RISA Practical Approach to Flux Measurements of Long Duration in the Marine Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The practical limitations imposed by the marine environment on the principal flux-measurement methods for experiments requiring more than a few days? duration are examined. Reservations are presented as to the suitability ...
Albedo Following Fire in a Northern Hardwood Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes in albedo were tracked following fire on 18 August 1980 in a successional hardwood forest in northern lower Michigan (43°33?N, 84°42?W). Shortwave albedo (300?3000 nm) changed little with zenith angle up to 55°, ...
The Icing of an Unheated, Nonrotating Cylinder. Part I: A Simulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model is described which simulates icing on an unheated, non-rotating cylinder. Both rime and glaze ice can be accounted for. The model computes the thermodynamic conditions and the initial icing rate as a function of ...
Rainfall Measurement Accuracy in FACE: A Comparison of Gage and Radar Rainfalls
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The agreement of radar with raingage rainfall measurements during the second phase of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE-2) is examined. FACE-2 rainfall was measured in a 1.3 ? 104 km2 target area using 111 nearly ...
A Quasi-Three-Dimensional Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A quasi-three-dimensional global climate model designed to trace the transient evolution of climate is described. The model, which has an interactive ocean, differs from earlier models in including a 5-layer atmospheric ...
Power Ratio Estimation in Incoherent Backscatter Lidar: Heterodyne Receiver with Square Law Detection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparative return irradiance estimation in a two channel heterodyne lidar receiver should be facilitated by processing finite data samples obtained in a period short compared with that of atmospheric fluctuations affecting ...
A Model for Estimating One-Minute Rainfall Rates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for estimating one-minute rainfall rates has been developed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. The model is made up of six regression equations to estimate rates that are equalled or exceeded 0.01, 0.05, ...
A Climatology of Mean Monthly Snowfall for the Conterminous United States: Temporal and Spatial Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean monthly snowfall data for 216 stations across the conterminous United States were analyzed to produce a climatology that identifies statistical, spatial and intraseasonal aspects. Geographic variations in the length ...
Experimental Study of an Artificial Thermal Plume in the Boundary Layer. Part III: Dynamic Structure within the Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental study of the dynamics within artificial thermal plumes rising in the boundary layer is presented. In this third part, measurements just above the heat source and aircraft investigations in the plume aloft ...
Regional and Seasonal Variations of Surface Reflectance from Satellite Observations at 0.6 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global series of seasonal visible surface reflectance maps derived from NOAA-5 Scanning Radiometer observations is presented. Methods for isolating clear-sky observations from satellite data are evaluated and the magnitude ...
