RADAR DETECTION OF A FRONTAL STORM 18 JUNE 1946
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theory of radar storm detection is briefly stated and applied to detection of the frontal storm of 18 June 1946. The precipitation pattern associated with the front is found to be a series of overlapping line squalls ...
The Variation of the Mean Temperature of an Overshotting Top with Angle of View from a Satellite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean difference in temperature ??T between a cirrus deck and an overshooting top in the shapes of an entire hemisphere and a spherical segment of a hemisphere is determined theoretically for different angles of view ...
TIROS AND RADAR OBSERVATIONS OF A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OVER FLORIDA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An east-west line of thunderstorms passed southward into the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida peninsula. A large complex with an extensive anvil developed over the Gulf. The cold air outflow to the south of this storm was ...
RADAR ECHOES FROM A GROWING THUNDERSTORM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theoretical growth of hail and the behavior of the first radar echo in a cumulus cloud are analyzed. Good agreement is found between the theory and the observations of Workman and Reynolds.
Relative Frequency and Diurnal Variation of High Cold Clouds in the Tropical Atlantic and Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The percentage of cold clouds ?240 K was tabulated from Nimbus-5 data in 2° latitude-longitude squares over tropical oceans in the North Atlantic and Pacific for day (1130 LST) and night (2330 LST). The maximum percentage ...
RADAR ANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION STREAMERS OBSERVED 25 FEBRUARY 1954
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A radar study of the streamers of 25 February 1954 at Cambridge, Mass., indicates that horizontal bands of rain are produced by the action of wind shear on the precipitation particles. It is suggested that a ?generating ...
Wind Measurement by Conventional Radar with a Dual Beam pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of measuring wind velocities by a dual beam modification to conventional (non-Doppler) radars is described. The two beams are disposed slightly to either side of the antenna bore-sight axis. This results in a ...
