Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify what effects are responsible for the observed temperature field, in particular the lower-level cold core, in the trough region of a convectively active tropical easterly wave ...

Abstract: Visible and infrared atmospheric transmittances measured through falling snow have shown a wavelength dependence in which extinction is greater for longer wavelengths. The diffraction component of the energy scattered by ...

Abstract: GATE Phase III A/B- and B-scale data were analyzed and used to diagnostically test the first-order vorticity equation proposed by Cho et al. The results are given in the form of a composite easterly wave and the analysis ...

Abstract: Based on 69 tests, recommendations are made for immediate revision o design standards and necessary additional research on timber connectors. he mean safety factor for four‐connector joints is alarmingly low at .88 for the ...

Abstract: The predictability properties of a fixed heating version of a GCM in which the moist heating is specified beforehand are studied in a series of identical twin experiments. Comparison is made to an identical set of experiments ...

Abstract: A procedure is introduced to derive a general balance condition for synoptic-scale disturbances in the tropics. The condition describes a balance between the mean pressure and momentum fields, and the pressure forcing by ...

Abstract: The improvement of the building stocks represents an enormous potential for the reduction of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to convince and support building owners to invest in sustainable ...

Abstract: The midwest cyclone of April 1, 1960 is described from the standpoint of a series of TIROS cloud photographs. Cloud features having different appearances are related to the air masses and mechanisms involved. The cloud ...

Abstract: The effects of trade wind strength and the diurnal heating cycle on the production of summer trade wind rainfall on the windward side of the island of Hawaii are examined from the data collected from the Hawaiian Rainband ...
