      Shapiro, Ralph (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      The persistence of the three-day mean surface pressure distribution in a mid-latitude region centered on the Greenwich meridian is examined in connection with large increases in geomagnetic activity and is compared with ...

    • A METHOD FOR COMPUTING SURFACE-AIR TEMPERATURE FREQUENCIES OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN 

      Rosenthal, Stanley L. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      A set of regression equations, which relate the 05, 25, 50, 75, and 95 per cent points of the surface-air temperature frequenry distributions over the North Atlantic Ocean to mean temperatures interpolated from charts ...

      No Abstract Available.

    • THE SHAPE OF RAINDROPS 

      Jones, Douglas M. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      An investigation of the physical shape of raindrops using two cameras at right angles is described, and the results are tabulated and graphed. The data included measurements of 1783 raindrops of which 569 were classified ...

    • POWER-SPECTRUM ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC OZONE PARAMETERS 

      Adel, Arthur; Epstein, Edward S. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      Power spectra have been computed for three parameters of atmospheric ozone: ERTOR (effective radiation temperature of the ozone region), absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the 9.6-micron band, and total amount of ...

    • ON THE TRUNCATION ERROR, STABILITY, AND CONVERGENCE OF DIFFERENCE SOLUTIONS OF THE BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQUATION 

      Gates, W. Lawrence (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      The truncation error, stability and convergence properties of various finite-difference formulations of the one-dimensional barotropic vorticity equation are considered, and analytic solutions of the difference equations ...

    • FINITE-AMPLITUDE THREE-DIMENSIONAL HARMONIC WAVES ON THE SPHERICAL EARTH 

      Kuo, H. L. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      By making use of the quasi-nondivergent approximation, the potential vorticity equation is reduced to an equation in the stream function ?. Assuming that the motion is of permanent wave type, a first integral of this ...

    • A GENERALIZATION OF THE MIXING-LENGTH CONCEPT 

      Businger, J. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      A concept for the mixing length in diabatic conditions is introduced and elaborated. The basic idea is that convective energy has effect on the mixing length but not on the size of the largest eddies. The theory developed ...

    • TURBULENT TRANSFER IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OF A STRATIFIED FLUID 

      Kao, Shih-Kung (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      In this paper, an analysis is made of some characteristics of the steady turbulent transfer in the boundary layer of a stratified fluid. The effect of the heat flux on the variation of the mixing length and the flux ...

    • THE THEORY OF LOCAL ADVECTION: I 

      Philip, J. R. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      This paper is the first of a series in which the theory of local advection (the exchange due to horizontal heterogeneity) of energy and moisture will be developed and applied to a number of problems of practical and ...

    • HIGH-ALTITUDE WIND MEASUREMENTS 

      Jenkins, Kenneth R.; Webb, Willis L. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      The performance of the Loki wind-sensing rocket system is discussed. Altitudes in excess of those obtainable by standard sounding-balloon techniques were sampled in a series of ten Phase I Loki rockets fired at White Sands ...

    • METEOROLOGICAL ACCURACIES IN MISSILE TESTING 

      Lenhard, Robert W. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      The accuracy with which meteorological elements can be measured by currently operational radiosonde equipment is examined and representative error values calculated. A method of analyzing cross-sections for missile test ...

    • PRECIPITATION AND COLD AIR PRODUCTION IN MESOSCALE THUNDERSTORM SYSTEMS 

      Fujita, Tetsuya (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      This paper presents a proposed mechanism of cold air production associated with precipitation. A dome of cold air is produced by the evaporation of raindrops falling beneath the cloud base. A quantitative relationship ...

    • THE DIURNAL PRESSURE OSCILLATION ON A HEATED MOUNTAIN ISLAND 

      Pyle, Robert L. (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
      A theory is developed for the 24-hr component of the diurnal pressure oscillation and compared with observations on Haleakala Mountain, Hawaii. Using the linearized hydrodynamic equations, the theory for flow over an ...

    • SOME OBJECTIVE SIX-HOUR PREDICTIONS PREPARED BY STATISTICAL METHODS 

      Aubert, Eugene J.; Lund, Iver A.; Thomasell, Albert (American Meteorological Society, 1959)
