RESOLUTION IN HEIGHT OF A RADAR PULSE
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)The resolution in height of a radar pulse is of interest in connection with the observation and interpretation of horizontally stratified echoes, and also in the comparison of values of echo intensity measured at different ... -
THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND SUPERSATURATION ON THE GROWTH HABIT OF ICE CRYSTALS
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)No Abstract Available -
CLIMATIC CHANGE AS REVEALED BY THE FREEZING DATES OF LAKE SUWA IN CENTRAL JAPAN
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)No Abstract Available -

CROSS SECTIONS OF THE MEAN ZONAL FLOW AND TEMPERATURE ALONG 8O°W
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)Mean meridional cross-sections were constructed from the equator to the North Pole along 80°W, for January, April, July and October. The profiles of the zonal flow extend to 25-millibar heights (circa 26 kilometers). The ... -
REPORT OF AN EXPERIMENT IN FORECASTING OF CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)An experiment, aimed at forecasting the formation and intensification of extra-tropical cyclones, was conducted from 4 January 1954 to 20 March 1954. The working hypothesis to be tested was formulated as follows: cyclonic ... -

THE DISTRIBUTION OF SEA-SALT NUCLEI IN AIR OVER LAND
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)Maritime air was followed from the coast, and measurements of seal-salt nucleus distributions were carried out. It was found that the concentrations encountered in air which had been over land for a considerable time ranged ... -
SPORADIC E MOVEMENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)Sporadic E trajectories determined over the United States seem to indicate atmospheric movements at 110 kilometers which are predominantly from the east during summer. Speeds were found to average about 300 km/hour. The ... -
A GENERAL SURVEY OF FACTORS INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT AT SEA LEVEL
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)Sutcliffe's theory of development is reviewed and extended, with particular reference to cyclonic development at sea level. It is shown that cyclogenesis results from an unbalance, in the layer below the level of non-divergence, ... -
THE MECHANISM OF ATMOSPHERIC ICE FORMATION, I: THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF NUCLEATING AGENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)A careful study has been made of the nucleating ability of various chemicals. The nuclei were prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere, rather than air, to prevent a reaction at the hot filament with atmospheric oxygen. With use ... -
SEASONAL AND LATITUDINAL TEMPERATURE CHANGES IN THE OZONOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)A calculation is made of seasonal and latitudinal temperature changes in the ozonosphere which would be caused solely by the absorption by ozone of solar radiation in the Huggins, Hartley and Chappius regions. A constant ... -

COMMENTS ON THE ANNUAL HEAT BALANCE OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -

THE DISTRIBUTION AND DISCHARGE OF THUNDERSTORM CHARGE-CENTERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)The magnitude and location of the charge centers involved in lightning discharges can be determined from the value of the accompanying gradient change at seven points at the ground. Instrumentation, calibration, observation, ... -
THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND AGING OF NATURAL AEROSOLS AS DETERMINED FROM ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL DATA ON THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)A first attempt at surveying the complete size distribution of natural aerosol particles is made. The size range covers more than three orders of magnitude in radius, with approximate limits of 2 ? 10?3 and 5 ? 10?7 cm. ... -
THE EROSION OF CUMULUS TOWERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1955)A differential equation is formulated for the rate of rise of isolated buoyant elements in the atmosphere, based in part on analogy with the work of Davies and Taylor (1950) who studied the ascent of air bubbles in liquid. ...
