A New Covariate Ratio Procedure for Estimating Treatment Differences with Applications to Climax I and II Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A new covariate ratio procedure is presented for estimating a treatment-induced effect. The procedure 1) allows for uncontrolled natural variability, 2) adjusts for disproportionate allocation of non-treated and treated ... -
Retrieval of Clear Sky Moisture Profiles using the 183 GHz Water Vapor Line
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A technique for retrieving vertical moisture profiles from downlooking radiometric measurements of atmospheric radiation near the 183 GHz water vapor line is described. A simulation experiment utilizing this retrieval ... -
Three-Dimensional Wind Field Analysis from Dual-Doppler Radar Data. Part III: The Boundary Condition: An Optimum Determination Based on a Variational Concept
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The choice of the boundary condition when integrating the air mass continuity equation, is a major problem of the 3D wind field analysis from dual (or multiple) Doppler radar data. A zero vertical velocity at ground level ... -
The Structure of the Asian Monsoon Surface Wind Field over the Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This paper examines the structure of the summer monsoon over the Indian and western Pacific Oceans by analyzing the surface wind data from marine data sets for the period of 1860 to 1970. It is found that the southern edge ... -
Refractive Index and Size Distribution of Aerosols as Estimated from Light Scattering Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Angular distributions of the intensity of light scattered by airborne particles were measured for both parallel and perpendicularly polarized components. A precision polar nephelometer was constructed for use of this study. ... -
A Technique for Investigating Graupel and Hail Development
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A technique is described for simulating the development of particles in a storm when data on the internal composition and wind-field structures are available. Simulations such as these can be used to investigate particle ... -
Multidimensional Analysis of Hailpatterns in the Grossversuch IV Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Statistical analyses of 104 natural hailpatterns recorded on the dense hailpad network of the Grossversuch IV experiment in Switzerland (1975?78) were carried out using standardized principal component analysis. Each ... -
Microstructure of Ice Accretions Grown on Aluminum Conductors
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)In order to study the microstructure of glaze and rime deposits formed on the conductors of power lines, ice accretions are grown on a slowly rotating aluminum cylinder placed in the working section of a wind tunnel. The ... -
An Application of Chemical Kinetic Theory and Methodology to Characterize the Ice Nucleating Properties of Aerosols Used for Weather Modification
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Chemical kinetic theory and methodology is applied to examine the ice nucleating properties of silver iodide (AgI) and silver iodide-silver chloride (AgI-AgCl) aerosols in a large cloud chamber held at water saturation. ... -
Three-Dimensional Wind Field Analysis from Dual-Doppler Radar Data. Part II: Minimizing the Error due to Temporal Variation
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)One of the major problems in three-dimensional wind field analysis from dual (or multiple) Doppler radar data resides in the non-stationary of the observed air flow within the volume sampling time which ranges typically ... -
Three-Dimensional Wind Field Analysis from Dual-Doppler Radar Data. Part I: Filtering, Interpolating and Differentiating the Raw Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This paper is the first of three dealing with the three-dimensional wind field analysis from dual-Doppler radar data. Here we deal with the first step of the analysis which consists in interpolating and filtering the raw ... -
Climatology of Superadiabatic Conditions for a Rural Area
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Temperature measurements taken over a 6-year period from a 32 m tower are used to study the climatology of low-level superadiabatic conditions in a rural area. Plots of monthly distributions of event commencement times and ... -

A Practical Approach to Flux Measurements of Long Duration in the Marine Atmospheric Surface Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The practical limitations imposed by the marine environment on the principal flux-measurement methods for experiments requiring more than a few days? duration are examined. Reservations are presented as to the suitability ... -
On the Evaluation of Wind Power from Short Wind Records
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A method to estimate the meteorological mean wind power of a given site and year based upon data of only three months is presented. It is based on the minimization of the rms errors between observations and a representation ... -
A Comparison of Computed and Observed Insolation under Clear Skies over the Pacific Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)In an effort to verify computational methods for ocean heat budgets, observations of insulation under clear skies for 26 days were compared with values computed by a formula previously derived from the Smithsonian Tables. ...
