A TEST OF THE RELATION BETWEEN PRECIPITATION AND SYNOPTIC PATTERNS AT 200 AND 300 MILLIBARS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)A proposed method of forecasting the occurrence of precipitation by forecasting the field of vorticity advection at 300 mb is tested in this study by verifying the concurrent relationship between the two phenomena. A similar ... -

ANNUAL VARIATIONS OF UPPER AIR WINDS AND TEMPERATURES IN ALASKA FROM ACOUSTICAL MEASUREMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)A series of monthly acoustic tests has been made in interior Alaska to obtain upper air winds and temperatures and their variations during an entire season. Results of these tests show that a temperature maximum of 22 to ... -
ON THE TIME RATE OF WORK DONE BY THE EDDYf-TRESSES IN THE FREE AIR, AND THE MAINTENANCE OF WESTERLIES IN MIDDLE LATITUDES
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
ESTIMATES OF THE VERTICAL VELOCITY BASED ON THE VORTICITY EQUATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
THE HEIGHT VARIATION OF LATERAL GUSTINESS AND ITS EFFECT ON LATERAL DIFFUSION
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Data derived from a unique observational arrangement at Round Hill Field Station allow the investigation of the instantaneous vertical variation of wind-direction fluctuations in the lowest 44 m of the atmosphere. Three ... -
THE EARTH'S ANGULAR MOMENTUM BALANCE: A NONSENSE PROBLEM?
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
THE EFFECT OF THE STEADY-STATE ASSUMPTION ON CONSTANT VORTICITY TRAJECTORIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
A PLANETARY-ATMOSPHERIC RESPONSE TO SOLAR ACTIVITY
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)The brightness of the planet Jupiter is found to be related to mean annual and monthly relative sunspot numbers which are used to indicate the general level of solar activity. The evidence for the relationship is presented ... -
A STUDY OF CONSTANT ABSOLUTE VORTICITY TRAJECTORIES ON ISENTROPIC SURFACES
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)It is shown that constant absolute vorticity (CAV) trajectories are more useful on isentropic surfaces than on constant pressure surfaces. A form of the vorticity equation is derived by use of Lagrangian methods. This form ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MID-TROPOSPHERIC FRONTAL ZONE AND ITS ASSOCIATED VORTICITY FIELD
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)A synoptic example of intense frontogenesis at 500 mb is presented and the underlying mechanism is investigated both from the thermal and dynamic standpoints. It is shown that the basic process in operation is a cross-stream ... -
ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE MEASUREMENTS AND ANALYSIS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Satisfactory measuring techniques have been developed which overcome the four, principal experimental problems arising in the investigation of atmospheric turbulence. 1. The data are made reproducible for statistical ... -
SALT NUCLEI IN MARINE AIR AS A FUNCTION OF ALTITUDE AND WIND FORCE
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Large differences are shown to occur in the numbers and sizes of sea-salt particles in marine air over the sea as the altitude, position, and the time of sampling are varied. Increases in the amount of air-borne salt near ... -

OBSERVATIONS ON THE FORMATION AND SPREAD OF PRECIPITATION IN CONVECTIVE CLOUDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Data gathered by the Thunderstorm Project in Ohio during 1947, by use of a radar set AN/TPS?10, were analyzed to study the process of precipitation initiation in natural convective clouds. It is shown that about 60 per ... -
