Abstract: Most analytic theories and laboratory models of cumulus entrainment predict that the rate of influx of ambient fluid into a convective element depends inversely on the diameter of the updraft zone. A study of 15 continental ...

Abstract: The Doppler spectrum of radar echoes from scatterers is broadened by their motion perpendicular to the beam due to the finite beam width. This paper deals with the nature of the Doppler spectrum, its variance, and the ...

Abstract: A numerical dynamic model based on primitive equations has been developed for Lake Ontario. Many experimental tests for parameter selections and alternative formulations of physical processes in the model were carried out. ...

Abstract: Currents flowing through the Straits of Mackinac were recorded for a period of nearly 100 days during the summer and fall of 1973. Current meters were placed at four moorings on a north?south cross section at the Straits' ...
