Multiple-Doppler Radar Network Design
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Observing programs utilizing Doppler radar must have them deployed in optimum locations to best satisfy experimental objectives and maximize economies. One wishes to determine the coordinate triples (xi, yi, zi), where i ... -
Lateral Turbulence Intensity and Plume Meandering During Stable Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)There is much evidence in the literature for the presence of mesoscale lateral meanders in the stable nighttime boundary layer. These meanders result in relatively high lateral turbulence intensities and diffusion rates ... -
Rainfall Analysis by Power Transformation
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Power transformation was used to normalize the peak daily and peak monthly rainfall at various raingage stations in Iraq. Excellent correlations were found between the coefficient of skewness (Cs) and a parameter for power ... -
Some Spatial Characteristics of Drought Duration in the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)By using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) as calculated from state averages of temperature and precipitation and from numerous single station analyses, it has been demonstrated that droughts (as defined by the PDSI) ... -
Baseline Ozone Results from 1923 to 1955
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Baseline total atmospheric ozone values have been derived, using the Chappuis band, from historical data for 11 Smithsonian sites, including both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The main baselines consist of 1194 and ... -
Determination of the Size and Concentration of Cloud Drops with an FSSP
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A detailed size calibration of the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) over the size ranges of interest to cloud physics (2?47 ?m), is presented. The calibration includes laboratory tests with glass spheres, Mie ... -
Evidence of Climatic Change in United States Seasonal Precipitation Data, 1948–76
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A method for determining climatic change in precipitation data is applied to seasonal data for the United States. This method is an analysis of variance procedure with a Markov chain model used to estimate the within-groups ... -
Precipitation from Stratocumulus Clouds Affected by Fallstreaks and Artificial Seeding
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Cloud and precipitation processes in a stratocumulus cloud layer (?1 km thick) were investigated by means of airborne, radar and ground observations for three situations: 1) the stratocumulus alone, 2) fallstreaks from ... -
Out-of-Level Instruments: Errors in Hydrometeor Spectra and Precipitation Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Meteorological instruments which are designed to measure the size spectra of hydrometeors such as hailstones or raindrops or instruments designed to measure cumulative precipitation such as raingages can produce errors if ... -
Turbidity in Eastern Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Unsworth and Monteith's aerosol attenuation coefficient τA was calculated with hourly cloudless sky data at Goose Bay, Montreal and Woodbridge (near Toronto) for the period 1968 to 1978. Turbidity was less on average (τA ... -

The Structure and Phase of Cloud Tops as Observed by Polarization Lidar
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)High-resolution observations of the structure of cloud tops have been obtained with polarization lidar operated from a high altitude aircraft. Case studies of measurements acquired from cumuliform cloud systems are presented, ... -
A Two-Dimensional Histogram Procedure to Analyze Cloud Cover from NOAA Satellite High-Resolution Imagery
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A two-dimensional histogram method for cloud analysis from NOAA satellite high-resolution imagery is presented. The algorithm, using one visible or near-infrared channel and one infrared channel of the Advanced Very High ... -

Price, Weather, and “Acreage Abandonment” in Western Great Plains Wheat Culture
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Multivariate analyses of acreage abandonment patterns in the U.S. Great Plains winter wheat region indicate that the major mode of variation is an in-phase oscillation confined to the western half of the overall area, which ... -
Boundary-Layer Structure Over Tropical Oceans from TIROS-N Infrared Sounder Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)It has been shown by simulation studies that the 13.4, 11.1 and 8.3 ?m spectral radiances are sensitive to the moisture distribution within the boundary layer. If the distribution gets significantly perturbed due to some ... -
Spatial and Temporal Variations of Tropospheric Aerosol Volume Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This is the second of two papers based on extensive airborne measurements of particle size distributions, taken within the lower troposphere at nine sites in western Europe. The first paper focused on the behavior of the ... -
The Impacts of Different Satellite Data on Rain Estimation Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Rain estimates for the Great Plains States were made for a one-month period, August 1979, using different combinations of satellite and other data. The data tested were as follows: 1) two satellite images per day without ...
