Abstract: Energy production, distribution, and use will need to be continuously ?managed? into the indefinite future. Part of this management will involve an understanding of how our future energy uses will affect the global environment ...

Abstract: Long-wave radiation loss maps, based on Explorer VII measurements of terrestrial radiation at night, are analyzed and compared with composite nephanalyses and frontal analyses. Results indicate a definite relationship ...

Abstract: We present results on cloud motions on Venus obtained over a period of 3.5 days from Mariner 10 television images. The implied atmosphere flow is almost zonal everywhere on the visible disk, and is in the same retrograde ...

Abstract: According to radiometersonde observations, the net vertical flux divergence of infrared radiation is positively correlated with the outward flux at the top of the atmosphere. Measurements of the latter quantity from the ...

Abstract: Following a brief review of the assumptions involved in the usual (Laplacian) expression for the speed of sound waves, an instrument, the sonic thermometer, is described which utilizes this relationship to measure the air ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes an extended time series of measurements of the earth's radiation budget from the first and second generation United States meteorological satellites. Values of planetary albedo, infrared radiant ...

Abstract: This study describes a method for determining the reflection of sunlight to space and absorption by the earth and atmosphere, using low-resolution radiometer data from earth satellites. The method has been used with TIROS ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a digital measurement (?chirp?) system which has application for a wide range of meteorological and earth satellite measurements. The system employs a simple concept in which a voltage pulse, proportional ...
