Abstract: A description is given of a program of observations, carried out over a three-year period, of the sub-millimeter (far-infrared) emission spectrum of the stratosphere. From the discrete emission lines which occur in this ...

Abstract: The local meteorological events leading up to the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis on 2 August 1991 ware captured in full-resolution GOES visible data being archived for the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification ...

Abstract: A recent comparison between data taken by two different satellite instruments, the Interferometric Monitor of Greenhouse Gases (IMG) that flew in 1997 and the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) that flew in 1970, ...

Abstract: The observation of changes in the earth?s spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) provides a direct method of determining changes in the radiative forcing of the climate system. An earlier study showed that ...

Abstract: Crop-hail damage in the ten Midwest corn belt states is examined during the period 1957?81. Estimates of crop losses due to hail are made from hail insurance data for each state and each significant crop in the region. The ...

Abstract: The concern for energy conservation has led to the development and use of heat recovery systems which reclaim the building internal heat before it is discarded in the exhaust air. On the ...

Abstract: The effects of severe thermal and pressure transients on coated substrates with indentationinduced, blister defects were analyzed by experimental and finite element methods. Cohesive zone properties evaluated in a previous ...

Abstract: The high degree of cancellation between longwave (LW) and shortwave (SW) cloud radiative forcing (CRF) observed in the Pacific warm pool region has generally been assumed to be a property of all convective regions in the ...
