Quantification of Crop-Hail Losses by Aerial Photography
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Experiments designed to evaluate the potential of infrared (IR) color and standard color aerial photographs to measure crop-hail losses were performed. Detailed post-storm field measurements of loss (by standard adjusting ... -
Hailstone Size Distributions and Equivalent Radar Reflectivity Factors Computed from Hailstone Momentum Records
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)An electronic hailstone momentum sensor has been developed which records hailstone impacts on magnetic tape. The instrument and the programs for analyzing the recorded data are described. Sensors were operated during six ... -
Freezing Nucleus Content of Hail and Rain in Alberta
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The concentrations of freezing nuclei in precipitation from different storms have been measured and the variations of nucleus content with space, time, precipitation type and intensity have been examined. It was found that ... -
Conditions Inside Cumulus Clouds Preceding the Onset of Precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Conditions within 16 cumulus congestus clouds were measured on aircraft penetrations near the ?5C level and precipitation developments during the subsequent 45 min were noted. Significant correlations exist between the ... -
Effects of Cloud Condensation Nuclei Due to Fires and Surface Sources During South Florida Droughts
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) at cloud base strongly affect the droplet concentration at cloud base, which in turn influences the life history of a cloud. There are usually more nuclei over land than over water because ... -
Rain-Snow Mesoclimatology of the New York Metropolitan Area
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)The mesoscale variation of the empirical probability of snow on a winter precipitation day in the New York urban-suburban metropolitan area is determined from first-order and cooperative weather station records, and clearly ... -
The Effect of an Urban Area on the Precipitation from a Moving Thunderstorm
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A case study of a thunderstorm cloud on 9 September 1955 was made to investigate the effect of London's urban area on its growth and precipitation amounts. Radar evidence was used to follow the development of the cloud, ... -
Mesoscale Relative Diffusion Estimates from Tetroon Flights
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Relative diffusion estimates in the low troposphere are obtained from the nearly simultaneous release of constant-volume balloons (tetroons) at the Nevada Test Site near Las Vegas. On the average the lateral and longitudinal ... -
Bent-Over Vapor Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A theory is developed to predict the behavior of bent-over continuous plumes of substantial moisture content in the atmosphere. Main interest is focussed on the prediction of condensation. It is found that in a well-mixed ... -
A Numerical Study of the Frontal Circulation in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A diagnostic numerical model was developed for calculating air motion in the atmospheric boundary layer near a front in terms of certain local parameters; namely, the geostrophic wind in the warm air, the densities of the ... -
On Definable Scale Reduction by Simultaneous Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)A two-dimensional extension of the Sampling Theorem with the inclusion of derivative samples is presented. It is shown that simultaneous sampling of geopotential and horizontal wind components on a mesh with elements ?x, ... -
A Spectral Investigation of Horizontal Moisture Flux in the Troposphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Spectral investigation of horizontal moisture flux data at a number of levels above Bedford, Mass., yields estimates of rms aliasing errors corresponding to various sampling intervals. An attempt is made to relate the ... -
On Parametrization of Convective and Nonconvective Latent Heat Release
(American Meteorological Society, 1971)Convective adjustment procedures remove conditional instability in a vertical sounding preserving the total energy (latent, internal and potential). It is shown that this procedure has very undesirable properties in the ... -
