      • TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING FORMATION AND DISSIPATION OF WEST COAST STRATUS 

        Neiburger, Morris (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        At three-hourly intervals during three 24- to 48-hour periods in the summer of 1943, radiosonde observations were made at the University of California at Los Angeles; to ascertain the changes in vertical temperature ...

      • THE RECURVATURE OF TROPICAL STORMS 

        Riehl, Herbert; Shafer, Robert J. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        The relations between major alterations of the paths of tropical storms and the upper windfield, especially changes in the height of the base of the polar westerlies, are examined in detail. If the base lowers greatly west ...

      • TEMPERATURE AND TURBULENCE IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE 

        Beers, Norman R. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        The equation of turbulent transfer is derived from first principles, following Taylor, to focus attention on the physical nature of eddy diffusivity in the atmosphere. The equation is here extended to ?polytropic? atmospheric ...

      • DETERMINATION OF THE NORMAL REGIONS OF HEATING AND COOLING IN THE ATMOSPHERE BY MEANS OF AEROLOGICAL DATA 

        Wexler, Harry (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        By use of the normal February values of pressure at sea level and at 10,000 feet, the mean isotherms and the ?mean? isobars for this layer are computed and plotted on a weather chart. Assuming that the normal mean isotherms ...

      • SATURATION AND COOLING OF AIR LAYERS BY EVAPORATION FROM FALLING RAIN 

        Dolezel, Edward J. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        The changes in temperature and relative humidity caused by evaporation from raindrops are computed for several cases involving three different lapse rates and two rainfall intensities. Formulae for evaporation from stationary ...

      • ON THE THEORY OF CYCLONES 

        Bjerknes, J.; Holmboe, J. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        The ?tendency equation? is applied to analyze the pressure changes produced in wave-shaped westerly flow. With sufficiently strong westerlies horizontal divergence and convergence occur in such distribution as to cause ...

      • UPSLOPE WEATHER ALONG THE INLAND ALASKA AIR ROUTE 

        Kolb, Louis L.; Goodmanson, Murel M. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        The importance of upslope circulation and its accompanying weather phenomena is discussed as a major factor influencing aircraft operation along the portion of the Inland Alaska Air Route which lies east of the Rocky ...

      • STUDIES OF THE MOTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LONG WAVES IN THE WESTERLIES 

        Namias, Jerome; Clapp, Philip F. (American Meteorological Society, 1944)
        In order to subdue small scale irregular features of the atmospheric circulation and emphasize the large-scale flow patterns, five-day mean charts showing the pressure distribution at 10,000 feet are presented. It is shown ...

        Unknown author (American Meteorological Society, 1945)

      • Note on Inertial Oscillations 

        Starr, Joanne Gerould (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        No Abstract Available

      • Letters to the Editor 

        Unknown author (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        tract

      • METEOROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PRECIPITATION STATIC 

        Edwards, Robert C.; Brock, George W. (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        Precipitation static, a result of electrification of aircraft in flight, can cause loss of radio communication for long periods of time. Electrification may consist of either of two types, ?autogenous? or ?exogenous? ...

      • THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE TROPICAL AND EQUATORIAL ATMOSPHERE 

        Fletcher, Robert D. (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        Recent experiences with tropical meteorology around the world have brought to light the frequent existence of a zonal band of west winds in the vicinity of the equator, which appears not to be associated with the westerlies ...

      • ADVECTION OF AIR AND THE FORECASTING OF PRESSURE CHANGES 

        Haurwitz, Bernhard; Collaborators (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        The advection method of preparing prognostic pressure charts was tested using a number of different procedures. First, it was assumed that the density change at a given level can be regarded as representative of the density ...

      • Water Transport of Surface Waves 

        Starr, Victor P. (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        No Abstract Available

      • ON THE PROPAGATION OF FREQUENCIES AND ENERGY IN CERTAIN TYPES OF OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC WAVES 

        Rossby, C-G. (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        In this paper the energy and frequency propagation in certain types of plane waves in the atmosphere and in the ocean are investigated, these wave trains being characterized by the property that frequency and wave number ...

      • A Statistical Study of the Deepening and Filling of Extratropical Cyclones 

        Hess, Seymour (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        No Abstract Available

      • A Buoy Automatic Weather Station 

        Middleton, W. E. Knowles; Coffey, L. E. (American Meteorological Society, 1945)

      • AN INVESTIGATION OF THE FREE OSCILLATIONS OF A SIMPLE CURRENT SYSTEM 

        Cahn, Albert (American Meteorological Society, 1945)
        Any sudden local addition of momentum to a rotating fluid body will generally result in some type of oscillation of that body. In the case of the ocean, this oscillation will include the form of ?long? or ?tidal? waves. A ...
