Stability of the Surface Layer and Its Relation to the Dispersion of Primary Pollutants in St. Louis
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The role of atmospheric stability in the lowest 30 m in characterizing the dispersion of the primary pollutants CO, NO and hydrocarbons is investigated using the 1976 air quality data set for St. Louis. Stability is ... -
Summertime Three-Dimensional Wind Field Above Sacramento, California
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)An observational study of the three-dimensional structure of the wind field over Sacramento, California, is reported. The observations were made with a double-theodolite network during the summer period. Although the ... -
Stochastic Simulation of Atmospheric Trajectories
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Methods are presented for generating an ensemble of synthetic atmospheric trajectories. These include methods for a set of independent trajectories, and methods for a correlated set of sequential trajectories. The models ... -
Spruce Budworm Moth Flight and Storms: Case Study of a Cold Front System
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Field studies in New Brunswick on the dispersal and redistribution of night-flying spruce budworm moths have made particular use of detailed synoptic analysis, weather radar (ground and airborne), and airborne Doppler ... -
Formation of Sulfate in a Cloud-Free Environment
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A model of sulfate aerosol growth, containing homogeneous gas kinetics, particle growth by coagulationand heteromolecular diffusion, and solar radiation effects has been developed to examine the microphysicalmechanisms ... -
The Use of Pressure Fluctuations on the Nose of an Aircraft for Measuring Air Motion
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)An air-motion sensing technique is described for measurement of attack and sideslip angles and dynamicpressure. The sensing probe consists of an array of five pressure holes in the standard radome of a twin-jetresearch ... -
Observations on the Relation of the Shortwave Reflectivity of Recently Deposited Snow to its Physical Properties
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The integrated albedo for solar radiation in the 0.4?0.7 ?m wavelength range was measured near noon over a wet snow cover before and after a new snowfall. Observed values were compared with those estimated from measurements ... -
Remote Sounding of Cloud Parameters from a Combination of Infrared and Microwave Channels
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This study explores the utilization of both infrared and microwave sounding channels for the inference of the high and low cloud parameters. The necessary parameterized equations for infrared and microwave radiative transfer ... -
The West Bend, Wisconsin Storm of 4 April 1981:A Problem in Operational Meteorology
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This paper presents an analysis of a thunderstorm system that spawned a downburst and an F4 anticyclonictornado in the West Bend, Wisconsin area in the early morning of 4 April 1981. The tornado caused threefatalities and ... -
Production of Ice Particles in Clouds Due to Aircraft Penetrations
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Evidence is presented that the passage of an aircraft through supercooled clouds can produce high concentrations of ice particles (> 1000 L?1 at ?8°C in one case). These Aircraft Produced Ice Particles (APIPs) are ... -
Spectral Distribution of Solar Radiation in the Nordic Countries
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)In 1977 a cooperative research project between the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norwayand Sweden) was started. The objective was to chart the spectral distribution of solar radiation in the Nordicarea with ... -
Observations and Modeling of Downward Radiative Fluxes (Solar and Infrared) in Urban/Rural Areas
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Pollutants (gaseous and aerosol) contained in urban atmospheres alter radiative fluxes at the surface.Numerous radiative models have been developed, and while few experimental data are available, results areoften contradictory. ... -
Ground-Based Remote Sensing of Temperature Profiles by a Combination of Microwave Radiometry and Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)This paper describes the results of a three-week experiment in which ground-based microwave radiometricmeasurements were combined with VHF radar measurements of tropopause height to yield vertical temperature profiles. ... -
Determination of Supercooled Liquid Water Content by Measuring Rime Rate
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A ground-based technique is described for determining the liquid water content of supercooled clouds orfog by measuring the mass rate of rime accumulation on a small rotating wire. Development of the techniqueis described, ... -
Drainage Flow Prediction with a One-Dimensional Model Including Canopy, Soil and Radiation Parameterizations
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)A mathematical model for simulation of winds over mountain slopes was developed and tested withobservations from Australia and the western United States. The model computes profiles of wind andtemperature normal to the ... -
Conditional Sampling of Turbulence in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Conditional sampling and averaging techniques are used to obtain statistics of convectively-driven quasi-ordered structures at a height of 4 m within the atmospheric surface layer. The fraction of time 'y occupiedby these ... -
Estimating Plume Dispersion-A Comparison of Several Sigma Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)The lateral and vertical Gaussian plume dispersion parameters are estimated and compared with fieldtracer data collected at II sites. The dispersion parameter schemes used in this analysis include Cramer'sscheme, suggested ... -
Satellite-Derived Surface Energy Balance Estimates in the Alaskan Sub-Arctic
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) data for 12 May 1978 were used in an energy balance modelto estimate evapotranspiration in sub-Arctic Alaska following snowmelt. The HCMM scene contained severalareas of melting snow ... -
Impact of Climatic Factors on Early Life Stages of Atlantic Mackerel, Scomber Scombrus, L.: An Application of Meteorological Data to a Fishery Problem
(American Meteorological Society, 1983)Climate influences the abundance of Atlantic mackerel, Scomberscombrus, in several ways. In the southerncontingent, the timing of the spawning migration is functionally related to sea surface temperature. Wefound this ... -
Drought Recurrence in the Great Plains as Reconstructedfrom Long-Term Tree-Ring Records
