    • THE USE OF SILVER IODIDE AS AN AIR TRACER 

      Schaefer, Vincent J. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      No Abstract Available.

    • CONCERNING THE MECHANICS OF HURRICANES 

      Pjeffer, Richard L. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The balance of angular momentum in the mature hurricane is examined quantitatively. It is found that the cyclonic angular momentum which ultimately appears in the hurricane is first introduced into the atmosphere within ...

    • CUMULUS CLOUD PRECIPITATION AS REVEALED BY RADAR-ARIZONA 1955 

      Braham, Roscoe R. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      An AN/TPS-10 radar, located at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona, has been used to make extensive measurements of radar returns from cumulus clouds in the vicinity of Tucson. Data from ten days ...

    • TURBULENCE AROUND TROPICAL CUMULI 

      Ackerman, Bernice (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The rapid fluctuations in airspeed experienced by an airplane have been used to define the areal distribution of turbulence associated with a cumulus cloud. In the majority of clouds examined, the turbulence was not confined ...

    • AGEOSTROPHIC DEVIATIONS AND WIND PROGNOSES 

      Kochanski, Adam (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      This paper examines apparent ageostrophic deviations at 300 and 200 mb over the United States, their relationship to upper-air synoptic patterns, and the extent to which ageostrophic deviations affect wind forecasts made ...

    • A HIGH-ALTITUDE RADIOSONDE HYPSOMETER 

      Conover, Walter C.; Stroud, W. G. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      Efforts to improve the basic design of a high-altitude radiosonde hypsometer have resulted in a working model consisting of a small vacuum flask filled with cotton which has been saturated with carbon-disulfide, and in ...

    • ABSORPTION AND SCATTERING OF SOLAR ENERGY IN CLOUDS OF “LARGE WATER DROPS”—II 

      Fritz, Sigmund (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      A brief description of the basic method used to compute the absorption of solar energy in clouds is given. The numerical results of computations are presented. These include: 1. the absorption in thick clouds as a function ...

    • THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF OZONE RADIATIONAL HEATING RATES IN THE VICINITY OF THE MESOPEAK 

      Craig, Richard A.; Ohring, George (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      Radiational heating of the mesosphere results principally from absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone. For conditions of photochemical equilibrium, the amount of ozone present near the mesopeak depends critically on ...

    • A GRAPHICAL PREDICTION MODEL INCORPORATING A FORM OF NONADIABATIC HEATING 

      Reed, Richard J. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      A two-level graphical prediction model is extended so as to include the effects of heating of cold air by relatively warm water. Orographic effects are also included in the model. The model is applied to a case of a major ...

    • THE LAYER OF MAXIMUM WIND 

      Reiter, Elmar R. (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      The three-dimensional wind field in the vicinity of the jet stream is defined with the aid of four parameters: mean wind speed and direction, thickness, and mean altitude of the Layer of Maximum Wind (LMW). Routine methods ...

    • THE OBSERVED MEAN MONTHLY WIND FIELDS IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE AND UPPER TROPOSPHERE OVER NORTH AMERICA 

      Chiu, Wan-cheng (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      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 ...

    • EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE ICE-FORMING ABILITY OF VARIOUS CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES 

      Fukuta, Norihiko (American Meteorological Society, 1958)
      A careful survey of the methods for measuring ice nucleation was made. Errors of previous investigations based on the relationship between the time lag of ice formation and the falling velocity of ice particles through a ...

    • THE CORRELATION BETWEEN WIND AND PRESSURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE 

      Buell, C. E. (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      No Abstract Available.

    • THE STRUCTURE OF THE JET STREAM CORE 

      Endlich, R. M.; McLean, G. S. (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      Typical jet stream characteristics are illustrated by discussions of an average, a strong and a weak jet stream. The basic data were obtained by aircraft of Project Jet Stream in flights carried out mainly over the ...

    • COMMENTS ON "MEASUREMENTS OF CLOUD DROP-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS" 

      Penndorf, Rudolf (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      No Abstract Available.

    • MOISTURE ANALYSIS AND WATER BUDGET IN THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STORMS 

      Bradbury, Dorothy L. (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      With use of the mean observed wind and mean mixing ratio in layers of 100-mb thickness, the water budget was computed for three different types of cyclone development. The results indicated a fair agreement between the ...

    • THE CORRELATION BETWEEN WIND AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE 

      Eutchings, J. W. (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      No Abstract Available.

    • FURTHER STUDIES OF THERMALLY DRIVEN MOTIONS IN A ROTATING FLUID 

      Kuo, H-L. (American Meteorological Society, 1957)
      The transitions from the lower forced symmetric regime to the wave regime, within the wave regime itself and from the wave regime to the upper symmetric regime, are discussed by making use of the solution of a simplified ...
