THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SUB-MICRON PARTICLES IN THE STRATOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)The vertical distribution of stratospheric particles with an average radius of 0.15 micron is presented in the form of five vertical profiles. These show a broad maximum in numerical concentration between 15 and 23 km, and ... -
VECTOR LINE DIFFERENTIATIONS IN ORTHOGONAL CURVILINEAR CO-ORDINATES IN DYNAMIC METEOROLOGY AND WEATHER FORECASTING
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF DROPLET FREEZING
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Laboratory experimentation was undertaken to investigate the effects of various soluble and insoluble nuclei on the freezing temperature of water droplets. The freezing temperature and size of over 15,000 droplets were ... -
THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PARTICLE SIZE SPECTRUM OF STRATOSPHERIC AEROSOL
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)An equation is derived for the time rate of change of the size spectrum function of the stratospheric aerosol. Based on the assumption of local equilibrium between the effects of coagulation and sedimentation, a form is ... -
THE DISTORTION OF BAROCLINIC INSTABILITY CRITERIA BY FINITE DIFFERENCES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
FURTHER STUDIES OF THE BACK-SCATTERING CROSS-SECTIONS OF WATER DROPS AND WET AND DRY ICE SPHERES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)By using laboratory techniques described in a previous paper, results of the measurements of the back-scattering cross-sections of falling water drops and suspended ice spheres are presented for wavelengths of 1.50 and ... -
NON-PARAMETRIC METHODS OF ANALYSIS APPLIED TO LARGE-SCALE CLOUD-SEEDING EXPERIMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
TERRESTRIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY OF CLOUDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Measurements of heights of clouds and the vertical velocities and accelerations of cloud outlines can be made from stereo pairs of photographs taken at regular time intervals. Two methods of obtaining these measurements ... -
COMPARISON OF RADIATIVE DIVERGENCE NEAR THE GROUND WITH BLACK-BALL MEASUREMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
ON RADAR DETECTION OF NON-SPHERICAL ICE PARTICLES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -

A TEST OF THE REALITY OF RAINFALL SINGULARITIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
NEED FOR MEASURING HORIZONTAL GRADIENTS IN DETERMINING VERTICAL EDDY TRANSFERS OF HEAT AND MOISTURE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Contrary to the usual assumption that shear stress is constant with height for a short distance above the ground, wind-tunnel tests with change in floor roughness by Jacobs (1939) and with flow over change of level by Tani ... -
A FEW FOG DROP-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)An independent calibration of an instrument called a Particle Counter and the resulting fog drop-size distributions are discussed. The distributions exhibit an increasing number of droplets with decreasing size. The magnitude ... -
ON THE ACCURACY OF AIR TRAJECTORY COMPUTATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)The accuracy of the horizontal meteorological trajectories is investigated in respect to several influential factors. The conclusions are based on ?objective? trajectories computed by the electronic computer. It was found ... -
WATER-VAPOR TRANSFER OVER THE AUSTRALIAN CONTINENT
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)For the calendar year 1956, daily observations of wind and humidity at eight atmospheric levels extending from the earth's surface up to the 400-mb level are used to compute average annual and seasonal vertically integrated ... -
A SEMIAUTOMATIC AIRBORNE AEROSOL SAMPLER
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)A semiautomatic aerosol sampler, designed to use Millipore filter material, is described. The operating mechanism is an adaptation of an automatic slide-changer assembly. By enclosing the sampler in an aerodynamic housing, ... -
ON THE ROLE OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM OF WINTER IN THE ATMOSPHERIC GENERAL CIRCULATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Calculations of budgets of heat, angular momentum and kinetic energy for the tropical latitudes are obtained in a coordinate system following the subtropical jet stream axis at the 200-mb surface. Comparisons of the fluxes ... -
THEORETICAL TIME CONSTANT AND RADIATION ERROR OF A ROCKETSONDE THERMISTOR
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)The time constant for a ten-mil-diameter, spherical-bead thermistor is determined as a function of height in a standard atmosphere from sea level to 100 km. Evaluations are made for continuous, slip, and free-molecular ... -
METEOROLOGICAL PERIODICITIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)A search is made for periodicities in a wide variety of meteorological variables. The principal part of the study is limited to periods in the interval from one year to two days, although in the case of two of the variables ...
