Radiation Climate of Barrow Alaska, 1962–66
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Observations of the radiation climate near Point Barrow, Alaska, were conducted during a five-year period between 1962 and 1966. Data on incoming shortwave radiation, albedo, incoming longwave radiation, and net total ... -
Effect of Aerosols on the Transfer of Solar Energy Through Realistic Model Atmospheres. Part II: Partly-Absorbing Aerosols
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Results are presented of an extensive theoretical investigation aimed at evaluating the effect of changing the refractive index of the aerosol substance from 1.5?0i to 1.5?0.01i on the solar energy absorbed, reflected and ... -
Effect of Aerosols on the Transfer of Solar Energy Through Realistic Model Atmospheres. Part I: Non-Absorbing Aerosols
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Extensive calculations aimed at determining the effect of aerosols on the solar energy absorbed, reflected and transmitted by cloudless, nonhomogeneous, plane-parallel atmospheric models were recently carried out with the ... -
A New Vector Partition of the Probability Score
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A new vector partition of the probability, or Brier, score (PS) is formulated and the nature and properties of this partition are described. The relationships between the terms in this partition and the terms in the original ... -
Shortcomings of an Objective Analysis Scheme
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A currently used objective analysis scheme was tested by comparing a known function to an objective analysis of its values at the locations of radiosonde observing stations. A surface spherical harmonic of wavenumber 2 ... -
Some Aspects of the Synoptic Mesoclimatology of the Armidale District, New South Wales, Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The mesoscale temperature and precipitation variations in the Armidale district are clarified according to the synoptic pressure pattern and airflow direction. These variations are found to correspond to the relief ... -
Classification of Meteorological Patterns in Southern California by Discriminant Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Stepwise discriminant analysis of eight meteorological variables was used to classify the days from May through September, 1970, on the southern slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains and over the adjacent basin of southern ... -
A Preliminary Study of the Transient Response of the Atmosphere Produced by Mid-Tropospheric Heating
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A simple linear model is developed to study the transient response of the atmosphere, a system of internal gravity waves, due to mid-tropospheric heating. The effects of varying stability, mean wind, the horizontal and the ... -

The Reliability of an Optical Technique for Measuring Snowfall Rates
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Data from an optical snow-rate sensor have been compared with snowfall rates measured directly and with crystal types and degrees of riming. it is shown that the device provides a reliable measure of snowfall rate only ... -

On the Existence of Extended Range Predictability
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)On the basis of five years of Northern Hemisphere isobaric height data, states of the atmosphere separated by 12 days or less are found on the average to resemble each other more closely than randomly selected states, even ... -
Automatic Instrument Systems for Determining Cloud Amount
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A computer simulation program was used to investigate the sampling problems that are associated with using automated instrument systems to determine cloud amount. The simulated cloud conditions were generated in the computer ... -
Digital Output Wind System for Airport Use
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The workload in Air Traffic Control Centers often prohibits the controllers from making lengthy observations of the moving pointer indicators in order to obtain sufficiently representative estimates of the current surface ... -
Collection of Ice Particles from Aircraft Using Decelerators
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The design, evaluation and field testing of two devices (called decelerators) for reducing the velocities with respect to an aircraft of airborne cloud and precipitation particles are described. With the aid of these ... -
Electron-Microscopic Study of Silver Iodide as Contact or Sublimation Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Experiments of ice nucleation by silver iodide were conducted in a cold chamber at various temperatures. The seeded ice crystals were replicated and an examination of the position of AgI nuclei in individual ice crystals ...
