Time, Angle and Range Averaging of Radar Echoes from Distributed Targets
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)In radar meteorology, the average of the weather echo power is used in the computation of reflectivity, liquid water content, rainfall rate, etc. The uncertainty in measuring or estimating average weather echo power is ... -

Reynolds Stress Deflections of the Bivane Anemometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)We show that a bivane anemometer or other elevation angle sensing device records a nonzero mean angle when responding to cross-correlated fluctuations in a mean wind. Our analysis shows how this mean offset can be used to ... -

Comments on “A Real-Time Satellite Data Acquisition, Analysis and Display System—A Practical Application of the GOES Network”
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)No abstract available. -
Predictor Variables of the Maximum Radar Echo Activity on Convective Days
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Digital radar data and atmospheric sounding information were analyzed with the intention of beginning a search for atmospheric parameters which are easily attainable, are independent of whether or not clouds are seeded, ... -
Comments on “A Diagnostic Examination of a Complementary Relationship between Actual and Potential Evapotranspiration”
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)No abstract available. -
Analysis of Urban-Rural Solar Radiation Data from St. Louis, Missouri
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The results of an analysis of simultaneous measurements of incident solar radiation from six locations in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri are described. The measurements were taken continuously from September 1975 through ... -
Heating Degree Day Data Applied to Residential Heating Energy Consumption
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Site-specific total electric energy and heating oil consumption for individual residences show a very high correlation with National Weather Service airport temperature data when transformed to heating degree days. ... -
Weather Modification from Cooling Towers: A Test Based on the Distributional Properties of Rainfall
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A statistical technique for the treatment of data from weather modification experiments is presented. This work, a part of the Meteorological Effects of Thermal Energy Releases (METER) Program, is aimed at determining the ... -
A Short-Range Objective Nocturnal Temperature Forecasting Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A relatively simple, objective, nocturnal temperature forecasting model suitable for freezing and near-freezing conditions has been designed so that a user, presumably a weather forecaster, can put in standard meteorological ... -
A Preliminary Study of Ice Grown by Droplet Accretion Using Water-Insoluble Particles as Tracer
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The migration of water-insoluble particles during freezing was used to study the structure of ice grown by droplet accretion. Experiments were performed in a cold tunnel under different growth conditions using nickel powder ... -
An Initial Application of Polarization Lidar for Orographic Cloud Seeding Operations
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Ground-based polarization lidar measurements have been obtained in conjunction with a commercial cloud seeding program to evaluate the potential of pulsed laser remote sensing techniques for increasing the effectiveness ... -
Effects of Mesoscale Convergence on Cloud Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A two-dimensional time-dependent cloud model was used in this research to investigate the effects of mesoscale convergence on cloud convection. A Klemp and Wilhelmson type boundary condition was tested which allows inflow ... -
Measuring Heat Flux and Structure Functions of Temperature Fluctuations with an Acoustic Doppler Sodar
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The vertical velocity variance during convective activity was measured with an acoustic Doppler sounder. Here we show that this technique provides measurement of the heat flux profile in the well-mixed surface layer and ... -
A Simple Numerical Simulation of Urban Mixing Depths
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A simple model of urban mixing height is developed and yields an equation for the height of the inversion h? as a function of distance downwind into the city in the case of non-planar topography. Since many British cities ... -
The Shipboard Use of a Low-Level Atmospheric Thermograph in Fog and Stratus Investigations
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A Low-Level Atmospheric Thermograph (LLAT) to obtain fine-scaled and detailed vertical temperature profiles to an altitude of 1000 m has been developed through a simple modification of the Sippican Expendable Bathythermograph ... -
Radius and Frequency of 15 m s−1 (30 kt) Winds around Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Over 8500 rawinsonde soundings within 8° radius of tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and West Indies regions are statistically analyzed to determine occurrence frequencies of 15 m s?1 (30 kt) winds at the sea ... -
A Portable Differential Psychrometer System
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The construction and field operation of a portable differential psychrometer system is described. Portability is provided by means of a dc powered ventilation system. Examples of temperature and vapor pressure gradients ...
