Observations of Atmospheric Structure During Summer in a Coastal Mountain Basin in Northwest Oregon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 53 days in the summer of 1966 continuous hygrothermograph records were obtained at 6 points along a north-south transect of the 11-km wide Valsetz Basin in the Oregon Coast Range. The 6 records sampled both north ...
BUDGETS OF SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTS UNDER SEA-BREEZE ADVECTION IN WESTERN OREGON
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to provide basic information on micrometeorology as related to forest-fire weather and forest regeneration, a series of measurements was made in the central Oregon Coast Range. Net radiation flux, soil heat storage, ...
Clear-Sky Direct-Beam Solar Radiation Versus Altitude: A Proposal for Standard Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The author reexamines Klein's (1948) quantitative statements relating clear-sky direct-beam solar radiation to altitude for the lower troposphere, which are of the form (transmissivity) = B + A log (altitude). Klein's ...
Empirical Estimation of Urban Effects on Climate: A Problem Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Doubt exists among atmospheric scientists about current estimates of local and regional effects of urbanization on climate, but not generally about the existence of these urban effects. This paper presents a framework for ...
An Attempt to Detect the Effects of a Steelworks on Precipitation Amounts in Central Hungary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily precipitation amounts from a 20-station network within 50 km of a major steelworks at Dunaujváros have been analysed in two ways for a decade preceding construction of the works in the late 1950's and a decade ...
Errors in Infrared Thermometry and Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes an error apparently unrecognized among atmospheric scientists engaged in infrared thermometry and radiometry. The error results from multiple reflections between the target environment viewed by a ...
