The First Air-Temperature Measurements for the Purposes of Battlefield Operations?
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Close to the end of the severe winter 1808/09, a Russian force crossed the ice-bound Gulf of Bothnia from Finland to Sweden with the purpose of forcing Sweden to desist from taking sides with Great Britain against Napoléon. ... -
Evaluation of RADAP II Severe-Storm-Detection Algorithms
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Computer-generated volumetric radar algorithms have been available at a few operational National Weather Service sites since the mid-1970s under the Digitized Radar Experiment (D/RADFX) and Radar Data Processor (RADAP II) ... -
ISCCP Global Radiance Data Set: A New Resource for Climate Research
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The Operational data-collection phase of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project(ISCCP) began in July 1983 as an element of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). Since then, raw images from an international ... -
Results and Interpretations from a Survey on Agriculturally Related Weather Information
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)A survey Of ?top? wheat farmers in 12 counties in western Nebraska was undertaken to help guide future research and extension programs (in agricultural meteorology and economics) in the region. One hundred forty-two farmers ... -
Recent Heavy Precipitation in the Vicinity of the Great Salt Lake: Just How Unusual?
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)A long time series (1863?1984) of area)-average precipitation in the vicinity of the Great Salt Lake is shown to be highly correlated with the Great Salt Lake levels. This time series is used to assess the unusualness of ... -
The Øresund Experiment—A Nordic Mesoscale Dispersion Experiment Over a Land-Water-Land Area
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The atmospheric dispersion process and the modification in the wind field across than 20-km-wide ?resund strait between Denmark and Sweden were studied in this project. The meteorological observational network extended ... -
Scale Invariance, Symmetries, Fractals, and Stochastic Simulations of Atmospheric Phenomena
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)Advances in remote sensing and in situ measurement techniques have revealed the full continuum of atmospheric motions and have underlined the importance of mesoscale processes. This paper examines the implications of three ... -
The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX); Part II: Experimental Plan
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) is a study of the response of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda, the ... -
J.P. Finely: The First Severe Storms Forecaster
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)No abstract available. -
The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX); Part I: Background and Scientific Objectives
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) is a study of the response of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda, the ... -
Airborne Lidar Tracking of Fluorescent Tracers for Atmospheric Transport and Diffusion Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Development and validation of transport models for the study of regional acid deposition require improved observations of pollutant transport and dispersion processes. No suitable method for air-parcel tracking along ... -
An Overview of the ASCOT Multi-Laboratory Field Experiments in Relation to Drainage Winds and Ambient Flow
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Preliminary analyses of the Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain data were conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory to determine how the development and persistence of local nocturnal drainage flow are affected by ... -
J.P. Finley: The First Severe Storms Forecaster
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)During the 19th century, while others were debating about the theory and morphology of tornadoes, Finley set out to prove that tornadoes, like other weather phenomena, could be forecast. He developed forecast rules and ... -
Studies of the Marine Inversion Over the San Francisco Bay Area … A Summary of the Work of Albert Miller, 1961–1978
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)During his tenure in the Meteorology Department at San Jose State University (1961?1978), Professor Albert Miller conducted extensive field investigations of the marine inversion over the San Francisco Bay Area. Measurements ... -
The Role of Radiation and Other Renascent Subfields in Atmospheric Science
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)The horizons of atmospheric science are undergoing a considerable expansion as a result of intense interest in problems of climate. This has caused somewhat of a renaissance in hitherto-neglected subfields of atmospheric ... -
Observation of Lower-Atmospheric Moisture Structure and its Evolution Using a Raman Lidar
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Observations of the water-vapor mixing ratio in the lower atmosphere and its temporal evolution have been made with a Raman lidar. Comparison with an independent radiosonde measurement indicated excellent agreement. The ... -
The Status of the Nimbus-7 Earth-Radiation-Budget Data Set
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Over six years of data from the earth-radiation-budget (ERB)experiment on board the Nimbus-7 spacecraft have been received to date. Five years of data have been archived and are readily available to the scientific community, ... -

(American Meteorological Society, 1985)No abstract available. -
What is a Foehn Clearance?
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)In the present study foehn clearance is described and compared with strong downslope windstorms like the foehn and chinook. The comparison is based on surface and satellite data taken during foehn north of the Alps in ... -
Cold Fronts Research Programme: Progress, Future Plans, and Research Directions
(American Meteorological Society, 1985)Following the analysis of data collected during Phases land II of the Cold Fronts Research Programme (CFRP) a conceptual model for the Australian summertime ?cool change? has been proposed. The model provides a focus and ...
