    • BAROCLINIC WAVES OF THE POLAR-NIGHT VORTEX 

      Boville, B. W.; Wilson, C. V.; Hare, F. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      The behavior of the polar-night westerlies of the stratosphere is discussed, and their probable vertical extent is examined from rocket sounding evidence. It is shown that travelling wave-perturbations, typically of zonal ...

    • WHY RAINDROPS BREAK UP—VORTEX INSTABILITY 

      O'Brien, Vivian (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Experimental evidence is presented to show that the ?bag-breakup? of a fluid drop falling through another immiscible fluid (e.g., a raindrop in air) is essentially the same vortex instability observed in miscible fluid ...

    • NUMERICAL METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE STRATOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION FROM SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS IN THE CO2 BAND 

      Yamamoto, Giichi (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Based on Kaplan's idea that the temperature structure of the upper atmosphere may be inferred from satellite measurements, new methods of estimating the temperature distribution are presented and sample calculations are ...

    • REPLY 

      McClain, E. Paul (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      No Abstract Available.

    • ATMOSPHERIC ICE NUCLEI IN HIGH SOUTHERN LATITUDES 

      Bird, I.; Cresswell, G.; Humble, J.; Norris, I. D.; Bigg, E. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      No Abstract Available.

    • COMMENTS ON THE STATISTICS OF ARCTIC STRATOSPHERIC TIME SERIES 

      Ward, Fred; Shapiro, Ralph (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      No Abstract Available.

    • VISCOUS DISSIPATION IN THE ATMOSPHERE 

      Ball, F. K. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Estimates of atmospheric viscous dissipation at various heights from near the ground to within the stratosphere have been published. All of these results, that are known to the author, are presented on a single diagram ...

    • KINEMATICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN WIND AND PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTIONS, II 

      Kessler, Edwin (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      In order to extend our understanding of the relationships between the atmospheric distributions of water substance and the wind, a two-dimensional continuity equation for water substance is studied in terms of model wind ...

    • SOME AIRBORNE REFRACTIVE-INDEX MEASUREMENTS AT 150 MB 

      Sherr, Paul E. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Index of refraction data measured by a Crain microwave refractometer mounted in a Boeing 707 jet aircraft on two flights during August 1959 are presented. Emphasis is placed on the horizontal portions of the flights at the ...

    • ENERGY SPECTRA OF 500-MB MERIDIONAL CIRCULATION INDICES 

      Harper, Byron P. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Variation of the daily 500-mb hemispheric index of meridional circulation at latitudes 60N and 40N for the period 1 March 1959 to 12 July 1960 is examined by means of the spectrum-analysis method of Tukey. Some significant ...

    • VERTICAL PROFILES OF CONDENSATION NUCLEI IN THE STRATOSPHERE 

      Junge, Christian E. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      A total of seven vertical profiles of Aitken nuclei in the upper troposphere and stratosphere are discussed. Average values are presented and compared with tropospheric data by other authors. The main features of the ...

    • STATIC STABILITY MEASURES IN THE ATMOSPHERE 

      Gates, W. Lawrence (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Various measures of static stability in the atmosphere are reviewed and their uses briefly discussed. The mean vertical distribution of nine stability measures is given for 100-mb tropospheric layers and for selected ...

    • ON THE DISPERSION OF LARGE PARTICLES FROM A 15-M SOURCE IN THE ATMOSPHERE 

      Hage, K. D. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      In a series of nine experiments, embracing a range of wind speeds and stability conditions, fluorescent-dyed glass microspheres of nominal diameter 100µ were emitted continuously from a point source at 15 m over gently ...

    • ON THE DIRECTION AND DIVERGENCE OF THE SMALL-SCALE TURBULENT HEAT FLUX 

      Deardorff, James W. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      The equation describing the production or decay of temperature fluctuations of the nth moment is derived and applied toward the determination of the sign of the small-scale heat flux and its vertical divergence in the ...

    • AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF CUMULUS 

      Saunders, Peter M. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      An observational study of cumulus is made from time-lapse film records, and laws describing the growth of cloud thermals (discrete masses of buoyant air) are deduced. The diameter of isolated thermals emerging from the ...

    • A THEORY FOR CLOSE-IN FALLOUT FROM LAND-SURFACE NUCLEAR BURSTS 

      Anderson, Albert D. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Current fallout-computation methods do not account for the early-time dynamics of the fallout process. Therefore, the present theory was originated in the attempt to explain the mechanics of fallout more completely. This ...

    • TRAJECTORIES: ISOBARIC, ISENTROPIC AND ACTUAL 

      Danielsen, Edwin F. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Vertical and horizontal deviations between an air trajectory and isobaric and isentropic trajectories are presented in a convenient form for order-of-magnitude comparisons and interpretation. Also, an objective method for ...

    • SHORT-RANGE ATMOSPHERIC-DISPERSION MEASUREMENTS FROM AN ELEVATED SOURCE 

      Islitzer, Norman F. (American Meteorological Society, 1961)
      Dispersion measurements of a tracer, uranine dye in solution, were made out to two miles from the re- lease point in unstable atmospheres. The tracer was released from the top of a 150-ft tower and sampled at ground level ...
