control information; (2) ...
SCATTERING OF SOLAR ENERGY BY CLOUDS OF “LARGE DROPS”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the case when absorption is negligible, the direct and scattered solar beams have been followed down into clouds of ?large? spherical waterdrops, to calculate the distribution of the generation of diffuse energy in the ...
The Aleutian Low in January and February—Relation to Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean characteristics of the Aleutian low in January and February are compared. The comparison is made separately for years when the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) was anomalously high, and when the SST ...
Precipitation over Northern Honduras and the Icelandic Low in December
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The precipitation over northern Honduras in December was significantly correlated with 700 mb heights over Valencia, Ireland. (Measurements at Valencia were used to represent a more accurate indicator of the variations in ...
Earth's Radiation to Space at 15 Microns: Stratospheric Temperature Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nimbus III carried a Satellite Infra-Red Spectrometer (SIRS) with which the temperature structure of the atmosphere can be observed. The most opaque spectral interval on SIRS was centered at 669.3 cm?1 (?15 ?). At this ...
