An Introduction to Some Historical Governmental Weather Records of China
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)Some historical weather records of China in the governmental archives are discussed. The records in the pre-Qing period (before 1636) am briefly summarized and their use for the reconstruction of past climate is assessed. ... -
First Estimates of the Diurnal Variation of Longwave Radiation from the Multiple-Satellite Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)First results for diurnal cycles derived from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) are presented for the combined Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and NOAA-9 spacecraft for April 1985. Regional scale longwave ... -
Up, Up, and Away: The Reinvigoration of Meteorology in the United States: 1958 to 1962
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)Meteorology (later broadened to the term atmospheric sciences) received a much-needed boost in the United States during the period 1956 to 1962. It was primarily due to the efforts of concerned members of the National ... -
Integration of Space and In Situ Observations to Study Global Climate Change
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)The currently available model-based global data sets of atmospheric circulation are a by-product of the daily requirement of producing initial conditions for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. These data sets have ... -
A Comparison of Winds Observed at Christmas Island using a Wind-Profiling Doppler Radar with NMC and ECMWF Analyses
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)Wind profilers can provide useful wind data from remote regions of the globe, and incorporation of upper-level wind profiler data into analysis products can significantly improve the quality of analyses in data sparse ... -
Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS) Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)A combined atmospheric chemistry-meteorology experiment, the Dynamics and Chemistry of the Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS), was carried out during the summer of 1985 over the eastern Pacific Ocean using the NCAR Electra ... -
The United States' Department of Energy and the People's Republic of China's Chinese Academy of Sciences Joint Research on the Greenhouse Effect
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)The United States Department of Energy and the People's Republic of China (PRC) Chinese Academy of Sciences signed an agreement on 19 August 1987 to carry out a joint research program on the study of CO2-induced climate ... -
An Evaluation and Intercomparison of Global Analyses from the National Meteorological Center and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)In order to help establish a global climate record data sets of global analyses from the U.S. National Meteorological Center (NMC) and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) have been comprehensively ... -
Modern Meteorological Computing Resources—the Maryland Experience
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)The Department of Meteorology at the University of Maryland is developing one of the first computer. systems in meteorology to take advantage of the new networked computer architecture that has been made possible by recent ... -
The Nimbus-7 Global Cloud Climatology
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)A total of six years (April 1979 to March 1985) of continuous measurements from the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), both on the Nimbus-7 satellite, have been ... -
Observations of Marine Stratocumulus Clouds During FIRE
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)During June and July 1987, a major collaborative experiment (part of The First ISCCP [International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project] Regional Experiment (FIRE) took place off the coast of California to study the extensive ... -
