Corrections to Observed Beta-Ray Atmospheric Densitometer Values as Caused by Cosmic Rays
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Theoretical and experimental studies have led to the development and fabrication of a rocketborne beta-ray densitometer for the direct determination of atmospheric density in the 30?65 km atmospheric interval. Comparison ... -
Errors in Infrared Thermometry and Radiometry
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)This paper describes an error apparently unrecognized among atmospheric scientists engaged in infrared thermometry and radiometry. The error results from multiple reflections between the target environment viewed by a ... -
An Evaluation of Some Methods of Estimating the Vertical Atmospheric Ozone Distribution from the Inversion of Spectral Ultraviolet Radiation
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Three methods for estimating the vertical distribution of ozone below 10 mb, by inverting the equation of radiative transfer, are presented. The methods are discussed in terms of spectral measurements of back-scattered ... -
Lidar Observations in Relation to the Atmospheric Winds Aloft
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Lidar (laser radar) observations of the visually clear troposphere between 4 and 14 km are compared with data from simultaneous rawinsonde ascents for the purpose of exploring possible relationships between lidar echoes ... -
Mapping a Thunderstorm Anvil Flow by Doppler Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)The mean motion of particles in a thunderstorm anvil has been measured at various heights and elevation angles by Doppler radar, using the velocity-azimuth scanning mode of Lhermitte and Atlas with the harmonic analysis ... -
Measurements of Local Density in Artificial and Natural Hailstones
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Local density measurements were performed in the internal structure of hailstones by means of photometric observations on x-ray micrographs of thin slices. Comparison with the results of measurements performed by the same ... -
The Role of Diffusion in Closing Artifically Produced Holes in Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Hole closing by diffusion of water vapor and droplets is treated as a problem in classical diffusion theory with constant mixing coefficients. The results, for reasonable estimates of the variables involved, lead to closure ... -
Application of Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability to Clear Air Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A criterion for the instability of shearing gravitational waves on the discontinuous interface between a two-isothermal-layer is derived from the result of Bjerkness et al. Comparison of this criterion with the Richardson ... -
Dispersion and Deposition of Ragweed Pollen from Experimental Sources
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Dispersion and deposition of ragweed pollen released naturally from circular area sources of four sizes (5?27 m in diameter) and artificially from point sources were studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations ... -
Airplane Measurements of Planetary Boundary Layer Structure
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Measurements of air velocity and temperature from an airplane in the planetary boundary layer with strong surface heating are used to calculate vertical heat, momentum and energy fluxes, as well as spectral densities and ... -
Observational Comparison of Rural and Urban Boundary Layer Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A unique set of data was collected during a large-scale field study of diffusion about an urban complex at Fort Wayne, Ind. Observations of turbulent wind fluctuations were obtained on two towers, one in a typical rural ... -
The Mathematical Representation of Wind Speed and Temperature Profiles in the Unstable Atmospheric Surface Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Analytical expressions which specify non-dimensionalized wind speed and potential temperature gradients as functions of stability are integrated. The integrated equations are tested against Swinhank's wind and temperature ... -
Wind Speeds as Measured by Cup and Sonic Anemometers and Influenced by Tower Structure
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Wind tunnel and field experiments have shown that the fast-response three-component sonic anemometer is a highly accurate wind speed sensor. When sonic anemometers were used as reference sensors for wind speed, slower ... -
Aircraft, Spacecraft, Satellite and Radar Observations of Hurricane Gladys, 1968
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Hurricane Gladys, 17 October 1968, is studied with data collected by Aollo 7 manned spacecraft, ESSA's especially instrumented aircraft, weather search radar, the ATS-III and ESSA 7 satellites, and conventional weather ... -
