Abstract: If the human race is to survive it must develop the ability to estimate the consequences of the instability-producing actions it is able to take as a result of its powerful technology. A carefully constructed computer model ...

Abstract: Tropopause and level of maximum wind charts are derived from objective analyses of the 500-, 300-, 150- and 100-mb height and wind fields. Regression equations, based on 24-hr changes, are developed to permit reconstruction ...

Abstract: Most current objective analysis schemes require a rather subjective pre-specification of ?weight curves? in their interpolation formulae. This has the effect of preordaining, to a certain extent, the manner in which the ...

Abstract: An experimental design procedure is proposed for use as a guide in optimal sensor placement and sampling during meteorological data gathering expeditions. State-of-the-art knowledge about the structure of the phenomenon ...

Abstract: The requirement addressed by this study is that of estimating the rainfall over a given area within a given accuracy. Decision criteria are given explicitly, historical data sets are used to obtain the necessary statistics, ...

Abstract: The conversion of energy from available potential to kinetic is broken into spectral components in a manner which permits the study of this process in the vicinity of an extra-tropical cyclone. A case history is presented ...
