THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF DIFFERENT HEAT-EXCHANGE PROCESSES IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The temperature variation at a fixed point in the free atmosphere or at a point which moves vertically with an isobaric surface is a result of the combined effect of radiation, horizontal advection of heat, vertical ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF IRRIGATION ON THE ENERGY BALANCE AND THE CLIMATE NEAR THE GROUND
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)A theoretical analysis is presented of the influence of irrigation on temperature and humidity of the lower air layers and on the energy balance of the surface. Starting from meteorological data for the dry land (averaged ... -
SOME EFFECTS OF WATER-VAPOR ABSORPTION ON SODIUM CHLORIDES AT 25C
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The surface of sodium-chloride microcrystals has been ?strained? in an electrodeless high-frequency discharge. Surface areas of the blue product obtained in this way, after exposure to water vapor at 25C and unit relative ... -
INHIBITION OF FREEZING NUCLEI BY ADSORBED CONTAMINANTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)An investigation was made of the effect of amines, ammonia, and alcohols on the nucleation of super-cooled water droplets by silver-iodide crystals. It was found that they inhibit the nucleation and that the vapor ... -
ANALYSIS OF SEVERE CONVECTIVE STORMS OBSERVED BY RADAR-II
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The frequency of hail occurrence in New England thunderstorms during 1956 and 1957 was directly related to the maximum heights and maximum reflectivity factors of the thunderstorm echoes measured by CPS-9 radar. Hail ... -
MICROCALORIMETRY OF ADSORPTION OF WATER VAPOR ON SODIUM CHLORIDE WHICH HAS BEEN TREATED IN ELECTRIC DISCHARGES
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)By use of a microcalorimeter of the Calvet type, measurements of the heats of adsorption of water vapor on sodium chloride of large specific surface have been made, after submitting the salt to an electrodeless high-frequency ... -
A DESCRIPTIVE THEORY OF THE PHOTO DE-ACTIVATION OF SILVER IODIDE AS AN ICE-CRYSTAL NUCLEUS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The photo de-activation of silver iodide as an ice-crystal nucleus is ascribed to the production of photolytic silver at trapping centers in the volume and on the surface of the nucleating particle. Silver produced at the ... -
CORRIGENDUM
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Correction to Volume 16, Issue 2, Article 108. -
ESTIMATING THE FRICTIONAL FORCE AT 300 MB BY MEANS OF TRANSOSONDE AND RADIOSONDE DATA
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
HURRICANE DEVELOPMENT
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Latest available compilations confirm that mean hurricane frequencies vary widely within the tropics. Referred to a standard unit area, hurricanes (typhoons) are three times as likely to develop in the western North Pacific ... -

SINGULARITIES IN DAILY TEMPERATURES
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The means of daily maximum temperatures using twenty years of record are obtained. The average of these means over n consecutive calendar days is used as a predictor of the daily maximum temperature one and more years in ... -
EFFECT OF OZONE ON THE TOTAL SKY AND GLOBAL RADIATION RECEIVED ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
CHANGES IN THE DEPTH OF THE MARINE LAYER OVER THE LOS ANGELES BASIN
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Aerometerograph soundings made at seven locations over the Los Angeles coastal plain and adjacent valleys during the summer of 1957 are analyzed to provide the hourly daytime variations in the depth of the marine layer as ... -

SOME SPECTRA OF TURBULENCE IN THE FREE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)No Abstract Available. -
A NOTE ON OVERSTABILITY AND THE ELASTOID-INERTIA OSCILLATIONS OF KELVIN, SOLBERG, AND BJERKNES
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Results elucidating the mechanism by which overstable (oscillating) cellular convection occurs in rotating layers are given. There is a close connection with the elastoid-inertia oscillations in a rotating cylinder discussed ... -
WIND-SPEED PROFILES AT BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Wind-speed profiles are determined for a 114-m layer and two continuous parts of that layer through the use of data from the 125-m meteorological tower at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Further analysis of the data indicates ... -
A DYNAMIC WIND SIMULATOR FOR THE FRICTIONAL BOUNDARY LAYER
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)An experimental model of an electronic analogue computer which solves the two dimensional equations of motion is described in complete meteorological and engineering detail. Several solutions of the equations are illustrated ... -
THE VARIABILITY OF THE WATER CONTENTS OF TROPICAL CUMULI
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Continuous measurements of liquid-water content have been used to determine the magnitude of cloud water and its distribution in tropical cumuli. The average water content for a cloud penetration was always less than the ...
