Abstract: Synoptic situations associated with strong air pollution potential in the Salt Lake valley of northwest Utah are described. The trend of low visibilities in smoke during the past 30 years at the Salt Lake airport is shown. ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to develop an objective method of forecasting summer precipitation at Salt Lake City, using moisture variables on a scatter diagram. These variables are surface dew point at Salt Lake City vs. the minimum ...

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine how much if any, the 2-day forecasts for Utah, as issued by the forecast staff at Salt Lake City, would be improved if ?perfect? prognostic charts were available for sea level, 700 ...

Abstract: An empirical study was made of the relationship of precipitation occurrence to linearly interpolated concurrent vertical motion, 500-mb. initial vorticity, vorticity advection, and the average of the 700-mb. and 500-mb. ...

Abstract: For the Salt Lake Valley and adjacent western slopes of the Wasatch Mountains 25-, 50-, and 100-year snow loads were determined, using the theory of extreme probability. Maximum seasonal snow depths were used to estimate ...

Abstract: Areal coverage of precipitation over a subsynoptic-scale and a mesoscale network of stations in north-western Utah for the four seasons is discussed. As would he expected, 100% areal coverage is rare in summer, but, ...

Abstract: Precipitation in the Wasatch Front area of northwest Utah was analyzed with regard to different storm types. It was found that precipitation associated with ?cold lows? aloft was relatively greater at valley than at mountain ...
