    • Climate and the Colorado River: The Limits of Management 

      Rhodes, Steven L.; Ely, Daniel; Dracup, John A. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      The flooding in the lower basin of the Colorado River during the spring and summer of 1983 led to discussion of the management of the heavy spring runoff from the upper basin. This analysis stresses that the reasons for ...

    • Observations from Space and Thermal Convection: A Historical Perspective 

      Agee, Ernest M. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      An abbreviated historical account of the evolution of the satellite meteorology program is presented. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the satellite and its space platform for observing and studying atmospheric ...

      Roosen, Robert G.; Angione, Ronald J. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      A combination of published and archival observations from the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (APO) is presented and analyzed. This paper concentrates on the data from the two primary sites?Mount ...

    • Atmospheric Science Experiments Applicable to Space Shuttle Spacelab Missions 

      Robertson, F. R.; Goodman, S. J.; Wilson, G. S.; Christian, H. J.; Fichtl, G. H.; Vaughan, W. W. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      The present lack of a lower atmosphere research satellite program for the 1980s has prompted consideration of the Space Shuttle/Spacelab system as a means of flying sensor complements geared toward specific research problems, ...

    • The Radio and Telelvision Seal of Approval Program of the Society: Augmentation of Policies and Procedures 

      Baum, Werner A. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      No abstract available.

    • The Status of the NOAA Outgoing Longwave Radiation Data Set 

      Gruber, Arnold; Krueger, Arthur F. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites have provided over eight years of observations from which estimates of the earth's total longwave emittance can be derived. Changes in satellite instrumentation, ...

    • New Clues for Decoding Hailstone Structure 

      Pflaum, John C. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      Within a temperature controlled cold room, using a horizontal wind tunnel and a bank of water sprayers, rime deposits of various densities were grown on rotating cylinders. Experiments were conducted at ambient temperatures ...

    • Boundary Layer Experiment—1983 

      Stull, Roland B.; Eloranta, Edwin W. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      Interactions between fair-weather cumulus clouds and mixed-layer thermals were the focus of a one-month field experiment in Oklahoma. This experiment, called Boundary Layer Experiment?1983 (BLX83), combined remote sensors, ...

    • Meeting the Challenge of Climate Service in the 1980s 

      Hecht, Director, Alan D. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      No abstract Available.

    • Potentially Useful Additions to the Rural Model Performance Evaluation 

      Irwin, John; Smith, Maynard (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      No abstract available.

    • Review of the Attributes and Performance of 10 Rural Diffusion Models 

      Smith, Maynard E. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      An American Meteorological Society committee, working cooperatively with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has sponsored a peer review and evaluation of 10 rural diffusion models that are now used in regulatory ...

    • Stereo-Pair Photographs of Monsoon Clouds 

      Warner, Charles (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      A technique for viewing stereo-pairs of photographs is described. Stereo-pairs are used to illustrate the slender structure of cumulus clouds generally observed during the Winter and Summer Monsoon Experiments; the visual ...

    • Some Estimates of the Reading Grade Level of College Textbooks in Meteorology 

      Ruscher, Paul H. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      For many years, readability indices have been utilized to estimate the reading grade level (RGL) of textual material. They have been used chiefly for primary and secondary grade level material, but are applicable to ...

    • The Life and Science of Alfred H Woodcock 

      Blanchard, Duncan C. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      No abstract available.

    • Airborne Doppler Lidar Wind Field Measurements 

      Bilbro, J.; Fichtl, G.; Fitzjarrald, D.; Krause, M.; Lee, R. (American Meteorological Society, 1984)
      A coherent Doppler lidar has been used in an aircraft to measure the 2-dimensional wind field in a number of different atmospheric situations. The lidar, a pulsed CO2 system, was installed in the NASA Convair 990. Galileo ...
