THE ROLE OF ADSORPTION IN HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION, II: THE ADSORPTION OF WATER VAPOR ON PHOTOLYZED SILVER IODIDE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Studies have been made of the adsorption of water vapor on photolyzed silver iodide. Adsorption isotherms, run at +20 and ?20C, have been compared with the isotherms of water vapor on unphotolyzed silver iodide at the same ... -
TURBULENT DISPERSION OF DYNAMIC PARTICLES
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)This article discusses turbulent dispersion of particles whose size and inertia are such that it cannot be assumed that they will follow exactly the fluctuations of the fluid elements with which they are associated. The ... -
CRITERIA FOR VERTICAL TRANSFER OF ENERGY

SOME CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN PREPARING LONG-RANGE FORECASTS BY NUMERICAL METHODS
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Basic problems encountered in the preparation of medium- and long-range forecasts by numerical methods are revealed through the use of time-averaged charts. It is found that forecasts up to five days in advance may be ... -
CORRELATION OF THE INITIAL ELECTRIC FIELD AND THE RADAR ECHO IN THUNDERSTORMS
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The time of onset of the initial electrification in a thunderstorm cell has been correlated with the appearance of the initial radar (3 cm) precipitation-echo. The results show that precipitation is a necessary, but not ... -
EMPIRICALLY DETERMINED DISTRIBUTIONS OF HOURLY TEMPERATURES
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)This article presents an empirical relationship for determining the monthly distribution of hourly temperatures from the monthly mean, mean maximum, and mean minimum temperatures. It is a demonstration that distributions ... -
A NOTE ON THE ATMOSPHERIC SOLITARY WAVE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)An attempt is made to show that a single elevation of permanent type may exist in a two-layer atmosphere at the interface between the two layers. The compressibility of the air, friction, the earth's rotation, and its ... -
GRAVITY WAVES AND THE TROPICAL SEA BREEZE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The dominant atmospheric pressure oscillations recorded by a microbarovariograph at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are explained as perturbations from internal gravity waves on the sea-breeze interface, aloft. The variograph traces ... -
INTERPRETATION OF THE HEIGHT-VERSUS-TIME PRESENTATION OF RADAR ECHOES
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The height-versus-time presentation of radar echoes (used with radars of 1.25- and 0.86-centimeter wave-length) is a record of the precipitation and of some of the clouds passing directly over the radar. Such a record ... -
INFRARED DETERMINATION OF PRECIPITABLE WATER VAPOR IN A VERTICAL COLUMN OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The transmission of the water-vapor absorption bands at 0.96, 1.1 and 1.4 microns is used as the determinant of the total precipitable water vapor in the path of solar radiation. The method was originated by Fowle, and the ... -
STUDIES OF SMALL-SCALE TURBULENT DIFFUSION IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The dispersion of smoke puffs has been used as a method of measuring turbulent diffusion in the atmosphere. Some of the basic equations of turbulent diffusion as applied to the dispersion of small-scale smoke puff and are ... -

FURTHER EVIDENCE OF A SOLAR-WEATHER EFFECT
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)An analysis of the sea-level pressure distribution over North America for 47 years (1899?1945) provides what appears to be firm evidence of a solar-weather effect and tends to confirm an earlier pilot study. A pronounced ... -

A NEW METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF OZONE FROM A GROUND STATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)A new method for determining the vertical distribution of ozone, utilizing only surface observations, has been developed. Infrared and ultraviolet observations are used to complement one another. The theoretical background ... -
THE RELATION BETWEEN SPACE AND TIME CORRELATIONS IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Previously, analysis of the Eulerian time correlation has been restricted to the limiting cases of very small turbulence level (G. I. Taylor's hypothesis) and very large turbulence level. In the atmosphere, the turbulence ...
