Wind Studies Using Level Balloons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accuracy tests have been carried out on a 3-cm Decca W.F.2 radar by simultaneously tracking a single balloon with two radars. The errors in height and wind speed and direction arising from these tracking errors are discussed. ...
Wind Studies to 120,000 ft over Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind data to 120,000 ft from nine selected Bureau of Meteorology stations in Australia have been analysed for the period 1959?1962. Seasonal meridional cross sections of zonal winds are presented and a comparison made with ...
Stratospheric Aerosol Measurements II: The Worldwide Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global surveys of stratospheric and upper tropospheric aerosols have been made using balloon-borne photoelectric particle counters. The natural variability observed at each flight station was small enough so that typical ...
Stratospheric Aerosol Measurements IV: Global Time Variations of the Aerosol Burden and Source Considerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Balloon-borne measurements of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol from late 1971 to mid-1974, a quiescent period in terms of large volcanic eruptions at stations ranging from 85°N to 90°S, are utilized in a study of the ...
