    • An Observation System Used To Study the Marine Boundary Layer Over the Bay of Bengal During Summer Monex 79 

      SethuRaman, S.; Michael, P.; Tuthill, W. A.; McNeil, J. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      An observation system used to study the marine boundary layer over the Bay of Bengal at Digha Beach, West Bengal, India, as part of the International Monsoon Experiments (MONEX 79) is described in this paper. It was a ...

    • Destructive Winds Caused by an Orographically Induced Mesoscale Cyclone 

      Reed, Richard J. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Sustained winds in excess of 70 kt and gusts of close to 100 kt were measured at the Hood Canal Bridge in western Washington on the morning of 13 February 1979 shortly before the bridge collapsed. An extraordinary blowdown ...

    • Present Climatic Cooling and a Proposed Causative Mechanism 

      Agee, Ernest M. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Evidence has been presented and discussed to show a cooling trend over the Northern Hemisphere since around 1940, amounting to over 0.5°C, due primarily to cooling at mid- and high latitudes. Some regions of the middle ...

    • Operational Application of Meteorological Doppler Radar 

      Wilson, James; Carbone, Richard; Baynton, Harold; Serafin, Robert (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Single Doppler weather radar velocity and reflectivity fields have been obtained with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) 5 cm radars for a wide variety of weather situations. Among those weather features ...

    • Lightning Direction-Finding Systems for Forest Fire Detection 

      Krider, E. P.; Noggle, R. C.; Pifer, A. E.; Vance, D. L. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Extensive networks of magnetic direction-finding (DF) stations have been installed throughout the western United States and Alaska to facilitate early detection of lightning-caused fires. Each station contains a new wideband ...

    • The GATE Boundary Layer Instrumentation System (BLIS) 

      Wylie, Donald P.; Ropelewski, Chester F. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      A tethered sonde, the Boundary Layer Instrument System (BLIS), was designed for use from shipboard platforms in the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). This system was able to monitor the thermal and kinematic ...

    • Representativeness of Wind Observations at Airports 

      Wieringa, J. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Wind information for use at airports can be called representative if it provides an optimal estimate of wind variations to be expected over the runway. It is shown that a single anemometer at a nonideal but reasonable ...

    • An Evaluation of the Area Thunderstorm Monitor in an Operational Application 

      Kohl, Douglas A. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      Medium frequency sferics detection equipment has been used successfully for 10 years. Its usefulness is based an the finding that 95% of the alarms occurred when ≥30 dB(Z) radar echoes were present on a WSR-57 radar. The ...

    • Meteorological Instrumentation System on the T-28 Thunderstorm Research Aircraft 

      Johnson, Gary N.; Smith, Paul L. (American Meteorological Society, 1980)
      A T-28 aircraft was specially modified to permit gathering in situ cloud physics and dynamics data from the interior regions of hailstorms. Since its first use in 1969, the T-28 instrumentation and data acquisition system ...
