An Evaluation of the Whitetop Cloud Seeding Experiment through a Covariance Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The Whitetop experiment concerning cloud seeding was conducted in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas during 1960?64. In general, the early analysis showed the rainfall in the treated areas on days with seeding to be ... -
Analysis of the Israeli Cloud Seeding Experiment by means of Concomitant Meteorological Variables
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This paper summarizes results of a statistical analysis of the Israeli cloud-seeding experiment (1961?67) based upon precipitation data for the period of the experiment and upon 30 concomitant meteorological variables, ... -
Evidence of Dynamic Effects in Cloud Seeding Experiments in South Dakota
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Silver iodide seeding of convective clouds in a number of experiments in South Dakota has yielded mixed results, including both increases and decreases in rainfall and, apparently, decreases in hail. The results vary with ... -
Experimental Determination of Ice Nucleation by Falling Dry Ice Pellets
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The ability of dry ice to generate ice crystals in supercooled clouds has been studied under conditions which closely simulate the ?free-falling? dry ice pellets of a cloud seeding operation. In conjunction with separate ... -
A Model for Predicting the Depth of the Mixing Layer Over an Urban Heat Island with Applications to New York City
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Over a city within a mixing layer, pollutants tend to be homogeneously distributed in the vertical. A means of predicting the depth of the mixing layer is therefore important for air pollution predictions. In this study a ... -
Nocturnal Maximum Winds in the Planetary Boundary Layer at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Ninety-one cases of nocturnal low-level maximum winds are examined in detail and are classified into three basic types, based on the synoptic weather pattern existing at the time, and the average height above ground at ... -
Airborne Observations of Three Chinook-Type Situations in Southern Alberta
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Three chinook situations which occurred in southern Alberta during the winter of 1967?68 were studied using an instrumented aircraft. On the days of observation, local areas experienced warm air penetration toward the ... -
Average Winds Above and Within a Forest
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This paper describes the results from a study of winds above and in a pine forest for a continuous period of 22 days. The winds are examined with reference to direction and time of day, that is, the effects of topography ... -
Photogrammetric and Photometric Investigation of a Smoke Plume Viewed from Space
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Detailed analyses of an Apollo 6 stereographic photograph of a smoke plume which originated in southern Arizona and crossed over into Mexico are presented to illustrate how high-resolution photography can aid meteorologists ... -
Mesoscale Modification of Synoptic Situations from Thunderstorm Development as Revealed by ATS III and Aerological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Synoptic and dynamic aspects of the development of the tornado-producing thunderstorms of 23 April 1968 were studied by combining conventional observation data with ATS III pictures, with special emphasis on the interaction ... -
Anticyclonic Activity over South Europe and its Relationship to Orography
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This is a study of anticyclonic activity over a past of southern Europe in which several anticyclogenetic areas have been noted. There is also a relationship between cyclonic and anticyclonic activity in this region. We ... -
Observational Study of the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Motion Field during the Northern Hemisphere Summer
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Conventional and commerical aircraft wind observations over the global tropics have been used to prepare daily charts of the field of motion at the 200-mb level for June, July and August 1967. Computations describe the ... -
A Methodology for Defining an Operational Synoptic Temporal Oceanic Sampling System. II. Nonstationary Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Using oceanic wind data, effects of nonstationary events on the spectral computation of wind speed and wind direction were estimated by analysing stationary records before and after superimposing spike and shift ... -
A Methodology for Defining an Operational Synoptic Temporal Oceanic Sampling System. I. Stationary Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A rational methodology for determining stationary-temporal sampling requirements for an observational network is defined and illustrated using temporal oceanic measurements of wind speed. The methodology developed establishes, ... -
