Stratospheric Radiometric Measurements from Constant-Level Balloons
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Superpressure balloons are used as radiometers to perform in-situ radiometric determinations in the lower stratosphere. The method consists in measuring the temperature of both the lifting gas and the ambient air and then ... -
A Method for Modeling the Deposition of Sulfur by Precipitation over Regional Scales
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Radioactive fallout data suggest that the concentration of pollutants in rainfall, while highly variable, might be described on the average by about an inverse half-power dependence on the amount of precipitation. Recent ... -

A Digital Recording System for Tipping Bucket Raingages: Description and Field Testing
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A system for recording data from a large network of tipping bucket raingages on digital tape cassettes has been developed for the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE). This system is substantially less expensive than ... -
The Nocturnal Boundary Layer: A Case Study Compared with Model Calculations
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A case study of nocturnal boundary-layer development is presented. The data include observations of turbulence and of profiles of wind and temperature. The measurements were done along a 200 m high meteorological mast. The ... -
A Gaussian Moment-Conservation Diffusion Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A new method of solution of the advection-diffusion equation is developed; the key feature of the method is the approximate conservation of the zeroth, first and second moments of pollutant mass, with the assumption of ... -
Atmospheric Ozone: Determination by Chappuis-Band Absorption
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Ozone content in the atmospheric column above Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, was determined in experiments by measuring the attenuation of sunlight in the visible spectrum Chappuis bands (500 nm<?<700 nm wavelength). The ... -
A Horizontal Thermal Gradient Cloud Condensation Nucleus Spectrometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A new cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) spectrometer capable of simulating the desired range of cloud supersaturation in a single chamber is developed. It can rapidly and continuously measure and display the spatial and ... -
A System for Airborne Measurement of Vertical Air Velocity
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A system which measures vertical velocity of the air from an aircraft is discussed and evaluated. Basically, the vertical air velocity system (VAVS) utilizes an incidence vane, vertical accelerometer, and computer-directed ... -
Concerning Causes of “Anomalous Gray Shades” in DMSP Visible Imagery
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Visible, Very High Resolution (VHR) and Light Fine (LF) data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) frequently exhibit areas of light-toned gray shades termed ?anomalous gray shades? which appear most ... -
Pacific December Sea Surface Temperatures and Spring Rains in California
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Differences in December sea surface temperatures between the eastern and western Pacific are statistically linked with California rainfall in the following February-March-April. Warm eastern and cold western sea temperatures ... -
Automated 12–36 Hour Probability Forecasts of Thunderstorms and Severe Local Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Probability equations were developed for 12?36 h forecasts of thunderstorms, severe local storms, and major or family tornado outbreaks. The equations were derived by applying screening regression techniques to relate ... -
Finite-Element Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Turbulent Boundary Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A dynamic turbulent boundary-layer model in the neutral atmosphere is constructed, using a dynamic turbulent equation of the eddy viscosity coefficient for momentum derived from the relationship among the turbulent dissipation ... -
Measurement of Convective Mean Rainfall over Small Areas using High-Density Raingages and Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Techniques of measuring area-mean convective rainfall over small areas (<2000 km2) are investigated using data from several gage-radar rainfall measurement studies. These data suggest that for low gage densities (?1 gage ... -
Prediction of Soil Temperatures of a Soil Mulched with Transparent Polyethylene
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A numerical model for the prediction of mulched soil temperature has been developed. The model takes into consideration environmental condition as well as physical characteristics of both the mulch material and the soil. ... -
The Formation of Marine Fog and the Development of Fog-Stratus Systems along the California Coast
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)This paper summarizes the results of seven field expeditions aboard the Naval Postgraduate School's R/V Acania, designed specifically to study the formation of marine fog along the California coast. On the basis of ... -
Field Measurements of the Benefits of Increased Stack Height
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Analysis of a series of 31 field diffusion experiments permitted direct specification of the benefit of increased stack height. In the experiments, two tracers were released simultaneously from two different elevations on ... -
Wind in the Subarctic Forest
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)In the subarctic region of central Labrador wind speeds were measured at 2 m height in open lichen woodlands of various stand densities and were related to standard winds recorded at the same level on the local airport ...
