Abstract: A previous study by the author of January temperatures in the mid-stratosphere at several arctic stations near 80W has been extended to include stations in other sectors of the Arctic and the additional months of December ...

Abstract: Revised means, frequency distributions and other statistics based on ten years of January temperature observations at the 200-, 100- and 50-mb levels are presented for four arctic stations. The frequency distributions are ...

Abstract: Some effects of the western mountain complex of North America on cyclones are investigated from the standpoint of how the vorticity tendency field might be influenced by orographically-induced vertical motion and divergence. ...

Abstract: Irregularities in sea-surface sunglint patterns have been frequently noticed in photographs from earth-orbiting satellites. High-resolution color photographs from low-altitude manned spacecraft missions have shown small-scale ...

Abstract: Multi-window infrared measurements, together with visual channel observations, enable relatively high-resolution and accurate local, regional, and global retrievals of ocean surface temperatures to be repetitively and ...

Abstract: The thermal structure of the troposphere and lower stratosphere during the movement eastward of several Pacific troughs is examined primarily from the standpoint of the distribution of baroclinity within a vertical plane ...

Abstract: Errors in operational forecasts produced by high-speed electronic computers can be classed broadly into two categories: (1) those resulting from inadequacies of the dynamic model, and (2) those resulting from poor specification ...

Abstract: An algorithm for the remote sensing of global cloud cover using multispectral radiance measurements from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on board National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ...

Abstract: A case is made for the detection of melting snow or ice using multispectral remote sensing from earth satellites. Snow and thick ice are highly reflective in both the visible and the near-infrared portions of the electromagnetic ...
