MEASUREMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC HUMIDITY UP TO 35 KILOMETERS
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Measurements have been made of atmospheric humidity to altitudes as high as 35 kilometers by means of a hygristor ? a humidity-sensitive radiosonde accessory which is essentially a miniature version of the Foxboro Dewcel. ... -

THE APPLICABILITY OF CONTINUOUS-FLUID THEORY IN THE HIGHER ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The validity of the concept of winds in the higher atmosphere is associated with the physical restrictions governing the selection of the infinitesimal volume, or mass element, used in the development of the equations of ... -
SYMMETRICAL DISTURBANCES IN A THIN LAYER OF FLUID SUBJECT TO A HORIZONTAL TEMPERATURE GRADIENT AND ROTATION
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The symmetrical thermal convection of a rotating fluid subject to a horizontal temperature difference is examined. It is shown that the effect of rotation is to inhibit the convection. The extent of this inhibition depends ... -
SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON NORMAL MONTHLY TEMPERATURES
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The concept of a satisfactory normal monthly temperature is considered. January and July mean temperature records at seven stations in the United States are examined. It is found that, except in the western United States ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF RAINDROPS DURING THEIR FALL
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Numerical methods are used to study the changes in the distribution of raindrops with size and in the radar echo, as rain falls. Changes brought about by collisions among the drops, by accretion of cloud, and by evaporation ... -
HARMONIC WAVE SOLUTIONS OF THE NON-LINEAR VORTICITY EQUATION FOR A ROTATING VISCOUS FLUID
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)With the assumption of non-divergent horizontal flow, harmonic wave solutions of the non-linear hydrodynamic equations for a rotating, viscous fluid are obtained both for the plane and for the sphere. These solutions yield ... -
ON THE ANALYSIS OF 500-MILLIBAR ZONAL WIND PROFILES AND INDEX CYCLES
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Mean geostrophic west-wind profiles are presented from seven years of 500-mb data. A method is out-lined for analyzing these profiles objectively. The appearance and significance of index cycles shown on this objective ... -
AN INFRARED DETECTOR FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE BACK RADIATION FROM THE SKY
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)No Abstract Available -
MEASUREMENTS OF THE ELECTRIFICATION OF SPHERES BY MOVING IONIZED AIR
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The electrical charge transferred to highly insulated spheres by the diffusion of ions from ionized moving air is directly measured. The equilibrium charge is proportional to the logarithm of the ratio of the positive and ... -
THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS, I: MEASUREMENTS AT ROUND HILL FIELD STATION, JUNE–JULY 1953
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)New data concerning the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol particles in two radial size-ranges, 0.08 < r < 0.8 µ and 0.8 < r < 8 µ, were obtained during a four-week period on the Atlantic coast. The samples were ... -
THE ESTIMATION OF CLOUD PARAMETERS BY RADAR
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)Although the radar-reflectivity factor Z = ?Nd6 is a function of the liquid-water content W, median volume diameter d0 (or other characteristic diameter), and breadth of the drop-size distribution, correlations of Z vs. ... -
THE COMPOSITION OF HYGROSCOPIC PARTICLES IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The composition of the larger (> 10?12 g) hygroscopic particles in the atmosphere was investigated, with use of a phase-transition method. Particles were collected on stretched spider webs exposed from an aircraft, and ... -
DIFFUSION CHARGING OF ATMOSPHERIC DROPLETS BY IONS, AND THE RESULTING COMBINATION COEFFICIENTS
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The role of ionic diffusion in electrically charging drops in the atmosphere is investigated. Space charge and chemical adsorption being neglected, exact expressions are obtained for the charging rate and the average ... -
THE MERIDIONAL TRANSPORT OF KINETIC ENERGY IN THE ATMOSPHERE
(American Meteorological Society, 1954)The meridional transport of kinetic energy in a flow pattern composed of an arbitrary mean zonal current and a cellular or wave perturbation flow is studied. It is found that the meridional transport of kinetic energy in ...
