Abstract: This work demonstrates the feasibility of determining the east-west component of the sea surface slope distribution from a synchronous satellite, through quantitative analysis of the sun glitter. The Cox-Munk sun glitter ...

Abstract: An approximate analytical solution of the vertical equation of motion for constant density superpressure balloons is obtained. It is shown how this solution can be used to filter out neutrally buoyant oscillations in balloon ...

Abstract: Daily 150 mb maps south of 45°S were prepared for the period 16 November 1975?16 March 1976, using the extensive coverage of the TWERLE balloons in that area, in addition to the sparse radiosonde network. A sample of one ...

Abstract: A description is given of how the surplus bandwidth of the standard radiosonde can be used for an additional high-quality telemetry channel. Bounds imposed on the channel by the existing radiosonde signal are discussed, ...

Abstract: The pressure sensor for the Tropical Wind Energy conversion and Reference Level Experiment (TWERLE) is described. Key design features of the sensor are: capacitive coupling, reference at midrange, up-down counting, passive ...

Abstract: This paper presents measured data related to the question of how constant are ?constant-level? balloons. The simultaneous use of two balloon-borne instruments, a radio altimeter and a pressure sensor, operating on entirely ...
