An Evaluation of Three Clustering Procedures for Use in Synoptic Climatological Classification
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)The selection of the proper clustering procedure to use in the development of an objective synoptic methodology may have far-reaching implications on the composition of the final ?homogeneous? groupings. The goal of this ... -
Sampling Theory Applied to Measurement and Analysis of Temperature for Climate Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Of all the errors discussed in climatology literature, aliasing errors caused by undersampling of unsmoothed or improperly smoothed temperature data seem to be completely overlooked. This is a serious oversight in view of ... -

Precipitation Discrimination from Satellite Infrared Temperatures over the CCOPE Mesonet Region
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A quantitative investigation of the relationship between satellite-derived cloud-top temperature parameters and the detection of intense convective rainfall is described. The area of study is that of the Cooperative ... -
Recent Temperature Changes during Overcast and Clear Skies in the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)A network of 14 nonurban stations was used as a first step toward understanding the character of change of daily temperature between 1948 and 1983 across the United States. Overall, in the eastern two-thirds of the country ... -
Improving the Performance of Mass-Consistent Numerical Models Using Optimization Techniques
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)This paper describes a technique of using a mass-consistent model to derive wind speeds over a microscale region (about 4 km2) of complex terrain. A serious limitation of these numerical models is that the calculated wind ... -
Numerical Simulation of Orographic Enhancement of Rain with a Mesoscale Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Orographic precipitation enhancement associated with the feeder mechanism proposed by Bergeron has been simulated using a two dimensions model based upon primitive equations including detailed parameter microphysics. A ... -
Examples of Enhanced Global Solar Radiation Through Multiple Reflection from an Ice-Covered Arctic Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Three years of simultaneous measurements of incoming and reflected solar radiation for adjacent snow-free land and ice-covered sea surfaces along the Hudson Bay coastline indicate that multiple reflection enhancement can ... -
Long-Term Associations between Wind Speeds and the Urban Heat Island of Phoenix, Arizona
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)The association between a developing urban heat island and local monthly averaged wind speeds is examined in this investigation. Results from a series of statistical analyses show a significant increase in wind speeds in ... -

Testing the Simple Biosphere Model (SiB) Using Point Micrometeorological and Biophysical Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)The Simple Biosphere model (SiB) of Sellers et al. (1986) was designed for use within General Circulation Models (GCMs) of the earth's atmosphere. The main objective of SiB is to provide a biophysically realistic description ... -
The Southern Oscillation in Surface Circulation and Climate over the Tropical Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and Indian Oceans as Captured by Cluster Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Clusters of sea level pressure (SLP), surface wind, cloudiness, and sea surface temperature (SST) in the domain of the tropical Atlantic, eastern Pacific, and Indian Oceans are introduced and discussed in terms of general ... -
Water Supplies to the Great Lakes—Reconstructed from Tree-Rings
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Correlations between the water supplies to each of the Great Lakes and prewhitened tree-ring chronologies from 16 sites around the Great Lakes suggested some strong associations for the summer months, particularly June and ... -
Secular Change in Reported Surface Wind Speeds over the Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)The Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set reveals that mean scalar winds decreased between 1854 and 1920 and increased since World War II. The latter increase is due to a change in estimating procedure and to the growing ... -
Microphysical and Radar Observations of Seeded and Nonseeded Continental Cumulus Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)Controlled cloud seeding experiments were conducted near Bethlehem, South Africa during the summer of 1984?85. The experimental unit was the semi-isolated cumulus congestus cloud. Microphysical measurements were obtained ... -
Rainfall Variability in Equatorial and Southern Africa: Relationships with Sea Surface Temperatures along the Southwestern Coast of Africa
(American Meteorological Society, 1987)This article presents the results of an analysis of sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the upwelling region along the Benguela coat and its relationship to rainfall variability both along the coast and throughout ...
