An Analysis of Mesoscale VAS Retrievals Using Statistical Structure Functions
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Statistical structure functions are used to evaluate sounding data from the 6?7 March day of the 1982 AVE/VAS Ground Truth Field Experiment. Functional analyses are performed for five observation times starting at 1200 GMT ... -
Results of Seeding for Dynamic Effects on Rain-Cell Properties in FACE-2
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Volume scan radar studies incorporating the use of an elaborate method of defining and tracking convective rain cells through their lifetime have been used to a) Explore and verify, in quantitative terms, the basic tenet ... -
Observations of the Marine Boundary Layer Thermal Structure over the Gulf Stream during a Cold Air Outbreak
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Thermal structure of the marine boundary layer (MBL) was studied during a five-day cruise over the coastal Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina. Three different synoptic conditions were present: ahead of a low moving along ... -
Climatology of High-Latitude Air Pollution as Illustrated by Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)High latitude communities frequently have severe air pollution problems. The usual situation is the release of moderate amounts of pollutants into an atmosphere with extremely poor dispersion. The poor dispersion is in ... -
Warm Season Nocturnal Precipitation in the Great Plains of the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)This paper identifies temporal and spatial patterns in the diurnal cycle of hourly warm season precipitation events over the Great Plains of the United States. Results from 30 years of hourly precipitation records from 515 ... -

Climatic Pattern Analysis of Three- and Seven-Day Summer Rainfall in the Central United States: Some Methodological Considerations and a Regionalization
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)This paper presents the results of climatic pattern analyses of three- and seven-day summer (May?August) rainfall totals for the central United States. A range of eigenvectorial methods is applied to 1949?80 data for a ... -
Particles in the Lower Troposphere over the High Plains of the United States. Part I: Size Distributions, Elemental Compositions and Morphologies
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Airborne measurements are presented of particle size distributions obtained during spring and summer at various locations in the High Plains of the United States. Two main particle modes are apparent: an accumulation mode ... -
Particles in the Lower Troposphere over the High Plains of the United States. Part II: Cloud Condensation Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Analyses are presented of 270 cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) spectra measured in the mixing layer over the High Plains of the United States during the springs and summers of 1975 and 1976. Frequency distributions of the ... -
Particles in the Lower Troposphere over the High Plains of the United States. Part III: Ice Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)One hundred and fifty-five ice nucleus (IN) spectra were measured from an aircraft at various locations over the High Plains of the United States during the springs and summers of 1975 and 1976. Frequency distributions of ... -
A Parameterization of Broadband Conversion Factors for METEOSAT Visible Radiances
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The conversion of radiances measured by the METEOSAT visible channel into broadband radiances can be performed as long as the appropriate conversion factors are known. A simple model allowing a spectral description of the ... -
Indications of the Urban Heat Island in Athens, Greece
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The analysis of air temperature data for a period of 22 years in the meteorological network stations in the greater Athens area shows clearly the effect of the urban heat island due to the city. This effect appears with ... -
El Niño and Atmospheric Water Vapor: Observations from Nimbus 7 SMMR
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Atmospheric water vapor over the global oceans is remotely sensed from the Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) measurements for about five years?January 1979 to September 1983. Based on the data for ... -
Atmospheric Circulation Changes Associated with the Warming over the Northern North Atlantic in the 1920s
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)A sharp increase in the Arctic mean winter temperature occurred around 1920. The occurrence of consistently positive temperature anomalies at Spitsbergen (starting in 1919), Iceland (1921) and Greenland (1926) subjoined ... -
Comments on “Physical Interpretation of Results from the HIPLEX-1 Experiment”
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The aircraft measurements from the HIPLEX-1 weather modification experiment have been examined to determine if the nature of the change of liquid water content (LWC) in the supercooled portion of the clouds can be simply ... -
Comments on “Extreme High Temperature Events: Changes in Their Probabilities with Changes in Mean Temperature”

A Simple Stochastic Model of the Precipitation Process
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)A simple and rather general model of the precipitation process is reviewed and some applications and comparisons are made using data from Sweden. This model has been used by several authors so the article is partly a survey ... -

Comparison of Sea Level Pressure Reconstructions from Western North American Tree Rings with a Proxy Record of Winter Severity in Japan
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Reconstructions of winter (December-February) sea level pressure (SLP) from western North American tree-ring chronologies are compared with a proxy record of winter severity in Japan derived from the historically documented ...
