Gravitational Adjustment in Phase Space
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)It is suggested that when one more properly views meteorological prediction as an initial value problem couched in random or stochastic terms, there is an additional way for the wind and the mass fields to adjust to a state ... -
A Numerical Weather Forecasting Method Using Cubic Splines on a Variable Mesh
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A numerical forecast method is proposed in which cubic polynomial splines are used to fit the spatial variations of the dependent variable fields on a variable area grid. Thirty-six hour numerical forecasts with real weather ... -
A Comparison of the Performance of Quasi-Optimal and Conventional Objective Analysis Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Verification error covariance statistics for operational 12-hr prognoses of 300-mb heights and winds have been obtained. Based on these statistical data, optimal weightings on height and wind observations at a typical ... -

On the Variation with Height of the Top Brightness of Precipitating Convective Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)As part of a program to estimate rain from satellite observations, and to test the program's assumption that the highest clouds are the brightest, a correlation between cloud height and cloud brightness in the South Florida ... -
A Comparison of Radar-Determined Cloud Height and Reflected Solar Radiance Measured from the Geosynchronous Satellite ATS-3
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A number of large tropical cumulus clouds which developed and decayed over a one-day period were monitored by both ship-based radar and the reflected solar radiance experiment on the geosynchronous satellite ATS-3. A ... -

Variability of Wind Over a Distance of 16.25 km
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The variability of wind with distance over New England during the period January?March, 1969, is compared to some general models and found to be larger than the models would predict. The difference is not unreasonable ... -
Spectral Transfer Functions for a Three-Component Sonic Anemometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The transfer functions which describe the effect of line averaging and path separation on the response of a three-component sonic anemometer have been computed specifically for the Kaijo-Denki PAT 311. These computations ... -
An Investigation of the Numerical Properties of the Surface Heat-Balance Equation

The Standard Error of Time-Average Estimates of Climatic Means
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Climate change studies with general circulation models require the estimation of climatic means by calculation of finite-time averages. A simple stochastic model is used to estimate the standard error of such an estimation ... -
Tetroon Drag Coefficients from Experimental Free-Flight Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Drag coefficients were determined for a 152-cm (60-inch) tetrahedral Mylar plastic balloon in free flight as functions of Reynolds numbers ranging from 104 to 3.3 ? 105. Vertical relative air speeds ranged from 9 to 270 ... -
ATS-3 Satellite-Derived Low-Level Winds: A Provisional Climatology
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Low-level winds derived from cloud displacements as observed by the, ATS-3 satellite over a one-year period are used to develop a provisional climatology of the ?Most Probable Wind? for application to operational weather ... -
Wind Measurements Using Forward-Scatter CW Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The ability of a forward-scatter CW radar to measure cross-path wind speed profiles is demonstrated from the results of a two-week observation period in June 1971. Radar-measured winds are compared with wind speeds measured ... -
A Model for Estimating Joint Probabilities of Cloud-Free Lines-of-Sight Through the Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Signals transmitted through the atmosphere in the visible and infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seriously degraded by clouds between the source and the receiver. A previously published model was ... -
The Replication of Ice Crystals
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)During the replication of ice crystals by conventional methods the crystals both grow and flocculate; this can lead to erroneous determination of their size distribution and to unreliable analysis of the in-cloud interactions ... -
Ice Nucleation in Clouds by Liquefied Propane Spray
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The inducement of cloud glaciation by cooling with evaporating droplets of liquefied propane was investigated in laboratory experiments and in field tests. The efficiency of ice crystal production was shown to be near 1012 ...
