Abstract: Ice fog, which is in a way similar to a dense cirrostratus cloud near the surface, occurs in Fairbanks when the temperature drops below ?35°C. The heat balance of two stations, one below the ice fog in the valley and the ...

Abstract: The heat balance was estimated and climatic elements were compared for two stations in the Fairbanks area on a year-round basis, the first study of this kind carried out in the interior of Alaska. Although the stations ...

Abstract: Detailed insulation measurements have been carried out in Fairbanks for the last four years. Beginning on 15 November 1982, these measurements showed substantial changes, believed to be due to the dust cloud of El Chichón. ...

Abstract: Low-level inversions up to 200 m were investigated on a statistical basis for Fairbanks, Alaska, using hourly data for the year March 1967 to February 1968. Surface inversions were found to be present for more than 50% of ...

Abstract: Short-term heat balance studies were carried out for three surfaces?moraine, ice and snow?in a partly glacierized watershed in Arctic Alaska, for an 11-day period in summer 1971. It was found that the radiation balances ...

Abstract: Five years of detailed radiation measurements were taken at Fairbanks, Alaska. These data showed that the El Chichón volcanic cloud had a major impact on the surface radiative regime, the maximum of which was observed in ...

Abstract: The 1976 Pacific climate shift is examined, and its manifestations and significance in Alaskan climatology during the last half-century are demonstrated. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation index shifted in 1976 from dominantly ...

Abstract: A complete but budget investigation was carried out in summer at a site in Adelie Land, some 100 km from the edge of the Antarctic ice sheet. For an average day, the all wave radiation budget based on the fluxes toward the ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU?NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) is being used for forecasting the atmospheric layers of aircraft condensation trail (contrail) ...

Abstract: During the austral summer of 1982/83, measurements of wind and temperature profiles were made through the atmospheric boundary layer in Adelie Land, East Antarctica, an area known for strong katabatic winds. It was found ...
