Secular and Seasonal Variations of Atmospheric Turbidity at Jerusalem
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Two extensive sets of spectral pyrheliometric data taken at Jerusalem in the years 1930?34 and 1961?68 have been analyzed. Seasonal and synoptic variations in the optical depth of the atmospheric aerosol and in its wavelength ... -
A Second-Generation Laser Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A brief discussion of the laser-radar method for investigating atmospheric properties above the troposphere is given. A detailed description is then presented of a large new system which has been constructed in Jamaica. ... -
Doppler Radar Study of Shear Zones and Turbulence in a Snowstorm
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)This study demonstrates how the variability of the VAD (Velocity Azimuth Display) pattern obtained with a Doppler radar may be used to map qualitatively the turbulent regions in a snowstorm. The synoptic situation is ... -
Turbulence Spectra with two Separated Regions of Production
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Application of a transfer hypothesis for turbulent energy within the spectra gives an explanation for the shape of some observed spectra of turbulent energy in forests and in the free atmosphere. Those spectra which show ... -
Application of Environmental Analysis to Watershed Snowmelt
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The role of environmental characteristics of elevation, slope-aspect and forest cover in spatially differ-entiating rates of snowmelt is examined over a 43-mi2 northern Vermont watershed. Both energy balance considerations ... -
Synoptic Heat Budgets at Three Polar Stations
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The stations examined are Byrd (80°01? S, 119°31? W, 1533 m MSL), Wilkes(66°15? S, 110°35? E, 12 m MSL) and Sachs, Harbour, N.W.T. (71°57? N, 124°44? W, 84.4 m MSL). Synoptic observations for one year were used to calculate ... -
Mesoscale Influences on Wind Fields
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)An analysis of mesoscale influences on ground level wind fields indicates that topography and the thermal cells associated with mesoscale ground temperature anomalies (urban heat islands and land-water contrasts) are the ... -
Empirical Confidence Limits for Variance Spectra
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A method is presented for obtaining empirical confidence limits for variance spectra. It can be applied whenever the distribution of spectral variances is unknown but the stochastic model of the data is known or proposed. ... -
Optimum Station Network in the Tropics
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A five-year record of upper air data from 145 stations in the northern tropics was used to determine the statistical structure of meteorological fields, applying the ?optimal interpolation? method developed by Gandin. ... -
On an Efficient Scheme for the Numerical Integration of a Primitive-Equation Barotropic Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A new scheme is presented for the numerical integration of the quasi-static system of hydrodynamical equations. The main advantage of the proposed method is its efficiency for the economical production of short-range, ... -

An Automatic Sequential Rain Sampler
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A sequential rain sampler has been developed that collects up to 70 samples from 35?70 mm of rain. Each sample has a volume of 500?1000 ml and represents 0.5?1.0 mm of rain. After all bottles are filled, any additional ... -

On the Application of the Optimum Statistical Inversion Technique to the Evaluation of Umkehr Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The optimum statistical inversion technique is applied to the evaluation of Umkehr observations from Arosa (46.5N, 9.4E), Aspendale (38.0S, 145.IE) and Tallahassee (30.2N, 84.2W). A Priori statistical information on the ...
