    • Winds, Upwelling and Fog at Cape Cod Canal, Massachusetts 

      Woodcock, Alfred H. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      New observations confirm the formation of advective fogs over the western approaches to the Cape Cod Canal. The large air-water temperature differences required for the formation of these fogs are shown to occur when the ...

      Smith, Paul L.; Dennis, Arnett S.; Silverman, Bernard A.; Super, Arlin B.; Holroyd, Edmond W.; Cooper, William A.; Mielke, Paul W.; Berry, Kenneth J.; Orville, Harold D.; Miller, James R. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      The design and conduct of HIPLEX-1, a randomized seeding experiment carried out on small cumulus congestus clouds in eastern Montana, are outlined. The seeding agent was dry ice, introduced in an effort to produce microphysical ...

    • Enhancement of Convective Precipitation by Mesoscale Variations in Vegetative Covering in Semiarid Regions 

      Anthes, Richard A. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      It is hypothesized that planting bands of vegetation with widths of the order of 50?100 km in semiarid regions could, under favorable large-scale atmospheric conditions, result in increases of convective precipitation. ...

    • The Area-Time Integral as an Indicator for Convective Rain Volumes 

      Doneaud, AndréA.; Ionescu-Niscov, Stefano; Priegnitz, David L.; Smith, Paul L. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      Digital radar data are used to investigate further a simple technique for estimating rainfall amounts on the basis of area coverage information. The basis of the technique is the existence of a strong correlation between ...

    • Some Tropical Rainfall Rate Characteristics at Ile-Ife for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Applications 

      Ajayi, G. O.; Ofoche, E. B. C. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      Some characteristics of rainfall rate relevant to the evaluation of microwave attenuation due to tropical rainfall are presented, making use of rain rate data collected with a rapid response raingage at Ile-Ife between ...

    • HIPLEX-1: Statistical Evaluation 

      Mielke, Paul W.; Berry, Kenneth J.; Dennis, Arnett S.; Smith, Paul L.; Miller, James R.; Silverman, Bernard A. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      Results of statistical analyses for HIPLEX-1, a randomized cloud seeding experiment, are presented. The analyses are based principally on multi-response permutation procedures (MRPP) as specified before the HIPLEX-1 ...

    • Physical Interpretation of Results from the HIPLEX-1 Experiment 

      Cooper, William A.; Lawson, R. Paul (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      The general characteristics of the clouds that were included in the HIPLEX-1 experiment are reviewed, and the results for the response variables are interpreted in light of other measurements from the instrumented aircraft. ...

    • CORRIGENDUM 

      Unknown author (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
