Abstract: Evidence from the drawings, experiments, and writings of Leonardo da Vinci are presented to demonstrate that da Vinci recognized and, possibly, discovered the downburst and understood its associated airflow. Other early ...

Abstract: Gravity waves for the one year period beginning 19 October 1976 around Palisades, New York, are investigated to determine their statistical properties and sources. The waves have typical periods of 10 min, pressure amplitudes ...

Abstract: The stability analysis of baroclinic magnetic flow for an unbounded fluid with a linear profile is presented. An analytic expression for the stability boundary is found, corroborating the results of Gilman obtained for a ...

Abstract: We present simple radiative transfer models for the radiance and color of atmospheric optical phenomena. Skylight, halos, and rainbows are treated as singly scattered sunlight that is depleted by scattering as it passes ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, parameterized kinematic cloud microphysics model is described and used to simulate the form of cyclonic precipitation and its thermal impact in three idealized situations. The first situation represents ...

Abstract: The deuterium/hydrogen ratios δD of sequential samples of precipitation at Palisades, New York were measured during four separate storms during January 1978. The values ranged from a low of ?177? to a high of ?30?. For ...

Abstract: Precipitation samples were collected at stations in the Eastern United States for two extratropical cyclones during the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) of 1986 and analyzed for their δ18O values. They represent ...

Abstract: Relations between the behavior of atmospheric gravity waves and the meteorological conditions during the approach of coastal cyclones at Palisades, New York (near New York City) are investigated. It is shown that the ...
