HURRICANE SWELL AS A GENERATOR OF MICROSEISMS
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)Seismographs were operated in the Bahama Islands and on the east coast of the United States during the hurricane season of 1950. Data from these instruments do not support the hypothesis that microseisms originate in the ... -
REMARKS ON "SEA SALT IN A TROPICAL STORM"
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)No Abstract Available -
A HEMISPHERIC STUDY OF DAILY PRESSURE VARIABILITY AT SEA LEVEL AND ALOFT
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)The mean spatial distributions of the one-day lag auto-correlation, the standard deviation of interdiurnal pressure change, and the standard deviation of daily pressure are analyzed on maps covering much of the northern ... -
LARGE-SCALE ATMOSPHERIC EXCHANGE PROCESSES AS DIFFUSION PHENOMENA
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)No Abstract Available -
AVERAGE PROCESSES AND REYNOLDS EQUATIONS IN ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)No Abstract Available -
ON A NEW METHOD OR THE STUDY OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE NEAR THE EARTH'S SURFACE
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)No Abstract Available -
STREAMLINE PATTERNS IN EQUATORIAL REGIONS
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)It is found possible to apply simple kinematic methods to some streamline patterns in the tropics. Considerations of the complicated connection between pressure and wind in low latitudes are avoided by these methods. Results ... -
ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING OF SUMMER WEATHER OVER AND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF SOUTH CHINA
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)A brief history is given of summer weather forecasting for south China and its neighborhood, as practiced in Hong Kong, underlining the failure of frontal and air-mass methods of analysis to provide workable models. By ... -
A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF TWO PROPOSED MECHANISMS FOR VERTICAL OZONE TRANSPORT IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)An equation suitable for the study of changes in ozone density in the region of the stratosphere below approximately 25 km is derived and applied to the problem of the observed increase in the ozone content of the layer ... -
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS OF VELOCITIES IN TURBULENT FLOW
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)A conventional anemometer used in the atmosphere or in a wind tunnel measures velocities projected on a plane independently of their directions in the plane. The relation between the frequency distribution of those velocities ... -
VORTICITY TRANSFER AS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GENERAL CIRCULATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)The mechanism of the development and maintenance of the zonal circulation of the atmosphere is discussed from the point of view of vorticity transfer by atmospheric disturbances. Because the disturbances with vorticity ... -
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL AEROSOLS AS FREEZING NUCLEI
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)Measurements of the effectiveness of natural and artificial freezing-nuclei were carried out in a room-size cold chamber. The concentration of natural nuclei varied from approximately one per liter at about ?13C to 1000 ... -
ON THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF SUPERCOOLED CLOUDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)Experiments in a cold chamber indicate that the crystallization of supercooled clouds can not be explained on the basis of the concept of sublimation nuclei. Materials that are not crystalline, and others which do not have ... -
NON-DIMENSIONAL EQUATIONS AND MODELING CRITERIA FOR THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)Examples of the application of a general method, standard in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, for expressing the meteorological equations in systematic non-dimensional form are given. In the case of the equation of motion, ... -
A CASE STUDY OF CONFLUENCE AS RELATED TO THE JET STREAM
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)This is the second report on a continuing project designed to investigate quantitatively the confluence process and associated changes in the strength and location of the mid-tropospheric jet stream. An empirical study has ... -

THE INTERPRETATION OF MICROWAVE REFLECTIONS FROM RAINFALL
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)The theory of the display of rainfall patterns on radar oscilloscopes is reviewed, and the origin and nature of distortions in the resulting echo pattern is considered, with emphasis on those distortions caused by range ... -
A VERIFICATION OF THE BALLY-DORSEY THEORY OF SPICULE FORMATION ON SLEET PELLETS
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)No Abstract Available -
THE GREAT PACIFIC ANTICYCLONE OF WINTER 1949–50: A CASE STUDY IN THE EVOLUTION OF CLIMATIC ANOMALIES
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)The sea-level and 700-mb circulations over the North Pacific and United States from December 1949 to March 1950 are studied with the help of daily charts and means for five-, fifteen- and thirty-day periods. As the period ... -
IONOSPHERIC WIND SYSTEMS AND ELECTRON CONCENTRATIONS OF THE F LAYER
(American Meteorological Society, 1951)In a study of wind systems in the ionosphere, viscous stresses achieve considerable importance. A study of layer thicknesses, resulting from a specified ratio of densities at the top and bottom of the layer, indicates that ...
