Investigations of Atmospheric Extinction Using Direct Solar Radiation Measurements Made with a Multiple Wavelength Radiometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A multiple wavelength solar radiometer designed for the purpose of measuring atmospheric optical depth at discrete wavelengths through the visible region is described. Experimental techniques including sample observations, ... -
Superpressure Balloons as Isentropic/Isopycnic Tracers
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Synchronous radar, temperature and pressure data of suitable quality, gathered from three balloon flights of the Mountain Wave Project, were analyzed in detail to show the relationships between balloon-depicted waves and ... -
A Radar Climatology of Summertime Convective Clouds in the Black Hills
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A radar climatology of the Black Hills has been prepared from data collected over the four summers of 1967?70. The basic data are time-lapse films of radar echoes obtained from the Nike-Ajax radar systems of the Institute ... -
Vertical Motion of Patterns in Radar Records of Showers
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A technique is described for finding an ?effective pattern fallspeed? from arrays of radar data taken at different times and different heights. A weather radar whose antenna scans in three dimensions at many elevation ... -
A General Description of the Hail Problem in the Po Valley of Northern Italy
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The Italian Po Valley hail problem is examined and a description is presented of its economic, dimensions, its climatology, and some of the meteorological factors which influence it. A brief history of hail prevention in ... -
Test of Runoff Increase Due to Precipitation Management for the Colorado River Basin Pilot Project
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The problem of detection of an increase in runoff due to precipitation management is considered. Classical methods of detection are reviewed and their shortcomings are discussed. The concept of grouping of observations is ... -
Drop Impactions
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Recent attempts to understand the development of intense precipitation has led several investigators to speculate about the role of drop impactions. Working with a large vertical wind tunnel, investigations were carried ... -
The Proportion of Volatile Aerosols on the Island of Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Nephelometry, in conjunction with a tube furnace and an Aitken nuclei counter, has been applied to the investigation of the volatile component of the aerosol budget at Cape Kumukahi, Hilo. and Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii. ... -
Estimated and Measured Roughness Parameters for a Pine Forest
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A topographic map of the upper surface of the canopy of a red pine (Pinus resinosa) plantation was drawn from 275 canopy heights measured on a grid of 0.9 ? 1.5 m. The distribution of heights was approximately normal, with ... -
Weather Forecasts in Tabulated and Worded Form by Computer Interpretation of Forecast Charts
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The paper describes a method, developed in Sweden, of presenting wind, temperature, precipitation, and flight weather forecasts in tabular and worded form by automatic computer processing of available numerical forecast ... -
Weather and Equatorial Waves Over Southeast Asia During the Summer Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Analysis of wind, pressure and cloudiness patterns shows that the weather of Southeast Asia during the southwest monsoon relates best to westward-moving equatorial waves. These waves are basically the same as those found ... -
Another Family of Distributions for Describing and Analyzing Precipitation Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A positively skewed two-parameterer family of distributions is introduced as an alternative description of precipitation amounts. Each distribution of this family is associated with a simple two-sample non-parametric test ... -
Comparison of Grids and Difference Approximations for Numerical Weather Prediction Over a Sphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The accuracy of finite-diffrerence approximations to the shallow water equations on a sphere is examined for flow cases having an analytic solution. Approximations over grids with the longitudinal grid increment (??) ... -
Objective Sea-Level Pressure Analysis for Data-Sparse Areas
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A computer procedure, described in an earlier study, uses the wind speed field near the ocean surface in combination with a small number of observations of pressure and wind velocity to specify the maritime sea-level ... -
A New Global Climatic Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A global climatic model, allowing for seasonal coupling and interaction between continents and oceans, is developed, utilizing an idealized land-water distribution similar to that observed. The basic equation used is the ... -
