An Application of Stagewise and Stepwise Regression Procedures to a Problem of Estimating Precipitation in California
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This paper illustrates a method of blending stagewise and stepwise regression procedures for selecting predictors and deriving equations. Only a few minutes of large-scale computer time were required to screen almost 4500 ... -
An Empirical Formulation of an ITD Rainfall Model for the Tropics: A Case Study of Nigeria
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)An attempt is made in this paper to examine Nigerian rainfall patterns within the framework of the dominant influence of the Intertropical Discontinuity (ITD), defined here as a moisture boundary separating dry northern ... -
Surface Wind Vergence over the Tropical Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)From surface wind estimates published in the Dutch Atlas monthly charts of surface wind vergence over the Indian Ocean down to 50S were computed. Since the original data were smoothed by a low-pass filter, the charts exhibit ... -
The Effects on a Tropical Cyclone of Cooler Surface Waters Due to Upwelling and Mixing Produced by a Prior Tropical Cyclone
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Typhoons of the western North Pacific Ocean are examined to determine the effects on tropical cyclones of cooler surface waters due to upwelling and mixing produced by a prior tropical cyclone. The results show that both ... -
Multivariate Techniques for Specifying Tree-Growth and Climate Relationships and for Reconstructing Anomalies in Paleoclimate
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Ring widths from trees on certain sites reflect climatic variation. Therefore, long time series derived from replicated and precisely dated ring-width chronologies may be utilized to extend climatic records into prehistoric ... -

Mathematical Model of the Film-Mounted Rocketsonde Thermistor
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A mathematical model is developed for the film-mounted thermistor bead temperature sensor used in current meteorological rocketsondes. Thermometric correction formulas are given suited to programming for automatic data ... -
A Three-Year Study of Net Radiation at St. Paul, Minnesota
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This study is based upon net radiation measurements made with a Suomi-type ventilated net radiometer. The average annual net radiation was 36,247 ly for the study period 1 April 1964?31 March 1967. April?October showed ... -
Field Determinations of Surface Emissivity and Temperature for Lake Ontario
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Field determinations of surface emissivity and temperature were carried out at the western end of Lake Ontario between July and November 1969. Emissivity was obtained from infrared thermometer measurements using an aluminum ... -
A Factor Analysis of Winds to 60 km over Battery MacKenzie, C.Z.
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Factor-analysis techniques are used to estimate the residual variances of the wind components over Battery MacKenzie, C.Z. These residual variances represent the combination of small-scale effects and observation errors ... -
Simultaneous Radar and Instrumented Aircraft Observations in a Clear Air Turbulent Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Some characteristics of a scattering, turbulent region near the 3-km level were measured with radar and an instrumented aircraft. It was found that the weakly scattering region was near a thin (20 m) layer of extreme ... -
Santa Barbara Pyrotechnic Cloud Seeding Test Results 1967–70
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Tests of the effectiveness of ground-released pyrotechnics in enhancing precipitation in storms in Santa Barbara County were conducted during the three winter seasons of 1967?68, 1968?69 and 1969?70. The mode of operation ... -
Formation of a Rain Shower by Salt Seeding
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Salt seeding took place below one end of a line of stratocumulus clouds with 350 lb of NaCl released. Cloud base was 9000 ft and cloud tops were at 15 to 18,000 ft above sea level. Cloud top temperature was near ?2C and ... -
Summary Results of the Lewisburg Fog Clearing Program
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Results of helicopter clearing experiments conducted at the Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg, W. Va., during the period 7?29 September 1969, are presented and discussed. Thirty-five hover experiments and 18 runway-clearing ...
