More on the La Porte Anomaly: A Review
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)The anomalous behavior of the precipitation in northwestern Indiana (the La Porte anomaly) since the late 1930s has been extensively studied and debated. Local records suggested an upward shift in warm season rainfall, ... -
The Rationael for Future Weather Modification Research
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)A new national effort dealing with planned and inadvertent weather modification has been recommended. The contention is that this readiness stems from finally learning important facts about how to properly design and conduct ... -
Misinterpretations of Precipitation Probability Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Previous studies have suggested that the general public misinterprets probability of precipitation (PoP) forecasts, leading some meteorologists to argue that probabilities should not be included in public weather forecasts. ... -
Intense Atmospheric Vortices Associated with a 1000 MW Fire
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Observations of vortices of various types produced in a large thermal plume are described. The apparatus used to generate the plume is the Météotron, an array of 105 fuel oil burners with a total heat output of approximately ... -
Project Green Thumb: A Demonstration in Wisconsin
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)A prototype of NOAA's proposed Green Thumb agricultural information dissemination system was demonstrated at five different sites across Wisconsin during the period July?October 1979. Those viewing the system were asked ... -

Focus on Forecasting: A Synoptic Analysis of the 25–26 January 1978 Blizzard Cyclone in the Central United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Based on detailed surface analyses and National Meteorological Center (NMC) facsimile products, the evolution of the January 1978 midwestern blizzard-producing cyclone is described. The behavior of the storm is contrasted ... -
Prospects for Industrial Meteorology in the 1980s
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Industrial meteorology has been growing rapidly in the past few years as a result of an improved business climate and increased receptivity on the part of business to specially tailored weather information. It is probable ... -
Regular Monthly Mean Temperatures of Earth's Oceans from Satellites
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Comparisons of satellite-derived monthly mean sea surface temperature anomalies with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) ship-derived monthly mean sea surface temperature anomalies over the North Pacific Ocean reveal ... -
