Relationship between Decreased Temperature Range and Precipitation Trends in the United States and Canada, 1941–80
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Previous work has shown significant decreases of the diurnal temperature range (1941?80) across a network of 130 stations in the United States and Canada. In the present study, changes in monthly total precipitation at ... -
Potential Urban Effects on Precipitation in the Winter and Transition Seasons at St. Louis, Missouri
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Two datasets were used to investigate the potential presence of urban-related precipitation anomalies in the fall, winter and spring seasons St. Louis, Missouri, and to ascertain under what conditions anomalies occurred- ... -
Comments on “Precipitable Water Measurements with Sun Photometers”
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)tract -
A Model for Objective Simulation of Boundary-Layer Winds in an Area of Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)An objective analysis model is formulated to simulate the boundary-layer wind field in an area of complex terrain on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The model is designed to reproduce the effects of the terrain on the undisturbed ... -
A Comparison of Simulated and Observed Boundary-Layer Winds in an Area of Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)The boundary-layer wind field in an area of complex terrain is simulated using an Objective analysis Model. Simulated and observed winds at several stations in the experimental area are compared quantitatively. Wind fields ... -
Prediction of Vessel Icing
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Vessel icing from wave-generated spray is a severe hazard to expanded marine operations in high latitudes. Hardships in making observations during operations, combined with differences in vessel type and heading, have ... -
Uncertainty in Trajectory Calculations Due to Low Resolution Meteorological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Meteorological observations conducted during the Cross Appalachian Tracer Experiment (CAPTEX) were utilized to quantify the uncertainty in boundary layer trajectory calculations due to low-resolution meteorological data ... -
Results from Ground-based Monitoring of Spectral Aerosol Optical Thickness and Horizontal Extinction: Some Specific Characteristics of Dusty Sahelian Atmospheres
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)This paper presents results of 14 months of ground-based measurements of spectral aerosol optical thickness and horizontal extinction together with related studies such as relations between these parameters, meteorological ... -
A Preliminary Assessment of the Importance of Coalescence in Convective Clouds of the Eastern Transvaal
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)For the past three years, a Learjet has been making microphysical measurements in new cloud development on the flanks of multicellular storms in the eastern Transvaal area of South Africa. Data from an imaging probe and a ... -
Comments on “Sampling Errors in Flux Measurements of Slowly Depositing Pollutants”

Pseudospectral Technique for Calculation of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flows
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)A pseudospectral method and its numerical solution algorithm for application to boundary layer problems in the atmosphere are presented. The method introduces the evaluation of a polynomial function when the solution is ... -
Wavelength Dependence of Aerosol Extinction Coefficient for Stratospheric Aerosols
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)A simple empirical formula for the wavelength dependence of the aerosol extinction coefficient is proposed. The relationship between the constants in the formula and the variable parameter in the aerosol size distribution ... -
An Evaluation of Satellite-based Insolation Estimates for Ohio
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS) has developed an operational procedure to estimate hourly and daily totals of global solar radiation (insolation) from geostationary operational ... -
Evaluation of a Surface/Vegetation Parameterization Using Satellite Measurements of Surface Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)This paper compares surface sensible heat flux and soil moisture values derived by inverting two boundary layers models with a surface/vegetation formulation, using surface temperature measurements made from NOAA-7 satellite ... -
Transition of Surface Energy Budget in the Gobi Desert between Spring and Summer Seasons
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)An investigation of the transition between spring and summer seasons of the surface energy budget in the Gobi desert is presented. The motivation behind this study is to determine eventually the degree to which changes in ... -
Tracer Study of Vertical Exchange by Cumulus Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)This paper examines the exchange of material by convective cloud processes between the mixed layer and the overlying free troposphere. It describes results of a field experiment that was conducted in Lexington, Kentucky, ... -
On the Relative Accuracy of Satellite and Raingage Rainfall Measurements over Middle Latitudes during Daylight Hours
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Empirical relationships between visible and/or IR data and rainfall rate are derived by comparing gage-calibrated radar data with colocated satellite information over Montreal, Canada. The accuracy of 1739 point gage-satellite ... -
