    • Self-Mixing Antifreeze Solution for Precipitation Gages 

      Mayo, L. R. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      An antifreeze solution of methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol has been used to prevent freezing in precipitation gages. The antifreeze solution is self-mixing when the addition of water or ice causes an increase in density. ...

    • Nitric Acid Vapor in the Stratosphere 

      Lazrus, A. L.; Gandrud, B.; Cadle, R. D. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      Evidence is presented indicating that nitrate present in stratospheric filtration samples represents adsorbed nitric acid vapor. The concentrations observed are comparable to those found by solar infrared spectrometry. ...

    • A Relationship between Snow Accumulation and Snow Intensity as Determined from Visibility 

      Wasserman, Stanley E.; Monte, Daniel J. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      A procedure is presented for estimating hourly snow accumulation from observations of snow intensity or visibility, with the procedure being tested for La Guardia Field, New York City. The relationship between reported ...

    • Evaluation of Potential Effects of Weather Modification on Agriculture in Illinois 

      Huff, F. A.; Changnon, S. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      An investigation was made of the potential effects of modifying growing-season rainfall on the yields and economic benefits of the two major Illinois crops, corn and soybeans. Crop yield and weather data for the 38-year ...

    • On the Distribution of a Ratio of Interest in Single-Area Cloud Seeding Experiments 

      Neumann, J.; Shimbursky, E. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      In some randomized cloud seeding experiments a single-area design was used. The results of seeding were estimated from the ratio S/U (S and U being the average rainfall amounts, respectively, for the time units seeded and ...

    • Solubility of Small AgI Particles in NaI and KI Solutions: Significance to Cloud Seeding 

      Davis, Briant L. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      Utilizing standard solubility data in the literature it is seen that for 2:1 mole ratio AgI:NaI (or KI) aerosol compositions only AgI particles <0.01 ? radius are in danger of complete dissolution into hygroscopically ...

    • Aircraft Measurements of Rn-222, Aitken Nuclei and Small Ions up to 6 km 

      Guedalia, Daniel; Lopez, Alain; Fontan, Jacques; Birot, André (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      Simultaneous measurements of the vertical distribution on Rn-222, Aitken nuclei and small ions have been carried out in southwest France, several hundred kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean, between ground level and 6000 ...

    • Effective Atmospheric Emissivity under Clear Skies 

      Staley, D. O.; Jurica, G. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      The effective atmospheric emissivity, F?/(σT04), where F? is the downward radiative flux density and σT04 the blackbody flux density at the surface temperature T0, is computed for clear skies and straight temperature and ...

    • Radiometric Measurements of Temperature Profiles in the Planetary Boundary Layer 

      Hosler, Charles R.; Lemmons, Thomas J. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      A ground-based 5-mm wavelength radiometer, named the Radiometric Thermasonde, has been developed. Typical vertical temperature profiles, derived from a recently developed radiometric data processing technique, are compared ...

    • A Comparison of Wet and Dry Bent-Over Plumes 

      Wigley, T. M. L.; Slawson, P. R. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      The theory of moist bent-over plume behavior given by Csanady and by Wigley and Slawson is expanded and clarified to illustrate the differences between moist and dry plume behavior under various atmospheric stability ...

    • Diffusion Measurements in the 10–100 km Range 

      Brown, R. M.; Cohen, L. A.; Smith, M. E. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      Recent studies of particulate and gaseous materials in the atmosphere have raised important questions about diffusion at distances of 10?100 km. A photometric densitometer, initially developed for a quantitative study of ...

    • Numerical Modeling of Advection and Diffusion of Urban Area Source Pollutants 

      Egan, Bruce A.; Mahoney, James R. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      A numerical, grid-element model has been developed for the study of air pollution transport from urban area-type sources. This advection-diffusion model is especially useful for the estimation of air pollution concentrations ...

    • The Morning Glory: An Atmospheric Hydraulic Jump 

      Clarke, R. H. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      ?Morning glory? is a local name given to a frequently occurring, near-dawn squall, accompanied by long, low, narrow cloud bands, on the south coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. A series of simple computation experiments ...

    • Analysis of a Tropical Depression Based on Radar Data 

      Herrera Cantilo, Luis M.; Fernandez-Partagas, Jose J. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      A tropical depression approached the Lesser Antilles on 26 July 1969 and remained under radar surveillance for more than 12 hr. Radar echoes observed from Barbados were tracked and used to define a motion field. This motion ...

    • The Large-Scale Movement of Saharan Air Outbreaks over the Northern Equatorial Atlantic 

      Carlson, Toby N.; Prospero, Joseph M. (American Meteorological Society, 1972)
      The intense and prolonged heating of air passing over the Sahara during the summer and early fall months forms a deep mixed layer which extends up to 15?20,000 ft during July, the warmest month. The dust-laden heated air ...
