RISOn the Use of Wet Bulb Temperature as an Environmental Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cooling capacity of an atmospheric environment is examined with respect to a wet object of a given surface temperature. The maximum cooling capacity (MCC) is defined as the sum of the sensible and latent heat fluxes ...
Temporal and Spatial Behavior of Large-Scale Disturbances in Tropical Cloudiness Deduced from Satellite Brightness Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale cloud field in the latitude belt 35°S?35°N is studied using satellite brightness data for the periods May 1967 to October 1967, and November 1967 to Apfil 1968. Time and space-time spectrum and longitude-time ...
On the Presentation and Interpretation of Spectra of Large-Scale Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several area-conserving transformations of the power spectrum and their presentation and interpretation are discussed. The presentation of the power density multiplied by frequency on a natural logarithm of frequency scale ...
Upper Tropospheric Waves in the Tropics. Part I: Dynamical Analysis in the Wavenumber-Frequency Domain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Space and time spectra of large-scale wave disturbances at the 200 mb level in the latitude belt 20°S to 40°N are studied based on wind data for the period June?August 1967. The kinetic energy of the transient waves shows ...
Investigation of the Large-Scale Atmospheric Moisture Field over the Midwestern United States in Relation to Summer Precipitation. Part II: Recycling of Local Evapotranspiration and Association with Soil Moisture and Crop Yields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative contributions of locally evapotranspired (i.e., recycled) moisture versus externally advected water vapor for the growing-season precipitation of the U.S. Corn Belt and surrounding areas (1.23 ? 106 km2) are ...
Investigation of Large-Scale Atmospheric Moisture Budget and Land Surface Interactions over U.S. Southern Great Plains including for CLASIC (June 2007)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he atmospheric moisture budget and surface interactions for the southern Great Plains are evaluated for contrasting May?June periods (1998, 2002, 2006, and 2007) as background for the Cloud and Land Surface Interaction ...
Investigation of the Large-Scale Atmospheric Moisture Field over the Midwestern United States in relation to Summer Precipitation. Part I: Relationships between Moisture Budget Components on Different Timescales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric moisture budget components are evaluated for a large area (1.23 ? 106 km2) in the midwestern United States for all 12-h (1200?0000, 0000?1200 UTC) and 24-h (1200?1200 UTC) periods during the contrasting summers ...
Estimating the Role of Local Evaporation in Precipitation for a Two-Dimensional Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Budyko's model for estimating the contributions of locally evaporated and advected moisture to regional precipitation is extended to two dimensions. It is shown that a simple extension by analogy of the one-dimensional ...
