Comparative Chloride Concentrations Between Mauna Loa Observatory and Hilo, Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Millipore filter samples obtained at the Mauna Loa Observatory and at Hillo, Hawaii, were analyzed for chloride particle concentrations. These data are used in a transport model to determine the removal efficiency of ... -
Measurements of Ice Nucleus and Associated Chloride Particle Concentrations at Mauna Loa Observatory
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A series of ice nucleus measurements at Mauna Loa Observatory obtained concurrently with Millipore filter samples which were subjected to chemical analyses for chloride particles are briefly described. These aerosol ... -
Numerical Estimates of Humidity in a Membrane–Filter Ice Nucleus Chamber
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A one-dimensional model was developed to examine humidity fields within a conditioning chamber for measuring ice nucleus concentrations on millipore filters. Representative concentrations of ice and cloud condensation ... -
Temporal Changes in Horizontal Diffusion Parameters of a Single Nuclear Debris Cloud
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An evaluation is made of the variations of σy and KH over a 70-hr period as derived from analyses of radiological and meteorological data collected during extensive aerial sampling of a single nuclear debris cloud. These ... -
A Comparison of Turbulence Intensity and Stability Ratio Measurements to Pasquill Stability Classes
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)To understand the extent to which the Pasquill stability classes can discriminate the diffusion capability of the atmosphere, a comparison between stability category and both turbulence intensity and stability ratio was ... -
Surface Roughness and Internal Boundary Layer Near a Coastline
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Wind profile observations obtained at two sites near the upper Texas coast during onshore winds in June 1968 are used to determine local toughness parameters. Values of 3?4 cm are obtained at a 32 m tower site 90 m inland ... -
Climatic Effects of Aerosol Layers in Relation to Solar Radiation
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The effect of the introduction of one or two layers of particulate matter on the heating by direct solar radiation of the earth surface-atmosphere system is calculated for a cloudless sky. It is found for a fairly wide ... -
Observations of Regional Topographically-Induced Wind Systems in Natal
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Observations are presented to show the occurrence of boundary layer oscillations in the form of widespread and large-scale topographically-induced mountain-plain and plain-mountain winds over the deeply dissected eastern ... -
The Rainy Pentads of Central America
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A rainy pentad is defined as having 25 mm or more rain in five days. The beginning and end of the rainfall of this amount is shown on maps of Central America. -
The Development and Application of a Simple Digital Surface–Climate Simulator
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A digital equilibrium temperature model for the simulation of the diurnal surface thermal and energy transfer regimes is presented together with a discussion of the modifications, necessary to achieve realistic simulations ... -
Use of the Southern Oscillation in Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Information and data recently received from Chilean meteorological authorities provide an improved atmospheric pressure record for Easter Island for 1912?13 and 1942?67. This study indicates that variations in the difference ... -
Intensity of Recurved Typhoons
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The maximum wind speed obtained by reconnaissance aircraft in recurved typhoons is examined for 66 cases from 1957 to 1968 for 2-3 days after recurvature from a westward to an eastward component of motion. The maximum wind ... -
The Influence of a Great Lake Anticyclone on the Atmospheric Circulation
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An air-water interaction study was performed near Waukegan, Ill., to determine the effect of the cold waters of Lake Michigan on warm air flowing over them. Four days in late May and early June were chosen to analyze the ... -
The Adjustment of Surface Wind and Pressure by Sasaki's Variational Matching Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The sea level pressure and surface wind fields operationally produced at Fleet Numerical Weather Central are adjusted by using numerical variational analysis. The analysis region is a global band extending from 40S to 6ON ... -
An Operational Subsynoptic Advection Model (SAM)
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A simple numerical model for use in short-period forecasting (up to 24 hr) in the eastern United States is described. This model has been used operationally twice daily in the National Weather Service since June 1968. The ... -
Matching of Observational Accuracy and Sampling Resolution in Meteorological Data Acquisition Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)On the basis of a 10-year record of rawin observations in the Caribbean, experiments were carried out to determine the appropriate matching between the accuracy and density of meteorological observations. The results ... -
Meteorological Diversity-Load Diversity, A Fresh Look at an Old Problem
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A method is developed which can be used to produce estimates of electric power load diversity from samples of ambient daily mean temperature observations from a large interconnected power system. This method has several ... -
