Measurements of Transformations in the Physical and Chemical Properties of Clouds Associated with Onshore Flow in Washington State
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Preliminary measurements of several physical and chemical parameters associated with clouds in two cases of onshore flow over western Washington suggest that the physical and chemical properties of maritime, cloudy air ... -
Further Observations of the Production of Ice Particles in Clouds by Aircraft
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Evidence is presented for the production of high concentrations of rather uniformly-sized ice crystals in a supercooled stratus cloud by a commercial, turbine, propeller-driven aircraft. -
Comments on “Out-of-Level Instruments: Errors in 1-Hydrometeor Spectra and Precipitation Measurements”
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)No abstract available. -

Wind Direction Meander at a Coastal Site during Onshore Flows
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)About 700 cases of wind direction meander occurred in a three-year period during onshore flow at a Long Island coastal site. Most appeared to be caused by internal gravity waves but some by roll vortices. Each case was ... -
The Identification of 10- to 20-Year Temperature and Precipitation Fluctuations in the Contiguous United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)A potentially fruitful approach to assessing society's sensitivity to climate change is to study the impacts, perceptions and adjustments of recent climate fluctuations. We set out to determine if the recent (1931?82) ... -
Quantitative Estimates of the Effect of Lake Michigan on Snowfall
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)A climatological study of snowfall in the snowbelts of Michigan shows that decade-average amounts varied by a factor of 2 during the period from 1909/10 through 1980/81. The effect of Lake Michigan on total winter snowfall ... -
Some Physical and Chemical Properties of the Arctic Winter Aerosol in Northeastern Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Measurements spanning much of the particle size spectrum were made on the surface aerosol arriving at Igloolik, Northwest Territories, Canada during late February 1982. Vertical profiles of aerosol particle concentration ... -
Microburst Wind Structure and Evaluation of Doppler Radar for Airport Wind Shear Detection
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Doppler weather radar data from the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project are used to determine the horizontal and vertical structure of airflow within microbursts. Typically, the associated downdraft is about 1 km ... -
Modeling of Ice Accretion on Wires
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)A time-dependent numerical model of ice accretion on wires, such as overhead conductors, is presented. Simulations of atmospheric icing are made with the model in order to examine the dependence of the accreted ice amount ... -
Secular Variations in Streamflow in the Western United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Long-term streamflow series in the western United States were examined for evidence of secular changes related to climate. Streamflow series contained appreciable low-frequency variation related to the combined influence ... -
Comments on “Antenna Beam Patterns and Dual-Wavelength Processing”
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)It appears that most hail signals less than zero measured by the National Center for Atmospheric Research CP-2 radar during the National Hail Research Experiment were produced by differences between the two beam patterns. ... -
Comments “On Using Historical Comparisons in Evaluating Cloud Seeding Operations”
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Aspects of the finding, by simulation, that historical/operational target/control evaluations of weather modification projects are radical appear questionable. Their form is simulated but not their content. The radical ... -

The Effect of Irrigation on Warm Season Precipitation in the Southern Great Plains
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)The synoptic and subsynoptic atmospheric processes that accompany statistically determined periods of irrigation-induced rainfall increases during the warm season in the Texas Panhandle are examined. Major results are as ... -
Electrical Atomization of Water Dripping from Melting Ice Pieces and its Possible Role in Thunderstorms
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)When a small isolated ice piece of conical shape is suspended with its apex facing down between two horizontal parallel electrodes and an electric field of 1 to 1.6 kV cm?1 is applied between them with the lower electrode ... -
Transport and Diffusion in the Transition Layer and Planetary Boundary Layer for Drainage Flows in Anderson and Putah Creeks, California, during ASCOT 1980
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Approximately 100 constant-volume, superpressured balloons (tetroons) were tracked in the Anderson and Putah Creek drainages of the Geysers geothermal area of northern California as part of the ASCOT (Atmospheric Studies ... -
Feasibility of Determining Cloud-Top Heights Using the Backscattered Ultraviolet Satellite Observation Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)A technique for determining cloud-top height by means of backscattered ultraviolet (BUV) solar radiation is presented. Cloud-top heights can be inferred using this technique if both the BUV radiance and its degree of ...
