RELATION OF GUSTINESS TO OTHER METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Two years of data have been processed to show relationships between wind gustiness and other meteorological parameters. The gustiness classification used at Brookhaven National Laboratory is defined by the range and ... -
ERRONEOUS CLOUD-PHY SICS APPLICATIONS OF RAOULT'S LAW
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
ON THE MEASUREMENT OF PRECIPITATION INTENSITY BY RADAR
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)No Abstract Available -
THE FLOW OF A STABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER A HEATED ISLAND, PART II
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)In Part I, the convective motions produced by the flow of a stable air stream over a small flat island were studied when the distribution of heating as a function of the coordinates was assumed. In Part II, the mechanism ... -
SINGULARITIES AND THE GENERAL CIRCULATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)The association of local or regional weather ?singularities? with the state of the general atmospheric circulation is described. The concept of ?primary singularities,? reflecting characteristic features of the general ... -
A BAROCLINIC MODEL ATMOSPHERE SUITABLE FOR NUMERICAL INTEGRATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Subject to various approximations, a system of three simultaneous partial differential equations is derived to predict the height of a contour surface, the thickness of the layer from 1000 mb to that surface, and the field ... -
THE FLOW OF A STABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER A HEATED ISLAND, PART 1
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)The effect upon a stable atmosphere of a heat source (5?10 km width), which is a specified function of the coordinates, is investigated theoretically. A two-dimensional problem is chosen, with the x-coordinate in the ... -
A NEW APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF TURBULENT MIXING
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)The principle of dynamic entrainment is applied to the turbulent-mixing problem. With use of the velocity fluctuations characteristic of turbulent flow and the equation of continuity, an expression is derived for the mass ... -
PRECIPITATION TRAJECTORIES AND PATTERNS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)A characteristic ?mares' tail? pattern of falling snow (observed in vertical section by radar) suggests that the snow is generated continuously, in compact generating elements; the pattern results from the snow's falling ... -
SURFACE ATMOSPHERIC HEAT-FLUX ANALYSIS ON THE LETTAU MODEL
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Determinations of the turbulent flux of heat at the earth's surface are made for the period 24?25 January 1950 at Manor, Texas, with use of mean vertical gradients of air temperature and wind speed, following the Lettau ... -
THE IMPULSIVE GENERATION OF CERTAIN CHANGES IN THE TROPOSPHERIC CIRCULATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)Evidence is presented to show that high-level tropical cyclones originate over the Marshall Islands as tropospheric responses to sudden increases in the radiative output of the sun. Corroboration of the hypothesis that the ... -
AN APPLICATION OF ABSOLUTE-VORTICITY CHARTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1953)The analysis and use of charts of absolute vorticity are described. Measurements from a winter and a summer series of maps gave 608 and 641 mb, respectively, as the pressure at the mean equivalent barotropic surface. It ... -

REMARKS ON "A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF TWO PROPOSED MECHANISMS FOR VERTICAL OZONE TRMSPORT IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE"
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
RELATION BETWEEN GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY AND PRESSURE VARIATIONS ALOFT
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)The superposed-epoch method is used to try to find a relationship between pressure aloft and geomagnetically quiet and geomagnetically disturbed days. No relation is observed between geomagnetically disturbed days and ... -
ABSORPTION OF SOLAR RADIATION BY WATER VAPOR IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)Absorption of solar radiation by water vapor in the atmosphere has been studied, with use of Fowle's observed results and application of Elsasser's transmission function. The results are compared with those of other workers. ... -
