ON THE LOW-LEVEL STRUCTURE OF TROPICAL STORMS
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)Data from a number of reconnaissance flights into large Pacific tropical cyclones are combined to obtain a generalized pattern of winds at low level (about 1000 feet) under both stationary and non-stationary conditions. ... -

A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE ZONAL-WIND PROFILE UNDER CONDITIONS OF CONSTANT VORTICITY
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
PARALLEL-BEAM AND DIFFUSE RADIATION IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)The calculation of atmospheric transmission functions for infrared spectral lines having a pressure-broadened line shape is extended to include the case where the fractional concentration of the radiating gas varies with ... -
EQUATORIAL WESTERLIES IN THE WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
ON THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPERIMENTAL MODELS OF THE POLAR-FRONT WAVE
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)Laboratory model experiments, showing unmistakable phenomena of a polar- front type, are described and illustrated. -
THE ELECTRIFICATION OF CLOUD DROPLETS IN NON-PRECIPITATING CUMULI
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)The magnitude and character of the electrification of natural cloud-droplets have been investigated. Measurements of the electric field at the surface of non-precipitating clouds show that, as a whole, they are electrically ... -
THE EFFECT OF WINDS AND OCEAN CURRENTS ON THE ANNUAL VARIATION IN LATITUDE
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)An elliptical excursion (mean diameter 20 feet), described annually by the pole of instantaneous rotation over the earth's surface, has been deduced from precise astronomic observations of latitude. According to Jeffreys ... -

RELATIONSHIP OF GENERAL CIRCULATION TO NORMAL WEATHER OVER SOUTHERN ASIA AND THE WESTERN PACIFIC DURING THE COOL SEASON
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)As a first step in a study of cool-season (November through April) weather over southern Asia and the western Pacific, an analysis of the relationship of the general circulation to normal weather has been attempted. In ... -

DIRECTIONAL PROPERTIES OF MICROSEISMS DURING HURRICANE "EASY" 1951
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
A PERIODIC HEAT-TRANSFER ANALYSIS FOR AN ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH THE EDDY DXFFUSIVITY VARIES SINUSOIDALLY WITH TIME AND LINEARLY WITH HEIGHT
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
THE INCREASE OR DECREASE OF MEAN-FLOW ENERGY IN LARGE-SCALE HORIZONTAL FLOW IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)The transfer of energy between mean flow and disturbance for a barotropic non-divergent fluid is investigated by solution of the vorticity equation to obtain initial tendencies corresponding to assigned flow-patterns. The ... -
ON THE SCALAR-VORTICITY AND HORIZONTAL-DIVERGENCE EQUATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)It is desirable to treat the horizontal divergence as well as the vertical component of vorticity in reasoning about the wind field. One reason for this is that the vorticity is connected with the intensity of disturbances, ... -
CONTINUOUS GENERATION OF A CLOUD FOR LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)No Abstract Available -
LINE ABSORPTION AND RADIATIVE EQUILIBRIUM
(American Meteorological Society, 1952)Radiative-equilibrium temperature distributions (e.t.d.'s) are derived for a line-absorbing atmosphere in which the absorption coefficients are given by the Lorentz collision-broadening formula. The line half-width is ...
