Abstract: During nearly five weeks in China (May?June 1981), the author visited scientific institutions and experiment stations engaged in agricultural meteorology and climatology research and teaching. The facilities, studies, and ...

Abstract: The concentration of CO2 in air sampled above a sugar beet crop was measured during July, August, and early September 1966 at Scottsbluff, Nebr. During July the mean daytime concentration decreased from 310 ppm to 283 ppm ...

Abstract: The rate of evapotranspiration by irrigated alfalfa at Mead, NE (41°09?N; 96°30?W, elevation 354 m) reached record levels in 1976. Evapotranspiration was measured with precision weighing lysimeters in a field 1.9 ha in ...

Abstract: Most reports show good agreement between evapotranspiration (ET) rates estimated by the Bowen Ratio-Energy Balance (BREB) method and rates measured with lysimeters, although underestimation by the BREB model has occasionally ...

Abstract: Historical frost events (minimum shelter temperature ≤32° F.) were studied at 10 locations within and adjacent to the Platte Valley of Nebraska and the cause of these frosts was determined with the aid of synoptic maps. ...

Abstract: Severe and widespread drought occurred over a large portion of the United States between 1974 and 1977. Impacts on agriculture and other industries, as well as local water supplies, were substantial. The federal government ...

Abstract: Detailed knowledge of the advection of sensible heat is necessary to understand the energy balance of the evaporating surface in many parts of the world. Sensible heat advection can result from regional and/or local sources. ...

Abstract: Results are presented of micrometeorological measurements made over alfalfa and soybeans under conditions of sensible heat advection at Mead, Neb. The sensible heat advection phenomenon reported here is of a regional rather ...

Abstract: Thermal inversions induced by regional advection dominate the daytime climate of the central Great Plains during much of the growing season. The influence of these inversions on the turbulent transfer of momentum, sensible ...
