Abstract: The application of the maximum plume rise formula for bent-over industrial plumes to visible cooling tower plumes depends on the validity of two assumptions: the neglect of finite source size and the neglect of condensation ...

Abstract: The one-dimensional theory for the condensation of buoyant plumes is extended to include supersaturation as an extra variable. An additional equation describing the dynamics of droplet growth is used to make the system ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a numerical solution of the equations of moist plume rise and compares the trajectories of wet and dry cooling tower and scrubbed industrial plumes under a wide range of atmospheric ...

Abstract: A new technique in statistical crop-climate analysis, the direct linking of spatial patterns of crop yield and spatial patterns of climate, is explored. Yield and climate data from networks of crop reporting districts and ...

Abstract: The theory of growth of dry plumes is extended to include the effects of moisture in both the vapor and liquid forms. A relation determining the point at which a moist plume first condenses is derived. Numerical solutions ...

Abstract: The theory of moist bent-over plume behavior given by Csanady and by Wigley and Slawson is expanded and clarified to illustrate the differences between moist and dry plume behavior under various atmospheric stability ...

Abstract: The reliability of the Australian (June 1972?April 1985) and NOTOS (1957?62) gridded monthly-mean, mean sea level pressure datasets over Antarctica is examined by comparison with station data from 29 sites over the continent. ...

Abstract: Scenarios for Europe in a warmer world, such as may result from increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, have been constructed using the early 20th century warming as an analogue. Mean temperature, Precipitation and ...

Abstract: In a number of areas of applied climatology, time series are either averaged to enhance a common underlying signal or combined to produce area averages. How well, then, does the average of a finite number (N) of time series ...

Abstract: We have produced, using objective techniques, a long-term series of average Northern Hemisphere temperatures based on monthly mean station data gridded on a 5° latitude by 10° longitude grid. Difficulties in the estimation ...
