Abstract: A simple treatment of twilight refraction is presented, replacing sections of the tables of Link and Sekera (1940) by explicit formulae. The question of the scale height relevant to the twilight problem is discussed and ...

Abstract: The Curtis-Godson approximation for computing transmission along an inhomogeneous path is extended to include a higher moment of the density distribution. Numerical computations for typical situations indicate that the ...

Abstract: R. D. Lorenz et al. claim that recent data on Mars and Titan show that planetary atmospheres are in unconstrained states of maximum entropy production (MEP). Their model as it applies to Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan is ...

Abstract: This paper was presented as an introductory overview for the AMS Conference on High Latitude Climate Systems held on 6?8 November 1979. It discusses evidence relating events taking place in polar regions to the world ...

Abstract: A heuristic model of deep, tropical convection duplicates many of the results obtained by Pauluis and Held from studies of a numerical model of a tropical convective ensemble, and offers insights into and explicit parametric ...

Abstract: We inquire into the limits of validity of Priestley's theory of free convection when vorticity influences the dynamics of the convective elements. On the assumption that plumes and vortices (dust devils) are alternative ...

Abstract: We have developed a numerical model which can explain the principle observed properties of the summertime stratus clouds occurring over the Arctic Basin. Warm, moist air from the surrounding land masses is modified as it ...

Abstract: The authors describe a short, graduate radiation course that is based upon exercises with modern numerical radiation codes.

Abstract: The authors compare the performance of broadband radiometers with spectrally dispersed measurements. Spectrally dispersed radiometers may be more accurately calibrated than is possible with broadband filter instruments. ...
