Abstract: After a description of the important observational facts for Mars, a discussion is given of the probable vertical structure of the Martian atmosphere based upon the ideas of radiative equilibrium in the stratosphere and ...

Abstract: A calculation is performed of the friction velocity needed to lift dust from the surface of Venus. It is found that the most easily lifted grains are 16?17 µm in radius, and a friction velocity of about 1.3 cm s1 will ...

Abstract: Some consequences of the report by Herr and Pimentel of a cloud layer of condensed CO2 at about 25 km in the atmosphere of Mars are examined. It is shown that this means the average lapse rate below the con- densation level ...

Abstract: Mean meridional cross sections along longitude 80°W are presented for summer and winter. The distributions of virtual temperature, virtual potential temperature, and geostrophic west wind are included. These sections ...

Abstract: I. The flow of air in vertical planes across the Rocky Mountains is studied through the potential-temperature distribution. Sinusoidal configurations of the isentropes are observed which seem to correspond to theoretical ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to explain the observed distribution of mean temperature near the earth's surface over latitude and through the year in terms of insolation, radiative processes, and large-scale atmospheric eddy conduction ...

Abstract: The heat of neutralization between acid and base solutions may be used in laboratory models of atmospheric circulation to simulate the thermal effects of release of latent heat of condensation. This concept is used here ...

Abstract: Methods are developed for determining the contribution by each harmonic wave component to the geostrophic kinetic energy of meridional and zonal motion, and to the geostrophic fluxes of angular momentum and enthalpy. ...
