AN INVESTIGATION OF THE FREE OSCILLATIONS OF A SIMPLE CURRENT SYSTEM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 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 ...
THE GREENLAND GlLACIAL ANTICYCLONE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The material contained in this paper is a description of the weather conditions over Greenland based on observations taken by exploring expeditions. It can be summarized as follows: Greenland is overlaid by a fixed glacial ...
INSOLATION IN RELATION TO CLOUDINESS AND CLOUD DENSITY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From records of insolation and from observations of cloudiness and cloud density obtained at Blue Hill Observatory relations have been derived which give the amount of insolation, T, to be expected on the average with a ...
A QUASI-LAGRANGIAN SYSTEM OF HYDRODYNAMICAL EQUATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper a system of hydrodynamical equations is developed which utilizes as independent variables two space coordinates and a material coordinate together with time. The space coordinates retain the same significance ...
TRANSFORMATION OF POLAR CONTINENTAL AIR TO POLAR MARITIME AIR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The changes in the content of heat and water vapor which characterize the transformation of continental-polar air as it moves out over the sea are considered. Computations indicate that these changes can be accounted for ...
SOME METEOROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE GREENLAND ICE CAP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The published results of previous investigations reveal that meteorologists and glaciologists are not in agreement as to the role of the Ice Cap as a cold source in the general circulation, the importance of the Ice Cap ...
THE USE OF PRESSURE ALTITUDE AND ALTIMETER CORRECTIONS IN METEOROLOGY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This discussion presents a scheme that has been found to be very convenient for the three-dimensional representation of the pressure and temperature fields in the atmosphere both for forecasting and for aircraft operations. ...
