Abstract: A technique for viewing stereo-pairs of photographs is described. Stereo-pairs are used to illustrate the slender structure of cumulus clouds generally observed during the Winter and Summer Monsoon Experiments; the visual ...

Abstract: Confusion has existed as to sources of entropy due to irreversible processes in the atmosphere, the total of which matches the export of entropy by radiation. What is the mechanical efficiency of convection? For an ideal ...

Abstract: Aircraft data from Winter MONEX have been combined with other data to study mesoscale features, and organization of cumulus clouds, on 10?12 December 1978. A moderate cold surge in the northeasterly monsoon flow, toward ...

Abstract: Equations for photogrammetry from an aircraft nose camera movie are based on angles from a fixed point on the horizon toward which the aircraft is flying. The positions and dimensions of an arc of clouds occurring on day ...

Abstract: Summer MONEX aircraft flight level and dropwindsonde data have been used to examine the central core structure of a mature Bay of Bengal monsoon depression on 7 July 1979. Continuous aircraft data including cloud photographs ...

Abstract: A new method is described for photogrammetry of clouds from aircraft side camera movies, to take into account cloud motion. In extreme circumstances of measurement, this leads to improvements of 500 m in cloud height. ...

Abstract: A monsoon depression over the Bay of Bengal on 7 July 1979 has been studied using a variety of observations, in particular, cloud photographs from aircraft. Ascent in the lower troposphere was concentrated in mesoscale ...

Abstract: Refinements have been made to a standard procedure for calculating vertical air velocities from parameters measured routinely during flights by the Electra aircraft of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Accuracies ...

Abstract: A transmissometer has been used to provide a continuous record with good time resolution of falling snow. The pulsed light, of wavelength 0.45?, traversed a path 71 m long about 20 m above ground level A total snow amount ...
