PRECIPITATION IN ARIZONA CUMULUS AS A FUNCTION OF CLOUD SIZE AND TEMPERATURE
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
ON LIMITATIONS TO PREDICTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)An expression is obtained for the limit to certainty of perfect prediction, in terms of the amount of verification data and the detail of the predictand. Related expressions are developed for the number of effective ... -
EFFECTS OF THE SCALE OF SPATIAL AVERAGING ON THE KINETIC ENERGIES OF SMALL-SCALE TURBULENT MOTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)The variations of the mean-motion kinetic energy and the eddy kinetic energy with scale of averaging are studied in a laboratory experiment of small-scale turbulence. Velocities and velocity products are spatially averaged ... -
SOME STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CYCLONES AT 500 MILLIBARS
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)Geographical frequency distributions of cyclones and cyclogenesis, and frequency distributions of the 24-hour displacement of cyclones, at the 500-millibar level over the northwest quadrasphere, based on six years of 500-mb ... -
DROP SIZE AND RADAR STRUCTURE OF A PRECIPITATION STREAMER
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)A detailed analysis is presented of the structure of an isolated precipitation streamer and of its drop-size history observed at the ground. The pattern aloft and the reflectivity structure through the melting zone are ... -
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTION ON THE INITIATION OF RAIN
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)Measurements in a giant expansion chamber show that the size of newly formed cloud droplets depends critically upon the cleanliness of the processed air. Droplets formed in ordinary air are small, but droplets large enough ... -
CRYSTALLIZATION OF SUPERCOOLED WATER BY ULTRASONIC IRRADIATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
A STUDY OF THE HEAT FIELD OF THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)Fundamental aspects of the heat balance of the atmosphere and of the atmospheric heat circulation are investigated. The distribution of heat amounts in different layers and in particular months is studied, and analytic ... -

CHARACTERISTICS OF COLD WINTERS AND WARM SUMMERS OVER SCANDINAVIA RELATED TO THE GENERAL CIRCULATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)Stockholm's seasonal temperature averages, which are roughly representative of much of Scandinavia, are related to the regional and hemispheric tropospheric circulation. The special forms of the general circulation favoring ... -
COMMENTS ON "THE RELATION BETWEEN RAINFALL WHOLE ARGUMENT ON THE CAUSES OF A 6- TO 7-YEAR RAINFALL AND METEOR SHOWERS" PERIODICITY
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
A COORDINATE SYSTEM HAVING SOME SPECIAL ADVANTAGES FOR NUMERICAL FORECASTING
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
THE INFLUENCE OF FINITE OBSERVATION INTERVALS ON THE MEASUREMENT OF TURBULENT DIFFUSION PARAMETERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)The correlation functions obtained from truncated samples are expressed in terms of the sampling length and the correlation functions of the basic stationary random variables. The application of the results to diffusion ... -
STAIN METHOD OF DROP-SIZE DETERMINATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
-
CLEAR-AIR TURBULENCE ASSOCIATED WITH NEGATIVE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -
AN EXPERIMENT IN PROGNOSTICATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)An experiment was conducted during the period 11 January to 21 February 1956, for the purpose of determining the manner in which graphical integrations can best be used in providing prognostic charts for sea level and for ... -
COMMENTS ON "THE SEMI-ANNUAL PRESSURE OSCILLATION, ITS CAUSE AND EFFECTS"
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)No Abstract Available. -

PATTERN IN THE VERTICAL OF SNOW GENERATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1957)The beam of a moderately sensitive 3-centimeter radar has been kept pointed to the zenith. Height/time records of snow echoes for seven winter weeks have been correlated with analyses of standard upper-air data. The major ...
