    • GEOSTROPHIC VORTEX MOTION 

      Morikawa, G. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The concept of a geostrophic point vortex results from incorporating the geostrophic approximation in the equations of motion of the one-layer homogeneous atmosphere with a free surface. A consistent, systematic approximation ...

    • ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES AND SOLAR ACTIVITY—I. 100 MB IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AURORAL ZONE 

      Ward, Frederick W. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      An attempt is made to determine whether there are systematic temperature changes in or near the Northern Hemisphere auroral zone at 100 mb due to anomalous solar corpuscular radiation. A number of tests is conducted yielding ...

    • GEOSTROPHIC AND GRADIENT DEPARTURES IN JET STREAMS 

      Endlich, R. M.; McLean, G. S. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      Wind measurements made by aircraft of Project Jet Stream during forty-eight flights are compared with geostrophic and gradient winds (computed on upper-air charts) in order to determine geostrophic and gradient departures. ...

    • SOME EFFECTS OF THE WESTERN CORDILLERA OF NORTH AMERICA OF CYCLONIC ACTIVITY 

      McClain, E. Paul (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      Some effects of the western mountain complex of North America on cyclones are investigated from the standpoint of how the vorticity tendency field might be influenced by orographically-induced vertical motion and divergence. ...

    • APPARENT SKY TEMPERATURES IN THE MICROWAVE REGION 

      Weger, Eric (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The problem of atmospheric radiation over narrow bands in the microwave region is considered. Equations for the radiation received at a point on the earth's surface for a particular angle of observation, and also for the ...

    • FREEZING NUCLIEI ABOVE THE TROPOPAUSE 

      Telford, J. W. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      No Abstract Available

    • POSSIBLE KEY TO THE DILEMMA OF METEOROLOGICAL “ANGEL” ECHOES 

      Atlas, David (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The theory of the back-scatter from invisible atmospheric targets which are considered to be likely sources of ?angel? echoes is reviewed. Special attention is given to planes and bubbles and vapor sheaths of large radius ...

    • TORNADOES AND MOUNTAIN-WAVE EFFECT 

      aufm Kampe, Hans J. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      No Abstract Available

    • SMOOTHING AND PERSISTENCE 

      Munk, Walter H. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      No Abstract Available

    • THE APERIODIC DIURNAL RANGE OF TEMPERATURE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN 

      Rosenthal, Stanley L. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      Frequency distributions of aperiodic diurnal ranges of temperatures at 9 of the North Atlantic Ocean Vessel Stations are examined. It is found that the means, disperions, and asymmetries of these distributions are largest ...

    • SHORTER CONTRIBUTIONS 

      Brooks, H. B. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The writer has observed that large dust devils rotate cyclonically, at least near Tucson, Arizona. This implies that the dust-devil is a central feature of a convective cell whose horizontal radius is frequently a mile. A ...

    • REPLY 

      Shapiro, Ralph (American Meteorological Society, 1960)

    • DISSIPATION OF ENERGY BY ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE 

      Wilkins, Eugene M. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      No Abstract Available

    • RADAR INDICATIONS OF A PRECIPITATION-LIGHTNING RELATIONSHIP IN NEW ENGLAND THUNDERSTORMS 

      Shackford, Charles Reeve (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      Thunderstorm electrical activity in terms of surface-observed lightning-stroke rate is related to that radar-reflectivity maxima above the 0C level and to vertical profiles of radar reflectivity. This, and the fact it is ...

    • THE WIND AND TEMPERATURE SPECTRA OF THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE OVER NORTH AMERICA 

      Chiu, Wan-cheng (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The wind and temperature spectra of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over selected North American stations are constructed, by means of Tukey's method, from rawinsonde and radiosonde data taken by these stations. ...

    • THE INTERDIURNAL VARIABILITY OF SURFACE-AIR TEMPERATURE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN 

      Rosenthal, Stanley L. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      This paper gives the results of an investigation of the interdiurnal variability of surface-air temperature at 9 of the North Atlantic Ocean Vessel Stations. Computations were performed for each month of the year over a ...

    • THE MEAN UPPER-WIND CIRCULATION AROUND MONSOON DEPRESSIONS IN INDIA 

      Mulky, G. R.; Banerji, A. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      All available rawin observations taken within 400 mi from the centers of monsoon depressions in the Indian area have been used to obtain a picture of the average upper-wind circulation around the depressions. Cyclonic ...

    • CORRIGENDA 

      Unknown author (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      Correction to Volume 15, Issue 5, Article 440.

    • AN ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL 300-MB TRANSOSONDE FLIGHTS FROM JAPAN IN 1957–58 

      Angell, J. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      This paper summarizes the operational 300-mb constant-level balloon or transosonde flights made by the United States Navy from Iwakuni, Japan during 1957?58. On the average, the transosondes reached the west coast of the ...

    • THE DISTURBED CIRCULATION OF THE ARCTIC STRATOSPHERE 

      Hare, F. Kenneth (American Meteorological Society, 1960)
      The annual cycle of disturbed circulation in the arctic stratosphere (i.e., areas north of the main jet-core of the Ferrel westerlies) is discussed in the light of climatological and synoptic evidence. In summer, the Ferrel ...
