Legal Response to Environmental Concerns about Weather Modification
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)Legal response to environmental concerns about weather engineering was minimal until the late 1960's when state laws began to tighten regulation of cloud seeding operations. The state statutes of the 1970's made possible ... -
Effects of Weather Variables on the Prices of Great Plains Cropland
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)The market price of land intended for agricultural use is closely and directly related to its long-term productivity which depends, inter alia, upon regional climatology and the individual farm's soil quality. Low-quality ... -
Ecological Ramifications of Silver Iodide Nucleating Agent Accumulation in a Semi-Arid Grassland Environment
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)The possible ecological effects of silver iodide accumulation in soil which might result from weather modification were examined by use of a 2.5 year old randomized treatment plot in a semi-arid grassland to define possible ... -
Can the Changes in Cloud Thickness be Monitored from Satellite-Brightness Measurements?
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)tract -
Comments on “Hail in the Vicinity of Organized Updrafts”
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)tract -
Weather Modification: Where Are We Now and Where Should We Be Going? An Editorial Overview
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)No abstract available. -

Summary of Observations Indicating Dynamic Effect of Salt Seeding in Warm Cumulus Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)Measurements of cloud liquid water content and temperature were made along with visual observations in 32 traverses carried out in six warm cumulus clouds subjected to salt seeding. The results showed (i) a rise, of 1?2°C, ... -
Adding a High-Quality Telemetry Channel onto the Standard 1680 MHz Radiosonde
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)A description is given of how the surplus bandwidth of the standard radiosonde can be used for an additional high-quality telemetry channel. Bounds imposed on the channel by the existing radiosonde signal are discussed, ... -

Simulation of Weatherlike Doppler Spectra and Signals
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)A versatile algorithm to generate weatherlike spectra of any desired shape is described, and applications are briefly discussed. -
Measurements of Atmospheric Extinction in the Spectral Region 360–800 nm by Spectroradiometry
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)Measurements of atmospheric extinction in the spectral region 330?803 nm have been made by measuring the apparent radiance of a hole in a black box and relating this to the radiance of the horizon sky. The spectroradiometer ... -
Evaluation of an ERTS-1 Data Collection Platform Installed in the Alpine Tundra, Colorado
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)An ERTS-1 Data Collection Platform instrumented with meteorological sensors has been operated for more than a year at 3536 m in the Front Range, Colorado. The interface system and sensor performance are shown to operate ... -
The Effect of Repeated Activation on Depositional Ice Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)Ice nuclei collected on Millipore filters were processed at ?16.6°C water saturation and resulting crystals allowed to sublime. The filters were then reprocessed. Eighty-three percent of the original sites reactivated, 17% ... -
Equivalent Blackbody Temperature of the Top of a Severe Storm
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)An experiment was undertaken to measure the equivalent blackbody temperature of cloud tops of a severe storm. This was done to evaluate the common meteorological practice of determining cloud top altitude by equating the ... -
A Note on the Computation of Atmospheric Surface Layer Fluxes for Use in Numerical Modeling
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)Empirical formulas which have been derived to describe the profiles of wind, temperature and humidity through the atmospheric surface boundary layer (SBL) are used to derive equations predicting the fluxes of momentum, ... -
The Seasonal Reversal of the Stratospheric Circulation
(American Meteorological Society, 1975)The mean and individual seasonal reversal progressions are described for each of the 11 years of available rocket observations from 80°N to 80°S, and from 20 to 65 km. Isochrone sections were based on the time sections of ...
