HEAT AND WATER-VAPOR FLUXES IN AIR FLOWING SOUTHWARD OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)Turbulent transports of sensible heat and water vapor have been measured from an airplane within southerly-flowing air masses over the western North Atlantic Ocean. It is found that the lower levels of these air masses are ... -
ON THE MEAN MAGNITUDE OF THE ISOBARIC ASCENDENT OF CONTOUR HEIGHT
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
CORRIGENDUM
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Correction to Volume 16, Issue 4, Article 347. -
AUTOCORRELATION IN PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
A NOTE ON THE INTERDITURNAL VARIABILITY OF METEOROLOGICAL ELEMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
OBJECTIVE PREDICTION OF FIVE-DAY MEAN TEMPERATURES DURING WINTER
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)A statistical screening procedure is used to derive linear multiple-regression equations which express 5-day mean surface temperature as a function of 5-day mean 700-mb heights centered 2 days earlier. Application of these ... -
PROBABILITY ESTIMATES OF THE WEATHER IN RELATION TO OPERATIONAL DECISIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)If an operation is influenced by the weather, each course of action should result in a profit, cost, or loss depending upon the subsequent development or state of the weather. To delve into the problem of relating the ... -
EVALUATION OF THE CONSTANT OF THE BALLOON-ASCENT FORMULA AT DIFFERENT REYNOLDS NUMBERS FROM THE VALUE OF THE COEFFICIENT OF AERODYNAMIC RESISTANCE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
MULTIPLE REGRESSION OF PRESSURE RELATED TO INDEX CYCLE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
ON THE OBSERVATION OF TOTAL AND NET ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1960)Simultaneous night observations with four different sensors for the long-wave atmospheric radiation were obtained with a radiosonde, specially equipped for this purpose. The sensors consisted of (1) a radiometersonde as ... -
OROGRAPHICAL AND CLIMATOLOGICAL INFLUENCES ON DEPOSITION OF NUCLEAR-BOMB DEBRIS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The behavior of nuclear bomb debris in the atmosphere is reviewed in order to see how far such debris might be used as a tracer in atmospheric physics. Much debris seems to be captured by orographic precipitation, and ... -
A STUDY OF THE TRAJECTORIES AND DIFFUSION PATTERNS OF GROUND-GENERATED AIRBORNE PARTICULATES UNDER OROGRAPHIC WIND-FLOW CONDITIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)In late June and early July, 1956, a series of experiments was performed to determine the wind structure over an orographic barrier and to ascertain whether ground-generated aerosols reach cloud heights in such a situation. ... -
ON SOME WEATHER INFLUENCES DUE TO WARMING OF THE AIR BY THE GREAT LAKES IN WINTER
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The effect of the Great Lakes on the motion and precipitation patterns during a cold spell (8 to 14 February 1958) is investigated. By calculating the rotational part of the motion and, also, by resolving the pressure field ... -
PRECIPITATION-PARTICLE MEASUREMENTS IN TRADE-WIND CUMULI
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Precipitation particles in the 100- to 6.50-µ-diam range were sampled in a large number of tropical convective clouds. These samples permit one to trace the development of precipitation in these clouds. Liquid-water-content ... -
SPHERICAL VORTEX THEORY OF BUBBLE-LIKE MOTION IN CUMULUS CLOUDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The bubble concept is here put on a more quantitative basis by approximating the buoyant bubble in a cloud by a spherical vortex. The approximate solution of the equations of motion is made with the aid of ?Hill's Spherical ... -
KINEMATICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN WIND AND PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)If distributions of precipitation in the atmosphere could be understood in terms of their associated three-dimensional winds, then radar, radiosonde, and surface observations might be utilized in new ways as sources of ... -
AXIAL VELOCITY STREAKS IN THE JET STREAM: AGEOSTROPHIC “INERTIAL” OSCILLATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)An air particle alternately speeds up and slows down as it passes through local isotach maxima. It is shown that, on the average, the observed period of such speed variations in the core of the jet stream is about twice ... -
A SIXTEEN-MONTH SERIES OF MID-STRATOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)This paper presents the results of a series of daily high-altitude balloon soundings made in New Jersey. Temperature data were obtained to about 40 km in quantity suitable for statistical study. Seasonal mean temperature ... -

AIRBORNE ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRIC MEASUREMENTS OVER A MOUNTAIN RIDGE AND IN RADIOACTIVE DEBRIS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The atmospheric conductivity and potential gradient were measured from an airplane over the Blue Ridge in Virginia on 2 March 1955, before the arrival of radioactive debris from a burst in Nevada the preceding day. Above ...
