The Study of Meteorology in the Junior High Schools
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of junior high school science texts shows that meteorology-climatology has a significant place. Unfortunately, the order of treatment often tends to start the study with the more difficult topics. Also, the texts ...
The Diurnal Pressure Wave in Western Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses of mean hourly pressure data for stations in Alberta and British Columbia for January and July show marked diurnal variations. The 12-hr wave is found to fit into the pattern discovered by other scientists. The ...
EDDY SIZES AS DETERMINED BY THE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS AT O'NEILL, NEBRASKA, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 1953
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained at O'Neill, Nebraska, during the summer of 1953, particularly data dealing with temperature fluctuations, have been examined to obtain information on eddy sizes. It was found that under conditions of lapse ...
VARIABILITY OF ANNUAL PRECIPITATION IN CANADA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From computed values of the coefficient of variation of precipitation for Canada and northern United States, the distribution of this variable across Canada is determined. The minimum variability increases as one moves ...
Spatial Variation of Precipitation over the Canadian Prairies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous analyses of precipitation trends over the Canadian prairies have shown that the trends through the years have differed for different valleys. This result prompted an analysis of precipitation to discover further ...
MEASURES OF THE VARIABILITY OF PRECIPITATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study is made of the usefulness of four different measures of the relative variability of precipitation. It is discovered that the two measures, the difference between the extremes divided by the median, are subject to ...
A Study of Causes of Hail
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis has been made of the incidence of hall in southern Alberta during the years 1959?1963. The study has shown that warm air is necessary for major hail. An effective lower limit of ?1C at 700 mb in the vicinity ...
