Exploration of Extended-Area Treatment Effects in FACE-2 Using Satellite Imagery
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)The second phase of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE-2) has been completed and an exploratory analysis has been conducted to investigate the possibility that cloud seeding may have affected the rainfall outside ... -
Parameterization of Droplet Terminal Velocity and Extinction Coefficient in Fog Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Fog droplet spectra data were obtained in several advection fogs at the AFGL Weather Test Facility at Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts, using two PMS forward-scatter spectrometer probes (FSSP-100). Approximately ... -
The Spatial Analysis of Acid Precipitation Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Kriging, an interpolation procedure that minimizes interpolation error and gives an accurate estimate of that error, is shown to be an appropriate objective analysis procedure for the study of spatial variability and ... -
Cloud Condensation Nuclei Measurements Within Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Measurements of the spectra of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) within and near the boundaries of clouds are presented. Some of the in-cloud measurements excluded the nuclei within cloud droplets; these are interstitial CCN ... -
Wavenumber Dependent Investigation of the Terrestrial Infrared Radiation Budget with Two Versions of the LOWTRAN5 Band Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)Two versions of the LOWTRAN5 radiance code are used in a study of the earth's clear sky infrared radiation budget in the interval 30 cm?1 (333.3 ?m) to 3530 cm?1 (2.8 ?m). One version uses 5 cm?1 resolution and temperature ... -
Nimbus-7 37 GHz Radiances Correlated with Radar Rain Rates over the Gulf of Mexico
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)In a comparison between 37 GHz brightness temperatures from the Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer and rain rates derived from the WSR-57 radars at Galveston, Texas and Apalachicola, Florida, it was found ... -
The Pressure Anemometer—an Instrument for Adverse Circumstances
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A new instrument is presented to measure the wind vector under fouling circumstances, such as spray conditions just above the sea. It is in principle a combination of six pressure tubes, arranged in three mutually orthogonal ... -
Spatial Resolution of the Pressure Anemometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)One of the important characteristics of an anemometer is its spatial resolution. A three-dimensional generalization is given of a method to calculate the transfer function as a function of the wavenumber, devised by Kaimal ... -
On a Sampling Error in Hailpad Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This note deals with a special type of error in hailpad measurements. We call it the ?noise-type error? of the sampling, which originates from the finite area of the pad. It is Shown by a simple model, based on actual ... -
Observational and Theoretical Studies of Solar Radiation in Arctic Stratus Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)A series of clouds-radiation experiments was carried out in June 1980 in Arctic stratus clouds occurring over the Beaufort Sea using the NCAR Electra aircraft. This paper is an analysis of the hemispheric radiation fields ... -

The Icing of an Unheated, Nonrotating Cylinder. Part I: A Simulation Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A model is described which simulates icing on an unheated, non-rotating cylinder. Both rime and glaze ice can be accounted for. The model computes the thermodynamic conditions and the initial icing rate as a function of ... -
Rainfall Measurement Accuracy in FACE: A Comparison of Gage and Radar Rainfalls
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The agreement of radar with raingage rainfall measurements during the second phase of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE-2) is examined. FACE-2 rainfall was measured in a 1.3 ? 104 km2 target area using 111 nearly ... -
Evaluation of the Bridger Range Winter Cloud Seeding Experiment Using Control Gages
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A randomized exploratory single-area cloud seeding experiment was carried out in the Bridger Range of southwestern Montana during the winters of 1969?72. Seeding was accomplished using ground-based silver iodide (AgI) ... -
A Statistical Examination of Nimbus-7 SMMR Data and Remote Sensing of Sea Surface Temperature, Liquid Water Content in the Atmosphere and Surface Wind Speed
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) brightness temperature measurements over the global oceans have been examined with the help of statistical and empirical techniques. Such analyses show that ... -
Standard Ozone Profiles from Balloon and Satellite Data Sets
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Standard profiles based on upper level averaged profiles From BUV and lower level averaged profiles from balloon measurements are presented in a parametric representation as a function of time of year and latitude. The ... -
The Icing of an Unheated, Nonrotating Cylinder. Part II. Icing Wind Tunnel Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)An experimental investigation of icing on non-rotating cylinders, under both wet and dry conditions was undertaken. Airspeeds of 30, 61 and 122 m s?1 appropriate to aircraft icing, liquid water contents of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 ... -
Classification of 500 mb Height Anomalies Using Obliquely Rotated Principal Components
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The objective of this study was to classify 500 mb height anomaly patterns for North America using principal component analysis with oblique rotation. Two versions of the oblique rotation, oblimax and direct oblimin, were ... -
