AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MELANDER EFFECT
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Melander's experimental results on the apparent production of salt nuclei by evaporation of salt solutions are examined both theoretically and experimentally. It is concluded theoretically that the rate of evaporative ... -
THE MERIDIONAL GROWTH OF SQUALL LINES
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Squall lines that form ahead of an accelerating cold front are sometimes observed to grow in length. In this paper an attempt is made to explain this interesting property of squall lines, and to deduce a mathematical formula ... -
AN IMPROVED NET-RADIATION INSTRUMENT
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)An improved net-radiation instrument for measuring the net flux of radiant energy through a surface parallel to the earth's surface, which employs the principle of exposing a ventilated radiation-absorbing element to the ... -
ALBEDO OVER WIND-ROUGHENED WATER
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The observed albedo over a natural water surface, as a function of solar elevation and cloud cover, is reproduced semi-theoretically by considering the distribution of slope on the sea surface. The relation of the albedo ... -
SCATTERING OF SOLAR ENERGY BY CLOUDS OF “LARGE DROPS”
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)For the case when absorption is negligible, the direct and scattered solar beams have been followed down into clouds of ?large? spherical waterdrops, to calculate the distribution of the generation of diffuse energy in the ... -
REVISION OF HIGH-LEVEL WIND AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS IN BERMUDA
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -
COMMENTS ON SHERMAN'S HORIZONTAL-DIVERGENCE EQUATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -

ON GRAVITY WAVES IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Seven times in a year's continuous observations, marked oscillations with periods from 5 to 15 minutes were simultaneously recorded on a barograph and a damped anemometer located at La Jolla, California. The oscillations ... -
THE DIFFUSION-CONTROLLED GROWTH OF AN AEROSOL IN A TURBULENT MEDIUM
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The growth rate and radius of an aerosol particle in a turbulent supersaturated fluid are calculated on the basis of a simple ?stagnant film? model, in the presence of time-dependent, homogeneously distributed sources in ... -

SOME RESULTS OF A TRADE-CUMULUS CLOUD INVESTIGATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Cross sections through two trade-cumulus clouds are presented, showing the temperatures, turbulence, and water-vapor content of the clouds and their nearby environment, the cloud slope, and the external wind profile. The ... -
SOME RELATIONS AMONG ATMOSPHERIC STATISTICS
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Standard deviations (of pressure, density, temperature and wind) and correlation coefficients (between pressure and density, pressure and temperature, and pressure and wind) are related to each other, and to the vertical ... -
NOTE ON TAYLOR'S "INK WALLS'' IN A ROTATING FLUID
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -
THE FORECASTING SIGNIFICANCE OF THE REED-SANDERS ARTICLE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -

A TECHNIQUE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF WATER IN AIR AT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)An investigation of ice fog in Alaska required a technique for the determination of the water content of the atmosphere at temperatures between ?20 to ?55C. No satisfactory method for direct field measurements at these low ...
