The Detection by ERTS-1 of Wind-Induced Ocean Surface Features in the Lee of the Antilles Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Photographic data received from the ERTS-1 satellite over the Lesser Antilles Islands show distinct ocean features on the leeward side of each island. Attempts to relate these features to ocean eddy formations with the aid ...
The Radiative Effectiveness of Plastic Films for Greenhouses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral transmission properties of glass, polyester film, polyvinyl-fluoride film, polystyrene film and polyethylene film are presented, based on laboratory determined spectrograms and field measurements of atmospheric ...
SOME ASPECTS OF THE THERMAL ENERGY EXCHANGE ON THE SOUTH POLAR SNOW FIELD AND ARCTIC ICE PACK
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar and terrestrial radiation measurements that were obtained at Amundsen-Scott (South Pole) Station and on Ice Island (Bravo) T?3 are presented for representative summer and winter months. Of the South Polar net radiation ...
ALBEDO MEASUREMENTS OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On Septemer 16, 1961, Eppley pyranometers mounted in a P2V?7 aircraft were used to measure the incoming and outgoing solar radiation fluxes at 7,500, 9,500 and 25,000 ft. along flight paths between Atlantic City, N.J., and ...
REFLECTION OF SUNLIGHT TO SPACE AND ABSORPTION BY THE EARTH AND ATMOSPHERE OVER THE UNITED STATES DURING SPRING 1962
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study describes a method for determining the reflection of sunlight to space and absorption by the earth and atmosphere, using low-resolution radiometer data from earth satellites. The method has been used with TIROS ...
Precipitation and the Lunar Synodic Cycle: Phase Progression across the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The question of whether there is significant variation in precipitation in the United States at the lunar synodic period (29.531 days) has been examined, based on daily precipitation data for the period 1900?80. Our results ...
The “Chirp” Digital Radiosonde
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on a digital measurement (?chirp?) system which has application for a wide range of meteorological and earth satellite measurements. The system employs a simple concept in which a voltage pulse, proportional ...
On the Influence of Pacific Ocean Temperatures on Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration at Ocean Weather Station P
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study presents an analysis of atmospheric CO2 measurements at Ocean Weather Station P (50°N, 145°W) and sea surface temperatures over the North Pacific for the period 1974?78. The results show that during 1976 and 1977 ...
