VERIFICATION OF STATISTICAL HEMISPHERICAL PREDICTIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)A statistical procedure for forecasting the 500-mb contour height at grid points around the hemisphere is verified. Coefficients of Tschebycheff polynomials are used as predictors, and these are tested on an independent ... -
LAGRANGIAN DYNAMICS AND THE PARCEL METHOD IN ATMOSPHERIC MODELS
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)The Lagrangian ?parcel method? of stability analysis is systematically presented and rendered rigorous in its application to nondivergent flow on a plane with constant Coriolis parameter. The method is applied in detail ... -
AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF THE SEA BREEZE
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)A series of observations of the sea breeze has been made along a portion of the New England coast near Block Island, Rhode Island. These observations are presented in vertical cross-sections approximately 30 mi long ... -
LIGHTNING AND THE ORIGIN OF NITRATES FOUND IN PRECIPITATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
THE SPECTRAL FORM OF THE VORTICITY EQUATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)The nonlinear aspects of the vorticity equation for two-dimensional planetary circulations of the earth's atmosphere may be studied by expansion of the solution in spherical surface harmonics. Some of the main mathematical ... -
AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE DIABATIC MIXING-LENGTH
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
FREEZING NUCLEI FROM INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -

SEASONAL HEAT STORAGE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)The seasonal range in heat content of the upper two hundred meters of the water column has been calculated for latitude zones between 20N and 65N in the North Atlantic. The calculation was based on 20,000 bathythermograph ... -
NOTE ON THE SUPPRESSION OF THE OSCILLATION (WEAK INSTABILITY) OF FIRST-FORWARD-THEN-CENTERED TIME DIFFERENCES IN NUMERICAL INTEGRATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE TROPOSPHERIC RADIATION BALANCE AND CERTAIN METEOROLOGICAL QUANTITIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
APPARENT DIURNAL TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS FROM RADIOSONDE OBSERVATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
ICE NUCLEATION BY SILVER IODIDE: I. FREEZING VS SUBLIMATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)The ability of silver-iodide particles to act as ice nuclei has been studied under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. Particles up to 100Å in radius are largely ineffective as ice nuclei unless the humidity, ... -
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE FLOW OF HEAT THROUGH COLD SNOW
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)No Abstract Available -
STRATOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND THE ASSOCIATED CHANGES IN PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)It has been 6 years since the last pronounced case of an ?explosive? stratospheric warming was observed over Berlin. This stratospheric warming began over southeastern Europe on 20 January 1958, a few days after a considerable ... -
THE TIME-SPACE SPECTRUM OF THE GEOSTROPHIC MERIDIONAL KINETIC ENERGY
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)Variance (power) spectra of time series (7? yr) of the individual Fourier components of the meridional geostrophic kinetic energy at 500 mb are presented. The spectra show a pronounced annual period. No other significant ... -
EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL-VORTICITY CHANGES NEAR THE TROPOPAUSE AND THE RELATED VERTITCAL MOTIONS, VERTICAL ADVECTION OF VORTPCITY, AND TRANSFER OF RADIOACTIVE DEBRIS FROM STRATOSPHERE TO TROPOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)Individual potential-vorticity change, vertical motion, vertical advection of vorticity and flow from stratosphere to troposphere are evaluated at different levels and for different times in an extratropical disturbance. ... -
DESIGN OF A PROGRAM OF A RANDOMIZED SEEDING OF OROGRAPHIC CUMULI
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)From studies of the properties of convective clouds over the mountains of southeastern Arizona, it was found that many failed to precipitate even though they were supercooled and were quite deep. A carefully controlled ... -
THE ACCURACY OF WINDS DERIVED BY THE RADAR TRACKING OF CHAFF AT HIGH ALTITUDES
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)The accuracy and significance of a series of wind measurements at Johnston Island are discussed. The manner in which the chaff responds to changes in the wind is deduced from the observed rates of fall. The standard error ... -
UNREST IN THE UPPER STRATOSPHERE OVER THE CARIBBEAN SEA DURING JANUARY 1960
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)Wind observations were taken at a network of stations around the Caribbean from 100,000 to 120,000 ft altitude in January 1960. After an initial period of strong but variable easterly winds, a large disturbance emanated ...
