Abstract: From dimensional arguments Sutton in 1932 proposed a power law form for the Lagrangian autocorrelation, R(?). The resulting diffusion equations have been widely used. There have been very few experimental determinations ...

Abstract: The standard deviations of azimuth and elevation angle have been determined at Douglas Point, Ontario (at a height of 82 ft), and at Paisley, ten miles distant (at a height of 50 ft), on about 500 occasions during the early ...

Abstract: Many of the atmospheric anomalies that occur around built-up areas were described qualitatively in the last century. Stimulated no doubt by the 1968 WMO Brussels Symposium on Urban Climates and by the present widespread ...

Abstract: A theoretical expression is derived for the root-mean-square vertical-eddy fluctuation in terms of the friction velocity, the height and Monin and Obukhov's function ?. Steady-state conditions and constant shearing stress ...

Abstract: An instrument for direct measurement of vapor pressure and vapor pressure gradient (and similarly for temperature) has been designed and constructed. Thermistors are used as wet-and dry-bulb thermometers in the adjacent ...

Abstract: Metropolitan Toronto (population of about 2,160,000 and area of 2282 km2) is on the north shore of Lake Ontario (area of 19,400 km2). The interaction between the daytime urban heat island and the lake circulation is studied ...
