A Hydrologic Reanalysis of the La Porte Anomaly
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The 1929?64 precipitation record at La Porte was analyzed through the use of a budgetary hydrologic model. Pre- and postanomaly data allowed accurate estimation of stream discharge for the La Forte region, but use of the ... -
Meeting Reviews: Third AMS Conference on Atmospheric Radiation, 28–30 June 1978, University of California, Davis, Calif.
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)No abstract available. -
How a Severe Winter Impacts on Individuals
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The winter of 1977?78 was the worst, on the basis of both low temperatures and snow, on record in Illinois and many other areas of the Midwest. Representatives of 70 households in central Illinois participated in a detailed ... -

Climatological Usefulness of Satellite Determined Sea-Surface Temperatures in the Tropical Pacific
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Two different satellite estimates of sea-surface temperature (SST) have been compared with observed temperature sections in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The satellite products were found to be biased with respect ... -
Some Trends in Forecast Skill at the National Severe Storms Forecast Center
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Tornado watch and severe local storm outlook verification statistics reveal the trends in forecast skill at the National Severe Storms Forecast Center. The skill level of the outlook has been steadily increasing since 1973. ... -
The ENIAC Computations of 1950—Gateway to Numerical Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The first numerical weather prediction was made on the ENIAC computer in 1950. This lecture gives some of the historical background of that event and a partially narrative account of it. -
Meteorological Records from Ancient Chronicles of China
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Meteorological records extracted from three ancient Chinese chronicles are presented. These records cover a time span from 2187 B.C. to 3 A.D. Some interesting climatological variations are noted. -
A Technique for Coding Boundary Layer Echoes from Surface-Based Remote Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)In recent years studies have provided a physical or meteorological interpretation of many echo types observed by surface-based remote sensors. The proliferation of remote sensors that continuously monitor the structure of ... -
An Information Storage and Retrieval System Using a Minicomputer
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)An information storage and retrieval system, designed for use on a minicomputer, was created to access an office collection of articles and reports on the topic of hail. Search capabilities of the system include author, ... -
Atmospheric Electrical Plume Detection: Theory and Field Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Airborne atmospheric electrical measurements may be useful in studies of air pollution, turbulence, and aerosol distributions. A short summary of the electrical nature and behavior of the atmosphere is given relative to ... -
Probabilistic Temperature Forecasts: The Case for an Operational Program
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The case for an operational program involving the formulation and dissemination of probabilistic temperature forecasts is presented. First, the need for information concerning the uncertainty in temperature forecasts is ... -
NWS Hazardous Weather Terminology
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The hazardous weather terminology used by the National Weather Service has slowly evolved since the beginning of a U.S. weather service in the 1800s. Use of the terms watch and warning has proved to be the most controversial ... -

Great Historical Events That Were Significantly Affected by the Weather: 3, The Cold Winter of 1657–58, The Swedish Army Crosses Denmark's Frozen Sea Areas
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)In the summer of 1657, Denmark launched hostile actions against Sweden. Charles X, king of Sweden, who at the time was engaged in a war in Poland, marched his army at great speed to Jutland, the westernmost part of Denmark. ... -
Computer Worded Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A computer program is available that produces public weather forecasts in worded form from digital forecasts of weather elements. This program was designed to be implemented concurrently with the AFOS (Automation of Field ... -
Earth-Atmosphere Radiative Heating Based on NOAA Scanning Radiometer Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)A brief description of an earth radiation budget data set, as determined from NOAA operational spacecraft, is presented. The data are continuous from June 1974 through February 1978. Some samples of the mapped outputs are ... -
The Improved NWS Storm Spotters’ Training Program at Ft. Worth, Tex.
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)This paper describes improved methods of training volunteer tornado spotters in the National Weather Service's Skywarn program. The updated training program emphasizes the most likely tornado spawning area within a ... -
Dew-Monitoring Network in the Southeast
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)A network for monitoring dew in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida is described. Data collected include the time dew begins and dries, total duration, and relative maximum intensity. An analysis of 4 years of dew data for Auburn, ...
