Abstract: A summary of present knowledge on the effects of waste heat and water vapor discharged from large cooling towers on augmentation of the natural precipitation downwind of such installations is presented. Available information ...

Abstract: Correlation and regression analyses were employed to evaluate the relation between summer hail patterns in Illinois and the climatological distribution of other meteorological elements, after dividing the state into sections ...

Abstract: A study has been made of the climatological characteristics of storm precipitation on a point and areal basis through the use of two sets of data. One is from a 12-year operation of a dense raingage network on 400 mi2 in ...

Abstract: Data from two dense networks of raingages in Illinois were used to obtain estimates of sampling errors in the measurement of areal mean precipitation on areas of 50?550 mi2 with investigations being made of storm, monthly, ...
