RADAR CROSS-SECTIONS FOR WATER AND ICE SPHERES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Radar cross-sections for water and ice spheres, evaluated by using the complete Mie theory and the method of Aden, are presented for wavelengths ranging from 0.43 to 16.23 cm. The validity of the Rayleigh approximation is ... -
SCATTERING FUNCTION AND POLARIZATION OF SKYLIGHT IN THE ULTRAVIOLET TO THE NEAR INFRARED REGION, WITH HAZE OF SCATTERING TYPE 2
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Measurements of the scattering-phase function and of the polarization of skylight in rather strong haze of turbidity type 2, in the wavelength range from 0.38 to 1.76 ?, have been made at Mainz, Germany. As already found ... -
VALUES OF PARAMETERS APPEARING IN SUTTON'S DIFFUSION MODELS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Statistical summaries are presented of computed values of parameters appearing in a modification of Sutton's diffusion equations. Experimental data used for the computations are those obtained during Project Prairie Grass ... -
EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATIONS OF THE BACK-SCATTERING CROSS-SECTIONS OF WATER DROPS AND OF WET AND DRY ICE SPHERES AT 3.2 CENTIMETERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Measurements are presented of the back-scattering cross-sections of individual water drops and ice pellets at a wavelength of 3.2 cm which cover a diameter range of about 2 to 7 mm for water and 3 to 35 mm for ice. The ... -
SOLAR DISTURBANCE AND THE SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE HEIGHT OF THE 500-MB SURFACE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
A NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)A model of a tropical cyclone is constructed which is based upon conservation of momentum, mass,water vapor and heat in the hydrostatic system. The horizontal and vertical eddy-exchange processes for momentum, moisture and ... -
AN ANALYSIS OF THE TRAJECTORY OF A CONSTANT-PRESSURE BALLOON IN A LONG ATMOSPHERIC WAVE IN COMPARISON WITH THE NONLINEAR THEORY
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
WIND SYSTEMS IN THE MESOSPHERE AND LOWER IONOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)In recent years, new wind data from the region of 30 to 100 km have become available. By using these new data, cross sections of zonal wind have been constructed and compared with the existing model of the mesophere and ... -
RADAR REFLECTIVITY PROFILES IN THUNDERSTORMS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Vertical profiles of radar reflectivity have been measured in the cores of New England thunderstorms and correlated with surface weather conditions reported by an extensive network of cooperating observers. Although the ... -
ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES AND SOLAR ACTIVITY-11. 50 MB IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AURORAL ZONE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)No Abstract Available. -
A THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE SEA BREEZE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Series of observations of the sea breeze has been made along a portion of the New England coast near Block Island, Rhode Island. These observations were presented in an earlier paper (Fisher, 1960). With these data as a ... -
GLOBAL TROPOPAUSE MAPS BY SATELLITE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)The backscatter of a submicrosecond light pulse projected from a satellite is studied as a means of obtaining meteorological data. A time display of energy returned to the source will vary with atmospheric density, cloud-top ... -
A TEST OF THE REALITY OF RAINFALL SINGULARITIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)The tendency for the recurrence of weather events on or near the same calendar date has been the subject of controversy for many years. The statistical evidence has been far from conclusive, and no generally acceptable ... -
MEASUREMENTS OF RADIATIVE COOLING THROUGH TWO INTENSE BAROCLINIC ZONES IN THE MIDDLE TROPOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Balloon-borne radiometers were used to measure infrared radiative cooling through two intense, dry baroclinic zones in the middle troposphere. In both cases, a warming peak was associated with the baroclinic zone, with ... -
A STATISTICAL THEORY OF METEOROLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS AND PREDICTIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)A statistical theory of synoptic-scale measurements and predictions is developed and presented with the aid of numerical examples. In place of standard meteorological variables which are important in classical theory, there ... -
MODELS OF VERTICAL CORRELATIONS OF THE WIND
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Interlevel correlations of the wind are shown to be quite stable over large areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Based on this fact, vertical correlation coefficients for 70 stations were categorized into three types, each ... -
THE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM OF WINTER
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Daily upper-wind analysis at 200 mb was carried out between the equator and 45N, around the globe, for December 1955 to February 1956 to map the subtropical jet stream. It turned out that this current formed a pattern of ... -
SNOW CRYSTALS AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE NUCLEI IN THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Snow crystals are born at high altitudes and grow into various forms while falling through the atmosphere. In this research work, the relations observed among snow crystals were crystal form, nucleus, and temperature and ... -
NET RADIATION FLUX OVER SUB-ARCTIC SURFACES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Some years ago, a series of maps of cover types in Labrador-Ungava was prepared at McGill University. These maps show the distribution of surfaces which have obvious wide variations in albedo and evaporative characteristics. ... -
THE MOTION AND PREDICTABILITY OF PRECIPITATION LINES
(American Meteorological Society, 1961)Analysis of radar film from New England and the midwest has shed additional light on the relation of precipitation-line motion to upper winds, the direction of motion, the line lifetimes and the regious of appearance and ...
