Vertical Distributions of Atmospheric Water Vapor from Satellite Infrared Spectrometer Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)In this paper, the algorithm used for calculating the water vapor distribution from SIRS-B spectral radiances is given. Examples are presented illustrating the effects of errors in the water vapor absorption coefficients ... -
Experiments on the Load Convective Mass Transfer of Smooth and Rough Hailstone Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The local convective mass transfer (i.e., the mass transfer as a function of polar angle) of smooth and rough particles has been investigated with an electrochemiluminescence technique at a Schmidt number Sc ≈ 103 for ... -
Observations by Lidar of Linear Depolarization Ratios for Hydrometeors
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Measurements by monostatic lidar have been performed in the laboratory and in the field of the linear depolarization ratios for hydrometeors. The depolarization ratios for water drops in the size range 10 to 2000 ? in ... -
Cloud Seeding Effects on Precipitation Intensity and Duration of Wintertime Orographic Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The nature of precipitation changes resulting from seeding cold orographic clouds is examined by separating the observed total precipitation change into duration and intensity change components. The total precipitation ... -
Cloud Seeding Effects on Different Daily Rainfall Amounts
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The results of the cloud seeding experiment in New England, Australia, have been stratified to show different effects of seeding on different daily rainfall totals. No effect was detected on days with an area average ... -
Considerations in the Measurement of Pollution Effects on the Number Concentration of Cloud Condensation Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Pollution effects on cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) concentration vary widely, sometimes even decreasing the CCN. The interpretation of these pollution effects may be invalid if the nuclei are measured by expansion-type ... -
Quasi-Equilibrium Temperature Differences between Radiating Ice Crystals and the Surrounding Air
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A previous attempt to calculate the temperature gradient around a growing ice crystal in clear air started with the radiation budget of the crystal plus the assumption that the measured frost point temperature (about 2C ... -
Characteristics and Performance of Three Low-Cost Superpressure Balloon (Tetroon) Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The Characteristics and performance of superpressure balloons in general and tetroons in particular are discussed. Parameters of tetroons such as cross-sectional area, volume and drag coefficients are evaluated. Three ... -
Variational Principle Applied to Numerical Objective Analysis of Urban Air Pollution Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The calculus of variations is used to derive formulations for optimally adjusting a numerical analysis scheme so as to minimize any analysis inconsistencies attending pollution concentration measurements that are obtained ... -
Measurements of the Movement, Concentration and Dimensions of Clouds Resulting from Instantaneous Point Sources
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Puffs of the inert gas 85Kr were released at the surface level and were permitted to drift through a three-dimensional grid of Geiger counter sensors extending to a height of 21 m and to a distance of 800 M. Concentrations ... -
Predictions of the Momentum Exchange Coefficient for Flow over Heterogeneous Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Predictions of the eddy viscosity K are presented for neutrally stable flow in the surface layer after a change in surface roughness. These predictions indicate that the standard techniques for estimating eddy diffusivities ... -
A Model of Summer Convection in South Florida
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Hourly frequency distributions of range-corrected PPI arid multi-level CAPPI radar weather echoes during July 1968 are used to model the summer convective regime in South Florida. The month of July is chosen as being a ... -
Application of a Radiative–Conductive Model to the Simulation of Nocturnal Temperature Changes over Different Soil Types
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)For a calm night, nocturnal temperature profiles pertaining to various soil types are computed for the entire boundary layer. The mathematical analysis is based upon a numerical solution of the equations of motion, heat ... -
The Thunderstorm Forecasting System at the Kennedy Space Center
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)One of the major problems concerning meteorologists at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla, involves the forecasting of thunderstorm activity and associated adverse weather phenomena. The purpose of the study is to outline some ... -
Recent Developments in Automated Max/Min Temperature Forecasting
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Recent changes in the National Weather Service's automated system of forecasting maximum and minimum surface temperatures are described and illustrated. Modifications include use of the primitive equation model, later ... -
Computer Prediction of Precipitation Probability in the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The ?perfect prog? method of combining numerical and statistical weather prediction is applied to develop an automated system for forecasting the probability of precipitation at 108 cities on the mainland of the United ...
