Specification of Monthly Mean Surface Temperatures from 700-mb Heights
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Multiple regression equations relating surface temperature to the mid-tropospheric circulation pattern are tested on observed 30-day mean 700-mb heights. The equations are found to specify monthly mean temperatures within ... -
Empirical Comparisons of Meteorological Rocket Wind Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Graphical comparisons of the wind responses of several meteorological rocket sensors are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the contemporary systems to the problem of measuring winds at altitudes in excess of ... -
The Development of Quantitative Relationships between Orographic Precipitation and Air-Mass Parameters for Use in Forecasting and Cloud Seeding Evaluation
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)The physical basis for a relationship between orographic precipitation and air-mass characteristics, wind flow pattern and gross terrain features is outlined. Consideration is also given to the manner in which the precipitation ... -
Physical Studies of the Santa Barbara Cloud Seeding Project
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Physical storm characteristics during the operational period of the Santa Barbara Cloud Seeding Project have been studied. It is shown that the vertical storm structure, particularly the depth of the low-level convective ... -
Diffusion in Shear Flow
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)In the Green Glow program conducted near Richland, Washington, during the summer of 1959, 26 diffusion experiments were conducted during nocturnal inversions. The tracer was released near ground level. Samplers were placed ... -
Atmospheric Focusing of Sonic Booms
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)No abstract available. -
Note on Vertical Correlations of the Wind
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)No abstract available. -

Diurnal Wind Variations in Central California
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Hodographs of resultant winds obtained from surface and upper-air observations at 21 stations in central California for the month of July 1958 are presented, together with trajectories of air parcels which pass into the ... -
Model Cross Sections Across the Jet Stream
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Several jet-stream models have appeared in the literature over roughly the past decade. It is felt that these various models do not adequately describe the isotach patterns in the jet stream under various synoptic conditions ... -
Six Years of Operational Numerical Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Significant developments at Suitiand, Md., since the spring of 1956 in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) are discussed. Several improvements made in the operational barotropic model are reviewed. Current NWP ... -
Detailed Acoustic Structure above the Tropopause
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)The general features of atmospheric acoustic structure in the lower mesosphere have been known for several decades. Initial studies were accomplished by surface observations of anomalous propagation of pressure perturbations ... -
The Probability of Completion of Outdoor Work
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)If an outdoor job were being planned in an area which never received precipitation, all facilities could be scheduled with assurance that work could proceed to completion without interruption because of precipitation. In ... -
Probability Statements in Weather Forecasting
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Subjective rain probability forecasts issued by the Weather Bureau Forecast Center at San Francisco during four winter seasons are evaluated. It was found that the observed occurrence of rain tended to be greater than ... -
Tornado Composite Charts for the Canadian Prairies
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Composite charts of tornado situations are presented for the surface, 850-, 700-, 500-, and 200-mb levels for Manitoba and Saskatchewan. These charts do not cover all possible situations but are only for the most common ... -
The Climatic Amelioration in Southern California: 1955 to 1960
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Climatic variations influential in modifying the Southern California sea are considered in relation to the strong warming trend observed from 1956 to 1959 both for surface-water temperatures and for air temperatures at ... -
The Vapor Method for Making Replicas of Liquid and Solid Aerosols
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)tract -
A Simple Yes-No Hail Forecasting Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)An objective method of hail forecasting is developed, employing as predictors (1) the ratio of cloud depth below the freezing level to the cloud's estimated vertical development and (2) the height of the freezing level. ... -
A Comparison between the Height of Cumulus Clouds and the Height of Radar Echoes Received from Them1
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A comparison is made between the angular elevation of the visible top of a cloud tower and the top of the radar echo associated with it. Employing a 10-cm WSR-57 radar, we find angular differences between 0 and +1° with ... -
A Numeric-Pictorial Display for Meteorological Observational Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A new technique of presentation of meteorological observational data based on automatic data processing methods is described. The record form combines the advantages of the pictorial characteristics of a graphical plot and ...
