CALCULATIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC INFRARED RADIATION AS SEEN FROM A METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since certain constituents (water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide, etc.) of the atmosphere have pronounced absorption and emission bands in the infrared region of the spectrum, the radiation which is radiated upward from the ...
CHEMICAL HEATING ABOVE THE POLAR MESOPAUSE IN WINTER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Earlier predictions that the upper atmosphere at high latitudes is warmer in winter than in summer in the region between about 70 and 100 km have been verified during the IGY by direct temperature measurements with rockets. ...
ON THE COMPUTATION OF WIND FROM PRESSURE DATA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From a statistical analysis of geostrophic- and gradient-wind computations for all stations reporting winds on two 700-mb charts, it is shown that there is a variability of about 25 per cent in the computations by different ...
