METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSTABILITY LINES
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)Results obtained from a diagnostic study of instability lines are presented. The results indicate that an instability line is associated with low-level horizontal convergence brought about primarily by the variation of the ... -
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN WIND AND HEIGHT ON AN ISOBARIC SURFACE
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)Since the two point correlations of winds on an isobaric surface approximate those expected from a two-dimensional isotropic turbulence, it follows that in a flow that is geostrophic the two point correlations of wind and ... -
OBSERVATIONS ON THE SEPARATION OF PAIRS OF NEUTRAL BALLOONS AND APPLICATIONS TO ATMOSPHERIC DIFFUSION THEORY
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The effect on instantaneous source diffusion of initial source size and diffusing time are studied from observations on the rate of separation of pairs of ?zero lift? balloons. The data indicate that the similarity concept ... -
THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE WAVE WITH A COEFFICIENT OF DIFFUSIVITY WHICH VARIES PERIODICALLY WITH TIME AND EXPONENTIALLY WITH HEIGHT
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The partial differential equation for heat diffusion is numerically integrated by the Runge-Kutta method. Solutions are obtained for the diurnal temperature variation with a bounded coefficient of eddy diffusivity which ... -
SOME HEMISPHERIC SPECTRAL STATISTICS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The results of computations of the spectrum of the eddy kinetic energy, the angular momentum transport, and the transfer of kinetic energy between the eddies and the mean motion, for the month of January 1949, are presented. ... -
EYE REGION OF HURRICANE EDNA, 1954
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The eye region of Hurricane Edna (1954) is studied with the principal aid of radar and dropsonde data. Vertical sections show that over the eye there was a thick layer derived from the wall cloud which bounded the eye on ... -
AN INSTABILITY LINE DEVELOPMENT AS OBSERVED BY THE TORNADO RESEARCH AIRPLANE
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)A case study of the formation of an instability line traversed by the tornado research airplane before, during and after development is presented. Five traverses at the 800-mb level and two traverses at the 700-mb level ... -
ON THE COMPARISON OF ONE OR MORE SETS OF PROBABILITY FORECASTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)General expressions for the expected score for accuracy, score for skill and for operational value of the forecasts are developed and discussed. The expressions are then applied to the special case of two-class predictors ... -
A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP OF GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES TO 300-MB TROUGH DEVELOPMENT
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)No Abstract Available. -
ON THE MERIDIONAL CIRCULATION AND RELEASE OF KINETIC ENERGY IN THE TROPICS
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)The mean meridional circulation is computed for the northern hemisphere winter. The equatorward current in the low troposphere has a strength of l?3 mps near 10 to 15 deg lat, and the return current, centered near 200 mb, ... -
ON THE MECHANISM OF LARGE-SCALE VERTICAL MOTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1958)An equation is derived from the linearized equations of planetary aerodynamics which expresses the vertical component of velocity as a function of baroclinity, static stability, geostrophic vorticity, and geostrophic wind ... -
