Abstract: Four years of satellite observations of the outgoing longwave radiation have been used to study the distribution of cloudiness and rainfall over the tropics. Annual and interannual variations are described, partially with ...

Abstract: Power spectra of mesoscale eddies with periods ranging from 10 min to 8 hr were computed for the months of January and July from three years of surface wind data obtained at Columbia, Mo. To educe the degree of determinism ...

Abstract: Eigenvector and harmonic analyses have been performed with monthly mean values of upper air parameters of the Northern Hemispheric circulation for the period from April 1955 to December 1974. The parameters used involve ...

Abstract: Maps are presented showing the mean annual sensitivities of longwave and net radiation at the top of the atmosphere to changes in cloud amount for the region 60°N to 60°S. The maps are based on an analysis of a 45-month ...
