Abstract: The average radiation flux and flux divergence in the atmosphere during March is computed as a function of the chief absorbents of terrestrial and solar radiation, and the physical parameters of the atmosphere such as ...

Abstract: It is assumed that a small temperature perturbation is superimposed on a steady equilibrium temperature distribution in the atmosphere. The time dependent equation for radiative transfer in a plane parallel gray atmosphere ...

Abstract: The infrared contributions to the heat budget by the 15 µ CO2, 9.6 µ O2, and 80 µ H2O bands are evaluated for the upper stratosphere, mesosphere and lower thermosphere as a function of latitude for both summer and winter. ...

Abstract: The significance of the low-level jet in the development of nocturnal thunderstorms over the Midwest through the production of regions of convergence was investigated for an area centered at Omaha, Nebraska. A composite ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional model of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of ozone in the tropical middle stratosphere is derived based on assumed (observed) zonal wind QBO in a coupled dynamic, radiative/ photochemical system. It ...

Abstract: The distributions of minor atmospheric constituents, principally O3 and O(3P), and their contributions to the heat sources and sinks in the earth?s middle atmosphere (30?100 km) are investigated. The latitudinal and seasonal ...

Abstract: Visual observations of cloud cover are hindered at night due to inadequate illumination of the clouds. This usually leads to an underestimation of the average cloud cover at night, especially for the amounts of middle and ...

Abstract: Cloud observations from land stations and from ships in the ocean are used to investigate the frequency of observation and the co-occurrence of different cloud types, and the geographical and seasonal variations of these ...
