A THEORY OF THE TEMPORAL AND LATITUDINAL DISTRIBUTION OF TEMPERATURE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An attempt is made to explain the observed distribution of mean temperature near the earth's surface over latitude and through the year in terms of insolation, radiative processes, and large-scale atmospheric eddy conduction ...
SOME ASPECTS OF THE METEOROLOGY OF MARS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: After a description of the important observational facts for Mars, a discussion is given of the probable vertical structure of the Martian atmosphere based upon the ideas of radiative equilibrium in the stratosphere and ...
A STUDY OF THE LARGE-SCALE SPECTRA OF SOME METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Methods are developed for determining the contribution by each harmonic wave component to the geostrophic kinetic energy of meridional and zonal motion, and to the geostrophic fluxes of angular momentum and enthalpy. ...
ATMOSPHERIC WAVES IN THE NORTHWESTERN UNITED STATES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: I. The flow of air in vertical planes across the Rocky Mountains is studied through the potential-temperature distribution. Sinusoidal configurations of the isentropes are observed which seem to correspond to theoretical ...
SOME NEW MEAN MERIDIONAL CRQSS SECTIONS THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean meridional cross sections along longitude 80°W are presented for summer and winter. The distributions of virtual temperature, virtual potential temperature, and geostrophic west wind are included. These sections ...
