Rapid Intensification and Low-Latitude Weakening of Tropical Cyclones of the Western North Pacific Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Twenty-five years of tropical storm and typhoon data for the western North Pacific (1945?69) were evaluated to determine the geographic and seasonal variation of those tropical cyclones which rapidly intensified over the ... -
Some Typhoon Soundings and Their Comparison with Soundings in Hurricanes
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Over 100 radiosonde soundings made within 185 km of the centers of typhoons age averaged in 5-mb classes of sea-level pressure (SLP). The mean typhoons are warmer and more humid in the troposphere and have a higher tropopause ... -
A Diagnostic Study on the Statistical Predictability of Tropical Cyclone Motion
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Statistical tropical cyclone prediction systems typically fall into one of three categories: 1) those using meteorological predictors derived from observed synoptic data; 2) those using purely empirical predictors such as ... -
Maximum Rainfall from Tropical Cyclone Systems which Cross the Appalachians
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The results of a statistical study of maximum measured rainfall amounts of tropical cyclone systems whose paths cross the Appalachian Mountains an presented. The study includes storms from 1900 through 1969 and considers ... -
An Experiment on the Sensitivity of a Global Circulation Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)The growth of small errors in numerical models of the atmospheric circulation destroys the detailed predictive capability of those models within a few days. Despite the failure of the models to produce accurate local ... -
Time-Dependent Global Energy Modeling
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)A time-dependent model equation of the energy balance of the earth-atmosphere-ocean is derived. A numerical solution to this basic energy equation is formulated. The earth is divided into 10° latitudinal belts with a ... -
Universal Methods for Estimating Probabilities of Cloud-Free Lines-of-Sight Through the Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)More than three years of 3-hr high-contrast whole-sky photographs, sky-cover observations, and cloud-type observations were utilized to develop two methods for estimating cloud-free line-of-sight probabilities through the ... -
Aspects of Cloud Pattern Signatures of Depressions in Maturity and Decay
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Satellite-observed cloud signatures associated with a large sample of mature and decaying depressions over middle and high southern latitudes are described in terms of a revision of an earlier classification Associated ... -
Development of a Global Cloud Model for Simulating Earth-Viewing Space Missions
(American Meteorological Society, 1973)Existing global cloud models are improved and expanded so that they might be more effectively used in planning and evaluating potential earth-viewing space missions. A relationship is developed between the ground and ... -
Laboratory Determinations of Water Surface Emissivity
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A spectrophotometer was used to determine surface emissivity of water samples in a laboratory. The results confirm a previous field result that emissivity is independent of water composition and is approximately equal to ... -
On the Accuracy of Automated Max/Min Temperature Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)tract -
An Investigation of the Resultant Transport Wind Within the Urban Complex
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The resultant transport wind speed within the urban mixing layer is compared with the hourly averaged surface wind speed. The mixing depth and resultant transport winds were obtained from twice daily (sunrise and midday) ... -
Potential Relief From Extreme Urban Air Pollution
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)It is argued that surface inversion formation can be avoided if the thermal power of a city is greater than the radiational heat loss of its streets and structures. The condition for inversion avoidance is derived and ... -
Variationally Optimized Numerical Analysis Equations for Urban Air Pollution Monitoring Networks
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Formulas are derived, and their characteristics examined, for the purpose of optimizing objectively contoured patterns of air pollution concentrations where the diffusion equation is used as a dynamical constraint in the ... -
Climatological Relationships Among Precipitable Water, Thickness and Precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Climatological relationships among precipitable water, thickness and precipitation are presented in such a manner that a line of saturation thickness may be defined. One year of data were used to develop such a line and ... -
On the Correlation of the Total Precipitable Water in a Vertical Column and Absolute Humidity at the Surface
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The relationship between the total precipitable water in the atmosphere and surface absolute humidity has been examined for more than 1500 upper level soundings. Total precipitable water and surface absolute humidity were ... -
A Comparative Study of Fourier Analysis Procedure and Cressman's Method in Objective Analysis of the Wind Field
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The value of a meteorological parameter at a grid point can be derived from Fourier analysis of data at station observations around the grid point. But the inhomogeneity of data distribution does not warrant such an elaborate ... -
A Diagnostic Study of a Non-Deepening Disturbance in the Caribbean Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)This paper discusses the results obtained from a study of a non-deepening disturbance which developed and dissipated in the Caribbean Sea. Careful analyses Of the temperature moisture, and wind fields Were performed at six ... -
Adjustment of Some Atmospheric Statistics to Satisfy Physical Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A relation between the coefficients of variation for pressure, density and temperature is derived which must be satisfied if these statistical parameters are those of an atmosphere that satisfies the perfect gas law and ... -
Updating of Numerical Precipitation Guidance
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An objective technique has been developed for modifying precipitation probability guidance forecasts received from the National Meteorological Center by means of radar information which becomes available subsequent to ...
