Visual Resolution and Optical Scintillation in Stable Stratification over Snow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of turbulent fluctuations of atmospheric density are seen as rapid changes in the brightness of a distant light source (scintillation) and in the position and size of distant objects (shimmer). The results of ...
Volcanic Effects on Turbidity and Irradiances and Their Dependence on Surface Wind Direction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar irradiances, atmospheric turbidity and meteorological variables measured at the University of Michigan are analyzed to determine effects of the 30 m wind direction on irradiance and turbidity changes caused by the ...
Coastal Meteorological Networks to Determine Effects of Nuclear Plant Cooling Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Twenty-five meteorological stations are in operation inland from two nuclear power plants located on the Lake Michigan shoreline in southwestern lower Michigan. Their purpose is to provide data to enable meteorological ...
Effects of the El Chichon Volcanic Cloud on Direct and Diffuse Solar Irradiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct normal and diffuse solar irradiances and 500 nm aerosol optical depths measured at the University of Michigan departed far from normal on 26 October 1982, when it is concluded that the main stratospheric cloud from ...
Effects of the Mount St. Helens Volcanic Cloud on Turbidity at Ann Arbor, Michigan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of turbidity were made at the University of Michigan irradiance and meteorological measurement facility just prior to, during and after the passage of the volcanic cloud from the 18 May 1980 eruption of Mount ...
