Abstract: From about five years (1952 to 1956) of radiosonde data over the United States, taken by fifteen radiosonde stations that had been conducting four observations a day, the mean temperatures at the four observational hours ...

Abstract: The wind and temperature spectra of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over selected North American stations are constructed, by means of Tukey's method, from rawinsonde and radiosonde data taken by these stations. ...

Abstract: The spectra of large-scale eddy transfer of angular momentum and heat were constructed for seven levels, ranging from 700 mb to 50 mb over Belmar, N. J., and at the 300-mb and 200-mb levels over Cocoa, Florida. It is found ...

Abstract: The mean monthly wind fields at five different levels from the 300-mb surface to the 30-mb surface were constructed from rawinsonde data taken by stations in North America and adjacent waters over the four year period from ...

Abstract: The motion of the atmosphere, with its climatological trend and periodic components excluded, is considered to be a stationary random process, under the control of macroscopic factors such as the solar constant, the rate ...

Abstract: The National Meteorological Center's tropical grid data together with sea surface temperature (SST) data at several Pacific stations wore used to test Bjerknes? hypothesis that, through the mechanism of momentum transport, ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of an optimized version of cable-sliding friction aseismic bearing system, which is a spherical bearing combined with a set of cables to control the ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental program conducted to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of three reduced-scale bridge pile foundations submerged partially or totally ...

Abstract: The temperature variation at a fixed point in the free atmosphere or at a point which moves vertically with an isobaric surface is a result of the combined effect of radiation, horizontal advection of heat, vertical ...
