Successful Test of an Airborne Gas Chromatograph
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A portable gas chromatograph designed for real-time studies in diffusion has been successfully tested in an airborne application. A 10-mi low-level plume of colorless, odorless non-toxic sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) was laid ... -
A Simulation Study Exploring the Effects of Sensor Spatial Resolution on Estimates of Cloud Cover from Satellites
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The effect of sensor spatial resolution on estimating the amount of clouds covering the earth were investigated by simulating various cloud distributions and sizes, and measuring the known cloud amount with resolution of ... -
Estimating Rainfall Rate-Radar Reflectivity Relationships for Individual Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)In order to improve the accuracy with which radar estimates rainfall rates and amounts, a method has been developed whereby the rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships may be estimated for approaching precipitation. ... -
Ice-Phase Seeding Potential for Cumulus Cloud Modification in the Western United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A one-dimensional, steady-state cumulus model is used to evaluate the climatological potential for precipitation augmentation by ice-phase seeding of isolated cumulus clouds in the western United States using data for ... -
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part III: Severely Sheared Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A case study of a severe hailstorm which occurred in an extremely sheared environment is presented. The storm occurred near Fort Morgan, Colo., on 15 June 1970, and contained a large, persistent bounded weak echo region ... -
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part II: Multi-Cell Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Two case studies are presented of multi-cell storms in Alberta which displayed separate modes of propagation. Discrete propagation occurred on the right flank of both storms as in multi-cell storms previously documented ... -
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part I: Supercell Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A supercell storm was observed in detail near Grover, Colo., on 18 June 1970. The storm was observed by an S-band radar operated alternately in PPI and RHI modes. An instrumented aircraft was flown near cloud base in the ... -
On Freezing of Supercooled Droplets Shattered by Shock Waves
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Supercooled water droplets in free fall were shattered by shock waves in a laboratory shock tube, and the fragments thus produced were examined for the presence of ice crystals. The experimental results show that the ... -
Freezing of Freely Suspended, Supercooled Water Drops by Contact Nucleation
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The freezing of freely suspended, supercooled water drops by contact nucleation has been studied. Water drops were balanced in an updraft of a large vertical wind tunnel and allowed to supercool to the ambient temperature. ... -
Cloud Microstructure as Determined by an Optical Cloud Particle Spectrometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)An improved single-particle light scattering instrument for measurement of cloud microstructure has been built and used in field studies. Cloud particle size and number information is measured over 12 sizing intervals, in ... -
The Vertical Distribution of Cloud and Aitken Nuclei Downwind of Urban Pollution Sources
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)Simultaneous airborne observations of Aitken and cloud nuclei upwind and downwind of Buffalo, N.Y., were made in an effort to determine the effects of air pollution on condensation nucleus concentration. The data show ... -
Penetration of Solar Irradiances Through the Atmosphere and Plant Canopies
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)The equation of radiative transfer is applied to the analysis of solar irradiances penetrating into a plant canopy covered by a turbid atmosphere. The method of discrete coordinates is applied to vertically inhomogeneous ... -
Radiosonde Humidity Retrieval by Simultaneous Radiation Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A radiometric method for the retrieval of moisture data at altitudes above the radiosonde hygristor cutoff region or in situations where a malfunction of the hygristor occurs is described. The method was applied to BOMEX ... -
Nocturnal Temperatures in Edmonton, Alberta
(American Meteorological Society, 1972)A network of seven thermographs has been operated continuously within the city of Edmonton, Alberta, since February 1968 by Geoscience Research Associates, Ltd., under contract to the Department of Health of the Government ...
