Computer Program for Calculating Average Lengths of Weather Radar Echoes and Pattern Bandedness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The average length of echoes and a measure of pattern bandedness in digitized PPI displays are estimated from exponential-function approximations to the pattern autocorrelation coefficients. Average echo lengths estimated ...
Tornadoes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The prominent characteristics of tornadoes, their sociological and meteorological importance, aspects of the national weather service that pertain to storm forecasting and warning, observational and theoretical studies of ...
ELEMENTARY THEORY OF ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN ATMOSPHERIC MOTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF WATER CONTENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Continuity equations are used to clarify relationships between air motions and distributions of accompanying precipitation. The equations embody simple modeling of condensation and evaporation with the following assumptions: ...
KINEMATICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN WIND AND PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: If distributions of precipitation in the atmosphere could be understood in terms of their associated three-dimensional winds, then radar, radiosonde, and surface observations might be utilized in new ways as sources of ...
Condensate Content in Relation to Sloping Updraft Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The density of cloud and precipitation relates via simple approximations to the slope, vertical air speed, and diameter of moist updraft columns, and to the fallspeed and residence time of cloud and precipitation particles.
KINEMATICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN WIND AND PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTIONS, II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to extend our understanding of the relationships between the atmospheric distributions of water substance and the wind, a two-dimensional continuity equation for water substance is studied in terms of model wind ...
EYE REGION OF HURRICANE EDNA, 1954
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The eye region of Hurricane Edna (1954) is studied with the principal aid of radar and dropsonde data. Vertical sections show that over the eye there was a thick layer derived from the wall cloud which bounded the eye on ...
Frontal Analysis in the Light of Abrupt Temperature Changes in a Shallow Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors examine selected cases of abrupt temperature changes in a shallow valley in rural Oklahoma and examine their wider associations. All changes in the valley, whether rise or fall, are accompanied by a northerly ...
