Meteorological Uses of the Stereographic Horizon Map Projection
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The stereographic horizon map projection is a generalized form of the polar stereographic projection that permits placement of the map center at any point on the earth. With this projection, it is possible to view translating ... -
On the Discrepancy Between Calculated and Observed Nimbus II 6.7-μm Water Vapor Radiation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)An attempt is made to resolve the difference in Nimbus II satellite-observed and calculated atmospheric radiances in the 6.7-?m water vapor band. Regression equations were calculated to relate the Nimbus II MRIR (medium ... -
The Determination of the Amplitude and Altitude of Stratospheric Warmings from Satellite-Measured Radiance Changes
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Satellite-measured radiances offer the first opportunity for investigating the total structure of winter stratospheric warmings, a phenomenon whose cause is still unknown despite intensive study since 1952, Vertical ... -
Measurement of Total Atmospheric Ozone Using Sky Radiation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Instead of measuring total ozone by observing the direct sun (if visible) or at the zenith, photometric measurements of sky radiation were made in the solar vertical. The newly developed spectrophotometer uses filters and ... -
Operational Dissipation of Supercooled Fog Using Liquid Propane
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This paper describes the equipment, the theory, and the results of an operational fog-dissipation system installed at Fairchild AFB, Washington, during the winter of 1969?70. An array of stationary ground dispensers was ... -
The Design and Evaluation of Rainfall Modification Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Storm rainfall data from dense raingage networks in Illinois were employed in a study to determine the length of time required to obtain significance for various increases in storm rainfall due to weather modification ... -
Calendar Singularities in Rhodesian Precipitation, and the Implications
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)It is suggested the Bowen's meteor hypothesis has special relevance in the Southern Hemisphere, because of its comparatively small area of land and the fairly slow interhemispheric exchange of air. The latter is discussed ... -
Scavenging Prediction Using Ratios of Concentrations in Air and Precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The ratios of the concentrations of SO2 and of water vapor in precipitation to those in air on a mass basis are in the range 19 to 500. For particulates, the ratio usually falls in the range 290 to 2700. The ratio varies ... -
Fog Drop-Size Distributions Measured with a Laser Hologram Camera
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Fog drop sizes were measured with a laser hologram camera. The camera samples volumes up to 4.5 cm2 at a rate of five samples per minute. The measured distribution is relatively unaffected by the measuring technique, since ... -
Cloud Condensation Nuclei and their Possible Influence on Precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) conducted both from the ground and from an instrumented aircraft during two winter seasons, utilizing a thermal diffusion chamber, suggest that. CCN spectra prove to always ... -
Microcinematographic Studies of Contact Nucleation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Water drops of 2 mm diameter were supercooled on a glass slide, sprayed with AgI particles, and photographed at low magnification with a 16-mm movie camera at a speed of 64 frames per second to determine the nature of ... -
Estimation of Atmospheric Radiation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Various methods of estimating atmospheric radiation including the use of radiation charts and six empirical formulas are examined, using micrometeorological data collected at Davis, Calif. The Bolz method for adjusting the ...
