Radar Measurement of Rainfall—A Summary
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Radar can produce detailed precipitation information for large areas from a single location in real time. Although radar has been used experimentally for nearly 30 years to measure rainfall, operational implementation has ... -
Pulsed Laser Doppler Measurements of Wind Shear
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A pulsed CO2 laser Doppler system was used to monitor thunderstorm gust fronts. Wind shears associated with the gust fronts were measured and tracked. -
Impact of Satellite Temperature Sounding Data on Weather Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The concept of radiometric sounding of atmospheric temperature profiles from satellites was first demonstrated with data gathered by infrared spectrometers on the Nimbus-3 satellite in 1969. Operational satellite sounding ... -
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Years of Meteorology at the University of Wisconsin
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)tract -
Celebration of 30th Anniversary, Department of Meteorology, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 17–18 November 1978

Tropical Cyclone Intensity Determination Through Upper-Tropospheric Aircraft Reconnaissance
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)It is proposed that attention be given to the possibility of tropical cyclone intensity determination through upper-tropospheric jet aircraft reconnaissance. The cyclone's upper-level temperature anomaly and its gradient ... -
The Case for Doppler Radars Along Our Hurricane Affected Coasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Hurricanes cause sporadic devastation along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts despite intensive research and a warning system that integrates satellite surveillance, aircraft re-connaissance, and a network of coastal radars. ... -
On the Need to Evaluate Operational Weather Modification Projects
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Use Of weather modification by farm groups, state agencies, and power companies to perform operational projects continues to expand. Seven percent of the United States experienced cloud seeding during 1977. The major ... -
Great Historical Events That Were Significantly Affected by the Weather: 4, The Great Famines in Finland and Estonia, 1695–97
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)In the years 1694 to early 1697, cold winters and cool and wet springs and autumns led to extreme famine in northern Europe, particularly in Finland, Estonia, and Livonia. It is estimated that in Finland about 25?33% of ... -
Applications of Tropical Cyclone Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The extensive research in tropical cyclone modeling during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in a number of applications for real-time track prediction. A review of the characteristics of these 3-dimensional dynamical models ... -
Detailed Analysis of Composited Digital Radar and Satellite Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A technique is developed to digitally composite satellite and radar imagery in a common coordinate reference frame. Results obtained from using Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) visible and infrared ... -
Satellite Studies of the Stratospheric Aerosol
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The potential climatological and environmental importance of the stratospheric aerosol layer has prompted great interest in measuring the properties of this aerosol. In this paper we report on two recently deployed NASA ... -
Trends in Skill of Daily Forecasts of Temperature and Precipitation, 1966–78
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Forecasts of minimum temperature and precipitation amount at Boston have been made and evaluated in the Department of Meteorology, MIT, in essentially the same format since 1966. These forecasts refer to the first through ... -

Prospecting for Meteorological Energy in Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Hawaii, with no indigenous fossil fuel resources, is particularly susceptible to oil shortages; hence, surveys have been underway for some time to evaluate the potential of wind and insolation as alternate energy sources. ... -

Hurricane Surge Potentials Over Southeast Louisiana as Revealed by a Storm-Surge Forecast Model: A Preliminary Study
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A storm-surge model developed in 1977 for Southeast Louisiana predicts sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes (SLOSH). Primary model output is the average water level conditions over a finite geographical area. The ...
