PREDICTION OF HURRICANE MOTION WITH USE OF ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)The Wadsworth-Bryan method of specifying atmospheric circulation patterns is used as a basis for developing a hurricane forecasting procedure. Regression equations have been calculated using persistency and circulation ... -
A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF SUTTON'S HYPOTHESIS FOR DIFFUSION FROM A CONTINUOUS POINT SOURCE
(American Meteorological Society, 1959)Sutton's hypothesis for diffusion from a continuous point source has been evaluated using the data obtained during Project Prairie Grass. It is found that the hypothesis predicts the observed concentration distributions ... -
SOME EVIDENCE FOR TIDAL OSCILLATIONS OBTAINED FROM 300-MB TRANSOSONDE DATA
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
MEANING OF COMBINED CLIMATE AND PERSISTENCE FORECASTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
A REAPPRAISAL OF AN EARLY CLOUD SEEDING EVALUATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC INFRARED COOLING RATE
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS IN AN ISOTROPIC TURBULENT FLOW
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)An attempt is made to see what the results of the application of the methods of Heisenberg are to isotropic temperature fluctuations in a stationary isotropic turbulence, under the restriction that temperature differences ... -
A LONG PERIOD FLUCTUATION IN FREEZING NUCLEUS CONCENTRATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
LAGRANGIAN WIND FLUCTUATIONS AT 300 MB DERIVED FROM TRANSOSONDE DATA
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The dependence upon frequency of the variance and cross variance of zonal-meridional and natural ageostrophic wind components is determined for twelve 300-mb transosonde flights of 60 to 130 hr duration. The main peaks in ... -
COMPUTATION OF PRECIPITATION FROM LARGE-SCALE VERTICAL MOTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The vorticity equation and the first law of thermodynamics are used to construct a model which will account for the precipitation due to large-scale vertical motion. In the derivation of the model, the quasigeostrophic ... -
MOISTURE SUPPLY AND GROWTH OF STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The steady-state water-budget theory is developed for stratiform precipitation. The variation of cloud liquid water with altitude in a layer depends on the rate at which it is produced by the updraft and depleted by the ... -
ON THE TRUNCATION ERROR WHICH ARISES FROM THE USE OF FINITE DIFFERENCES IN THE LAPLACIAN OPERATOR
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The modification of the power spectrum for the Laplacian of a variable, associated with the use of finite differences instead of derivatives, is discussed for an isotropic scalar field. The results permit one to specify a ... -
ARCTIC SYNOPTIC ACTIVITY IN WINTER
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The wintertime distribution, structure and motion of cyclones and anticyclones in the Arctic are analyzed through the use of 15 winter months of data. Histories of the most important types of pressure systems are described, ... -
RADAR ECHOES FROM A CLOUDLESS COLD FRONT
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)A recent radar observation of a line of echoes associated with a fast-moving cold front is described. The novel feature of the observation was the complete absence of any precipitation and cloud formations to which the ... -
LIQUID WATER WITHIN CONVECTIVE CLOUDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)Measurements of liquid-water content in cumulus clouds were made with a device which records changes of conductivity of a paper tape with changes of wetness. One series of measurements was made in tropical cumuli; another ... -
CALIFORNIA STORM CHARACTERISTICS AND WEATHER MODIFICATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)In connection with cloud seeding projects in Pacific Coast states, detailed analyses have been prepared of many storms. From this material, average values of significant parameters have been computed and are employed to ... -
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN WIND AND HEIGHT ON AN ISOBARIC SURFACE II: SUMMER DATA
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The assumption that the two-point wind correlations are those expected from two-dimensional, homogeneous, isotropic turbulence leads to inconsistencies when applied to the wind-height correlations on the 500-mb surface in ... -

A TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING PRECIPITATION PARTICLES FROM AIRCRAFT
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)A brief review is presented of the methods available for airborne cloud-droplet measurements. A foil technique for measuring liquid precipitation particles (greater than 100 µ diameter) is discussed with respect to ... -
THE DISTRIBUTION WITH SIZE OF AGGREGATE SNOWFLAKES
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)Average-size distributions for aggregate snowflakes are well represented above D = 1 mm by ND = Noe?AD where D is the diameter of the water drop to which the aggregate would melt. This is the same equation that Marshall ...
