Influence of Local Land-Surface Processes on the Indian Monsoon: A Numerical Study
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Twelve July integrations were made with the GLAS (Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres) GCM (General Circulation Model) to investigate the influence of changes in the land-surface fluxes over the Indian subcontinent on the ... -
Deducing the Microphysical Character of Precipitation from Multiple-Parameter Radar Polarization Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Radar polarization measurements are influenced by the distribution of shapes (weighted by the index of refraction) and the fall behaviors of the hydrometeors. In so far as precipitation-sized hydrometeors are symmetric ... -
The Disposition of Silver Released from Soviet OBLAKO Rockets in Precipitation during the Hail Suppression Experiment Grossversuch IV. Part II: Case Studies of Seeded Cells
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)This paper describes analyses of data collected from four seeded storms during the 1978 summer program of Grossversuch IV in Switzerland. The storms all met the Soviet criteria for hail-forming potential and were seeded ... -
Convective Motion in the Cumulus Subcloud Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)An observational study of convective motion in the cumulus subcloud layer was made by remote sensing from the ground. The vertical distributions of three-dimensional wind components are observed by a Doppler acoustic sounder ... -
The Schematics of Balance of Forces in the Planetary Boundary Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)It is pointed out that in a rotating frame of reference, the friction force on a fluid element may not be parallel and opposite to the velocity vector, as commonly depicted in textbook schematics of the force balance in ... -
Comments on “Measurement and Prediction of Traffic-Induced Turbulence and Velocity Fields Near Roadways”
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)No abstract available. -
Daily Rainfall Probabilities: Conditional upon Prior Occurrence and Amount of Rain
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)A generalization of the chain-dependent process is proposed to describe daily rainfall. The model allows probabilities of rain occurrence to depend on the amount of rain in the day before. The influence of the antecedent ... -

Surface Temperature Changes Following the Six Major Volcanic Episodes between 1780 and 1980
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Examined is the effect on surface temperature of the volcanic eruptions of Asama and Laki in 1783, Tambora in 1815, Coseguina in 1835, Krakatoa in 1883, Santa Maria, Soufrière and Pelée in 1902, and Agung in 1963, using ... -
A Nocturnal Atmospheric Drainage Flow Simulation Investigating the Application of One-Dimensional Modeling and Current Turbulence Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)We developed a one-dimensional boundary layer model to simulate nocturnal atmospheric drainage flow on a simple forest-covered slope using canopy, soil and radiation parameterizations from previous studies along with ... -
The Southern Oscillation and Tree Rings: 1600–1961
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Variations of the Southern Oscillation (SO) significantly influence surface climate over a large part of the globe. In the first part of this study we show that teleconnection patterns known from the instrumental record ... -
A Relationship Between Acid Precipitation and Three-Dimensional Transport Associated with Synoptic-Scale Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Field data collected during APEX (Acid Precipitation Experiment) are used in combination with an isentropic trajectory model to analyze the relationship between acid precipitation and three-dimensional transport associated ... -
Measuring the Global Distribution of Intense Convection over Land with Passive Microwave Radiometry
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The global distribution of intense convective activity over land is shown to be measurable with satellite passive-microwave methods through a comparison of an empirical rain rate algorithm with a climatology of thunderstorm ... -
Himalayan Summer Snow Cover and Withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)In this paper the relationship between Himalayan summer snow cover area and withdrawal of the Indian summer monsoon from northwest India to 15°N of peninsular India is examined for the period 1971?81. A direct relation ... -
ISCCP Cloud Algorithm Intercomparison
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) will provide a uniform global climatology of satellite-measured radiances and derive an experimental climatology of cloud radiative properties from these ... -
An Adjustment for the Effects of Observation Time on Mean Temperature and Degree-Day Computations
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Biases in mean temperatures due to differing times of daily maximum and minimum temperature observation cause problems in evaluation of temporal and spatial anomalies in temperature and derived degree day values. These ... -
The Detection of Long-Term Changes in Stratospheric Ozone: Scientific Requirements and Current Results from Satellite-Based Measurement Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The ability to detect subtle trends in upper stratospheric ozone places strict requirements on satellite-based Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV) sensors intended for this purpose. Simulation of the long-term change in ... -
Evaporation and Humidity Profiles for Neutral Conditions over Rugged Hilly Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)An analysis was made of vertical profiles of mean specific humidity in the hilly pre-Alpine region in Switzerland under conditions of new neutral atmospheric stability. The profile data were derived from radiosonde ... -
Effects of Shear, Stability and Valley Characteristics on the Destruction of Temperature Inversions
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)A dry two-dimensional version of the Colorado State Cloud/Mesoscale Model was used to study the morning, inversion destruction cycle in a variety of deep mountain valley configurations. Eleven simulations were run to examine ... -
The Relationship between Tibet-Tropical Ocean Thermal Contrast and Interannual Variability of Indian Monsoon Rainfall
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)During the northern summer the Tibetan Plateau is a heat source for the atmosphere, and the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Cold Tongue is a heat sink, both contributing to the thermal forcing of large-scale quasi-zonal atmospheric ...
