LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS OF THE GROWTH AND COLLECTION EFFICIENCY OF RAINDROPS
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Determinations were made of the rate of growth of a drop of water supported by an upward flow of a cloud whose free water content and droplet-radius distribution were measured. The water content was varied through a range ... -
ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AT THE GROUND UNDER ACTIVE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Electric field intensity-measurements were made at eight stations near the 25 May 1955 tornado which devastated Udall, Kansas. Simultaneous records are reproduced, showing the electrical activity throughout the near passage ... -
THE POSITION AND SHAPE OF IMPACTED WATER DROPLETS IN AN OIL FILM
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)No Abstract Available -
NEW METHOD FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATION OF SHAPE AND SIZE OF A LARGE NUMBER OF FALLING SNOW PARTICLES
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)A simple method has been devised for taking shadow photographs of snow crystals, or of their melt water, without use of a lens. It permits study of the form, size, and mass characteristics at intervals of several minutes ... -
BUOYANCY AND PRECIPITATION IN TROPICAL CUMULI
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Observations made in and around tropical cumuli in the vicinity of Puerto Rico have been used to determine the presence of precipitation and to obtain estimates of cloud buoyancy. It is shown that the development of ... -
POWER-SPECTRUM ANALYSIS OVER LARGE RANGES OF FREQUENCY
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)It is shown that a spectrum covering a large range of frequencies can be found by superposing estimates of spectra of means over periods of different lengths. The method is illustrated by the power spectrum of temperature ... -
THE HYPERELECTRIFICATION OF RAINDROPS BY ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRIC FIELDS
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The role of atmospheric electric fields in selectively charging raindrops is analyzed and compared with direct measurements made inside an active thunderstorm. Expressions are developed for the free charge transferred to ... -
A THEORY OF LARGE-SCALE DISTURBANCES IN NON-GEOSTROPHIC FLOW
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The primary aim of this article is to derive a complete system of modified hydrodynamical equations which govern a large class of ?meteorological? motions of the atmosphere, but which cannot generate solutions corresponding ... -
COMMENTS ON "HEAT BUDGET OF A WATER COLUMN, AUTUMN, NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN"
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)No Abstract Available -
THE DETECTION OF ATMOSPHERIC DUST AND TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS BY TWILIGHT SCATTERING
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Equipment designed to detect variations in the rate of change of illumination from a small part of the sky during twilight was used in the hope of locating layers or regions of dust particles in the atmosphere. The ... -

AN EXPERIMENT IN LOW-LATITUDE NUMERICAL PREDICTION WITH THE BAROTROPIC MODEL
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The experiment consisted of a total of twenty 24-hour numerical forecasts of the 500- and 200-millibar topography, prepared for periods during the spring and summer months. These forecasts, which were made with the barotropic ... -
ON METEORS AND RAINFALL
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)The correlations of heavy rainfall and of noctilucent clouds with meteor streams are examined with regard to the known facts of meteor astronomy. Photographic and radar observations show that the general influx of sporadic ... -
DIFFUSION OF SMOKE IN THE STRATOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Data from the High Altitude Dust Diffusion Project have been analyzed, and the rates of growth of 18 smoke puffs produced in the upper troposphere and stratosphere are presented. There was an increase in the rate of growth ... -
MIE SCATTERING COEFFICIENT FOR WATER DROPLETS IN AIR
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)No Abstract Available -
CORRIGENDUM
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Correction to Volume 11, Issue 5, Article 373. -
COMMENTS ON "CLIMATIC CHANGE AS REVEALED BY THE FREEZING DATES OF LAKE SUWA IN CENTRAL JAPAN"

A PREDICTION MODEL FOR CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT INTEGRATED BY FJÖRTOFT'S METHOD
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)A set of prediction equations based on a 2½-dimensional model is derived. These equations are integrated graphically for ten cases of sea-level cyclogenesis. The resulting forecasts for the 1000-mb surface indicate accuracies ... -
A MULTI-LEVEL BAROCLINIC MODEL APPLICABLE TO NUMERICAL PREDICTION
(American Meteorological Society, 1956)Subject to various approximations, a system of partial differential equations is developed which is capable of forecasting the height of and vertical motion at the various pressure surfaces. Various techniques of numerical ...
