Comments on “Hail in Southwestern France. Part II: Results of a 30-Year Hail Prevention Project with Silver Iodide Seeding from the Ground”
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)In a recent article, Dessens uses economic data to evaluate a nonrandomized hail suppression project involving seeding from the ground. Given the far-reaching repercussions of such an evaluation within both the scientific ... -
Comments on “Lateral Dispersion from Tall Stacks”
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A few minor errors in a paper by Hanna are noted and several questions are raised about apparent inconsistencies. One question is why substantial enhancement of σy, by buoyancy was noted for the Bull Run data but was ... -

Some Additional Coherence Data in the Inertial Subrange
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Some coherence measurements, taken at the Näsudden wind energy test site, for small separation distances at a height of 65?77 m, are analyzed in terms of a theoretical coherence model for isotropic turbulence, and for ... -
A Method for the Estimate of Broadband Directional Surface Albedo from a Geostationary Satellite
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Surface albedo can be inferred from geostationary satellite measurements as long as the effects due to the atmosphere, the spectral response of the sensor, and the angular anisotropy of the reflected field are corrected. ... -
The Filtering of Meteorological Fields
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A generalization of the popular Shapiro filters is described which allows the suppression of a broader band of frequencies near the sampling limit corresponding to two-grid-length waves. Applications to high-order finite ... -
An Approach to Adjusting Climatological Time Series for Discontinuous Inhomogeneities
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A method is described whereby climatological time series of temperature and precipitation can be adjusted for station inhomogeneities using station history information. The adjusted data retains its original scale and is ... -
Observations of the Dynamics and Kinematics of the Atmospheric Surface Layer on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Row Island, Antarctica with its 3000 m volcanic peaks a prodigious barrier to the predominant southerly airflow of the western Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. This study investigates the relationship of Ross Island to the ... -
Moving Spectral Variance and Coherence Analysis and Some Applications on Long Air Temperature Series
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Climatic records of a long time series (e.g., centuries) may be nonstationary. Thus, the stability of the variance (power) spectrum over a sequence of time periods is examined. Moreover, it is important to use different ... -
Diagnosis of Vertical Motion from VAS Retrievals
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Satellite-derived temperature profiles are used to determine if reliable estimates of synoptic-scale vertical motion can be obtained from the adiabatic, vorticity, and omega equation techniques. The period of study contains ... -
The Characterization of an Air Pollution Episode Using Satellite Total Ozone Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A case study is presented which demonstrates that measurements of total ozone from a space platform can be used to study a widespread air pollution episode over the southeastern United States. In particular the synoptic-scale ... -
A Comparative Study of Various Parameterizations of the Planetary Boundary Layer in a Numerical Mesoscale Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Various parameterizations of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) currently used in three-dimensional (3D) mesoscale models are compared with a more complex scheme including a turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) equation. In the ... -
Spatial Interpolation of Meteorological Data in Complex Terrain Using Temporal Statistics
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Diagnostic wind field numerical models have significant difficulty developing representative wind velocities in complex terrain. A large of this difficulty begins with the initial wind field interpolation. If this interpolated ... -
Cross-Validation in Statistical Climate Forecast Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Cross-validation is a statistical procedure that produces an estimate of forecast skill which is less biased than the usual hindcast skill estimates. The cross-validation method systematically deletes one or more cases in ... -
Developing Synoptic Analogs for Extreme Mass Balance Conditions on Queen Elizabeth Island Ice Caps
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Detailed synoptic and climate analyses were undertaken for summer seasons during which extreme mass balance conditions were recorded on glaciers in the Queen Elizabeth Islands in high Arctic Canada. Three types of mass ... -

Three Types of Horizontal Vortices Observed in Wildland Mass and Crown Fires
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Observation shows that three types of horizontal vortices may form during intense wildland fires. Two of these vortices are longitudinal relative to the ambient wind and the third is transverse. One of the longitudinal ... -
Sensitivity of a Trajectory Model to the Spatial and Temporal Resolution of the Meteorological Data during CAPTEX
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Some recent analyses of long-range transport and dispersion indicated conflicting results regarding the improvement in trajectory calculations when either the spatial or temporal density of the meteorological data are ...
