RADAR AND WEATHER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper a brief discussion of the use of radar in meteorology is presented. The appearance of various weather phenomena on radar scopes is described and a number of radar photographs of thunderstorms, cold fronts and ...
A STUDY OF NON-GEOSTROPHIC FLOW WITH APPLICATIONS TO THE MECHANISM OF PRESSURE CHANGES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface pressure changes can occur only when an accelerational field exists. The regularity of occurrence, the distribution, and the magnitudes of the accelerational fields found in the atmosphere have been determined from ...
THE INFLUENCE OF THE FIELD OF HORIZONTAL DIVERGENCE ON CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By means of a modification of the slice method of Bjerknes and Petterssen, the effects on the convective cloudiness of a net inflow to, or outflow from, the region under consideration are examined. The results give a ...
METHODS OF COMPUTING VERTICAL MOTION IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theory of a number of different techniques for the computation of vertical motion in the atmosphere is discussed. A comparison of two independent techniques shows that both usually yield vertical velocities of the ...
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ATMOSPHERE UP TO 100 KM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results of new calculations of temperature, pressure, density, and other physical quantities in the stratosphere up to an elevation of 100 km are given and discussed.
ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE WIND FIELD AND PRESSURE CHANGES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown on the evidence of observational material that the simplifications necessary in order to derive the equation for the isallobaric wind are not justified, because the neglected terms in the equations of motion, ...
CYCLOGENESIS IN THE ATLANTIC COASTAL REGION OF THE UNITED STATES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cyclones originating in the Atlantic coastal region of the United States are classified into two types, and the characteristics of each type as determined from a study of 208 cyclones over a period of ten years are discussed. ...
THE MOTION OF HARMONIC WAVES IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With the assumption of nondivergent horizontal flow, harmonic wave solutions of the complete vorticity equation are obtained both for the plane and for the sphere. These solutions yield, for the velocity of propagation of ...
