An Alternative Scheme for the Summation of a Series of Spherical Harmonics
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)An alternative algorithm to sum a series of spherical harmonies is presented and tested. The algorithm is approximately 10?20 times faster than a standard method under the condition that both start with only the knowledge ... -
Hedging and Skill Scores for Probability Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)An individual skill score (SS) and a collective skill score (CSS) are examined to determine whether these scoring or improper. The SS and the CSS are both standardized versions of the Brier, or probability, score (PS) and ... -
A Method for Correcting Airborne Temperature Data for Sensor Response Time
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Equations are developed which describe 1) the airborne temperature instrumentation response to an arbitrary ambient temperature profile, for a two-term exponential system; and 2) a numerical scheme which corrects the sensor ... -
An Empirical Model Using Eigenvectors to Calculate the Temporal and Spatial Variations of the St. Louis Heat Island
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Eigenvectors, or empirical orthogonal functions, have been used to study the relationship between the St. Louis heat island and land use and meteorological parameters. The data used in this study consisted of observations ... -
Rainfall Variations in an Urban Industrial Region
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The rainfall data, for the period 1901?69, of three stations in the region downwind of the urban industrial complex at Bombay and of two stations in the nearby non-urban region, have been analyzed. The study has indicated ... -
Effect of Aerosol Size Distribution on the Accuracy of the Integrating Nephelometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Corrections are made to the governing equation for the integrating nephelometer as derived by Middleton. Calculations show a fortuitous partial correction of the angular truncation error for most commonly occurring ... -
Evaluation of a Recording Continuous Cloud Nucleus Counter
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)For certain field and laboratory investigations, it would he useful to have apparatus capable of yielding a continuous, instantaneously recorded measurement of the concentration of cloud nuclei. A description of such a ... -
The Background Level of the Summer Tropospheric Aerosol Over Greenland and the North Atlantic Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)An experiment to measure the concentration and size of Aitken nuclei, the concentration of cloud nuclei active at a supersaturation of 1%, the concentration of freezing nuclei activated at ?20C, and the chemical nature of ... -
Ice Nuclei, Total Aerosol, and Climatology at Mauna Loa, Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The simultaneous operation of two NCAR ice nuclei counters and an integrating nephelometer at Mauna Loa Observatory over a period of 9 months shows concentration changes in the ice nuclei population that vary in direct ... -
Intensive Probing of a Clear Air Convective Field by Radar and Instrumented Drone Aircraft
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)An instrumented drone aircraft was used in conjunction with ultrasensitive radar to study the development of a convective field in the clear air. Radar data are presented which show an initial constant growth rate in the ... -
An Investigation of Mountain Waves with Lidar Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)In March and April of 1969 and 1970, lidar (laser radar) observations of the atmospheric structure were made in the lee of the Sierra Nevada during the occurrence of mountain lee waves. Rawinsonde ascents and, on some ... -
The Stability of Wet and Dry Bent-Over Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Let (Γ*aP/TP) ? (Γ*/TE*) = kP and (Γ*aE/TE) ? (Γ*/TE*) = kE, where suffix P denotes a plume element and E the surroundings of the element, T is absolute temperature, Γa* a modified adiabatic lapse rate, TE* an absolute ... -
The Diurnal Wind Variation in the Lowest 1500 ft in Central Oklahoma. June 1966–May 1967
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)One year of wind data from a television tower in northern Oklahoma City has been analyzed an a diurnal basis. The annual mean speeds below the third level at 296 ft are lowest at night and highest during the day, and ... -
Venezuelan Rainstorms as Seen by Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The underlying premise of the research is that a contribution can be made to understanding the interrelation between mesoscale cumulonimbus systems and synoptic disturbances as well as the general circulation by following ... -
Estimating Rainfall in Regions of Active Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)An attempt to estimate rainfall in convectively active regions using Kuo's parameterization scheme has been made. The precipitation in this model is given by P = lQ1/?t, where P is the precipitation per unit time, l the ... -
Changes in the Characteristics of Typhoons Crossing the Philippines
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Thirty typhoons (1960?70) are examined to determine the effect of the Philippines an the intensity, speed of movement, and size characteristics of tropical cyclones crossing the Philippines. The results show an average ...
