Rate of Solution of Ice Nuclei in Water Drops and Its Effect on Nucleation
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The time required for an ice nucleus of radius rA to dissolve in a water drop of radius rD is found for solubilities ranging from 5 ? 10?10 (pure silver iodide at OC) to 10?3. The basic assumption is that the dissolution ... -
Seasonal Albedo Variation of Black Spruce and Sphagnum-Sedge Bog Cover Types
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Albedo measurements were made over two northern Minnesota bog cover types. Two Kipp and Zonen pyranometers were cycled over black spruce [Pica mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.] and sphagnum-sedge bog canopies within a one year period. ... -
A Method for Simulating Wind Conditions During Atmospheric Stagnation Periods
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A method is presented whereby meteorological conditions encountered during air pollution episodes may be simulated. Meteorological conditions are expressed in terms of atmospheric stability, mixing depth, surface temperature, ... -
Rise and Condensation of Large Cooling Tower Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Formulas for the variation with height of the buoyancy, volume, and water vapor fluxes from large wet cooling towers are derived. The simple formulas developed by Briggs are suggested for estimating plume rise, if the ... -
The Indirect Determination of Stability, Heat and Momentum Fluxes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer from Simple Scalar Variables During Dry Unstable Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Turbulence data from two sites have been analyzed to obtain an indirect relation between the Obukhov stability parameter, z/L, and temperature statistics during dry unstable conditions. The skewness of a single scalar ... -
Photogrammetrically Determined Cloud-Free Lines-Of-Sight Through The Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Relative frequencies of cloud-free lines-of-sight were determined at specified elevation angles and directions by utilizing data from photographs taken with a camera with a 180° (fish-eye) lens and infrared film to produce ... -
Numerical Climatic-Change Experiments: The Effect of Man's Production of Thermal Energy
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)We describe in this paper a set of general circulation model experiments on possible climate changes caused by man's generation of thermal energy or pollution. Three experiments were carried out: one in which we introduced ... -
A Square Equal-Area Map of the World
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The map is proposed for worldwide climatological statistics, to depict accurately the area covered by some specified meteorological condition or element. Since it is square, a grid overlay divides the map into small squares, ... -

Hail in the Vicinity of Organized Updrafts
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Several encounters with hail and graupel (often inadvertent) have occurred while flying an aircraft through the organized updrafts at the base of thunderstorms in the High Plains area. These encounters normally occurred ... -

A Reed Switch Anemometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An anemometer housing design is described which utilizes readily available components. The unique feature of the design is the use of a magnetically activated reed switch set in an iron epoxy housing to provide indication ... -
A Sample Computation of Kinematic Properties from Cloud Motion Vectors
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Distributions of relative vorticity and balanced height are computed from the cloud velocities associated with the cloud structure of an extratropical cyclone over the continental United States during a three-day period ... -
Meterological Rocket Data Processor and Results from the Solar Eclipse of 7 March 1970
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A comprehensive digital computer program is described which automatically processes precision digitized data from conventional rocketsondes and radars to produce accurately corrected temperatures and winds together with ... -
On the Magnitudes and Uncertainties of Corrections to Arcasonde-1A Temperatures
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A scheme for correcting Arcasonde-1A temperatures, taking into account the thermal coupling between the bead thermistor and its Mylar-film mount, is examined by a combination of theoretical and experimental considerations ... -
The Development and Testing of an Airborne Droppable Pyrotechnic Flare System for Seeding Alberta Hailstorms
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Many of the severe and persistent hailstorms in Alberta propagate by means of new cloud development on the southern or western flank. A concept is proposed whereby these cumulus towers are seeded with freezing nuclei early ... -
The Acoustic Measurement of Water-Drop Impacts
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An electro-acoustic device, sensitive to the size, shape and velocity of falling water drops, is described. Observations with this device suggest that the acoustic impact of drops traveling below terminal velocity may be ...
