Abstract: The dependence of plume growth rate on plume size is discussed. It is shown that the growth rates estimated by techniques used in some widely distributed puff models can be in error by as much as two orders of magnitude, ...

Abstract: Multiresolution feature analysis (MFA), as originally proposed for estimating the fractal dimension of two-dimensional scalar fields, is described. MFA applies specified correlation filters to a data field (such as a ...

Abstract: Two atmospheric stability classification schemes have been applied using National Weather Service data from Lambert Field in St. Louis. The results are compared with wind direction fluctuation and insolation measurements ...

Abstract: This paper describes a program of aerosol measurements made in the fall of 1965 at Cape Blanco and Crater Lake, Ore. Aerosol size distributions were determined with a Royco light-scattering type particle counter and with ...

Abstract: Observed winds and temperature profiles can be used to generate three-dimensional, mass-conserving wind fields that reflect topographical influences. The concept of critical dividing streamlines is used to define ...

Abstract: Empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) have been determined for three wind datasets from stations in valleys south of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Two of the datasets were for summer months, with individual days selected ...

Abstract: Terrain features and variations in the depth of the atmospheric boundary layer produce local variations in wind, and these variations are not depicted well by standard weather reports. We have developed a diagnostic model ...
