    • SOME VARIATIONS IN EUROPEAN CLIMATIC TEMPERATURE 

      Fay, Richard (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      An attempt is made to depict mean circulation patterns associated with observed-temperature climate changes in northwest Europe during the period 1780?1930. Use is made of observed pressure gradients associated with warm ...

    • THE RADIATION BUDGET OF THE STRATOSPHERE 

      Ohring, George (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The radiation budget of the northern-hemisphere stratosphere, as a function of the mean thermal structure and composition of the stratosphere, is determined for the months of January, April, July, and October. Emission of ...

    • THE CONCENTRATION OF CHLORIDE, SODIUM, POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, AND SULFATE IN RAIN WATER OVER THE UNITED STATES 

      Junge, Christian E.; Werby, R. T. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The distribution of yearly averages of the concentration of various inorganic ions in rain water over the United States is discussed. The major source of Cl?is the ocean. The Cl?/Na+ ratio, however, is considerably less ...

    • A STUDY OF THE LARGE-SCALE SPECTRA OF SOME METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS 

      Henry, Robert M.; Hess, Seymour L. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      Methods are developed for determining the contribution by each harmonic wave component to the geostrophic kinetic energy of meridional and zonal motion, and to the geostrophic fluxes of angular momentum and enthalpy. ...

    • SPECTRA OF LARGE-SCALE ATMOSPHERIC FLOW AT 300 MILLIBARS 

      Benton, George S.; Kahn, Arthur B. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      Data at 300 mb for January-February and July-August, 1949, are used to compute spectra of atmospheric turbulence as a function of wave number along various latitude circles. Power spectra are computed for the zonal and ...

    • NOTE ON RADIATIVE DIVERGENCE AS DETERMINED BY THE "BLACK BALL" 

      Suomi, V. E.; Businger, J. A.; Kuhn, P. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      No Abstract Available.

    • THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENT LINEAR STATISTICAL OPERATORS FOR THE PREDICTION OF SEA-LEVEL PRESSURE 

      White, R. M.; Cooley, D. S.; Derby, R. C.; Seaver, F. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The design of efficient linear statistical operators for the 24-hour prediction of the sea-level pressure distribution over the United States is considered. Factor analysis techniques for reduction and selection of independent ...

    • SOME OBSERVATIONS OF THE PERSISTENCE OF THE SURFACE PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION 

      Shapiro, Ralph (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      Observations of the persistence of the surface pressure distribution are compared for two regions of the northern hemisphere. One region covers most of North America ; the other region is comparable in size and is centered ...

    • HURRICANES AND THE SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE FIELD 

      Fisher, Edwin L. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The behavior of hurricane tracks and the variations of the intensity of hurricanes are investigated in a study of the sea-surface temperatures around eleven hurricanes. By the use of several methods of analysis, it is found ...

    • MEASUREMENTS OF THE SIZE AND ELECTRIFICATION OF DROPLETS IN CUMULIFORM CLOUDS 

      Phillips, B. B.; Kinzer, Gilbert D. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The size and the free electric charge of more than 6000 individual natural cloud droplets have been measured. The measurements were made at a mountain laboratory in southeastern United States in strato-cumulus clouds and ...

    • THE AVERAGE SLOPE OF THE SURFACE WIND 

      Deardorf, James W. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      No Abstract Available.

    • COMMENTS ON "COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF RELATIVE VORTICITIES COMPUTED FROM GEOSTROPHIC AND OBSERVED WINDS" 

      Grundy, N. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      No Abstract Available.

    • ON THE ISOTROPY OF LARGE-SCALE DISTURRANCES IN THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE 

      Ogura, Yoshimitsu (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      As a preliminary attempt to investigate the applicability of the turbulence theory to the large-scale atmospheric phenomena, the experimental test is made of the isotropy for the large-scale motion of the atmosphere at the ...

    • ON THE STRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MATURE HURRICANE EYE 

      Malkus, Joanne S. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      An attempt is made to derive the significant features of a mature hurricane eye in terms of a simplified model of the physical processes undergone by the air composing it. In particular, a quantitative relation is prescribed ...

    • BLACK-BALL OBSERVATIONS AND THE RADIATION CHART 

      Gergen, John L. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      This paper presents comparisons of experimentally determined radiation temperatures using the black ball, with such temperatures calculated using the Elsasser radiation chart. The comparisons show that, in general, the ...

    • ELECTRICALLY CHARGED DROPS FROM BUBBLES IN SEA WATER AND THEIR METEOROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE 

      Blanchard, Duncan C. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      A modification of Millikan's classic oil-drop experiment was used to determine the electric charge and radius of drops that were ejected from a bursting bubble at an air-sea water interface. Charge measurements were made ...

    • INVESTIGATION OF EXTENDED OVER-WATER RANGES OF LOW-SITED RADAR 

      Sabransky, F. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      An investigation of the extension of radar ranges coincidental with the existence of surface-based superrefractive layers is discussed using data obtained during the operation of a low-sited overwater radar link. Instrument ...

    • MESOANALYSIS OF THE ILLINOIS TORNADOES OF 9 APRIL 1953 

      Fujita, Tetsuya (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
