Fog and Tidal Current Connection at Cape Cod Canal—Early Recognition and Recent Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Notes by Gardner Emmons about the initiation of low advective fogs on Cape Cod are presented. Subsequent measurements made in these fogs confirm his suggestion that mixing and temperature changes associated with tidal ...
Winds, Upwelling and Fog at Cape Cod Canal, Massachusetts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New observations confirm the formation of advective fogs over the western approaches to the Cape Cod Canal. The large air-water temperature differences required for the formation of these fogs are shown to occur when the ...
Anomalous Orographic Rains of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, of unusual rains and clouds in marine air during fresh easterly winds show that rain can form within and fall continuously from a shallow layer of warm stratocumulus in about 5 ...
Mountain Breathing Revisited—the Hyperventilation of a Volcano Cinder Cone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 23 hours of fresh to strong winds in December 1975, air flowed rapidly and continuously out of a drill hole in the top of the summit cone of Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii. Measurements made during this outflow indicate ...
ATMOSPHERIC SALT PARTICLES AND RAINDROPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marshall and Palmer (1948) have shown that, for rains of a given intensity, there is a definite distribution curve of number of raindrops of a particular range of diameter. The writer has indicated here that the chlorinity ...
Marine Fog Droplets and Salt Nuclei—Part I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water distribution in marine advection fogs, as a function of droplet size, is estimated from the weights of the salt particles found when fog droplets are evaporated, and from the weights of the salt particles found in ...
