Effects of an Artificial Sea Slick upon the Atmosphere and the Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Vertical mean wind profiles, hot-film data, and wave height data measured during the passage of an artificial sea slick are compared with similar measurements without a sea slick. The effects of the slick are modifications ... -
The Vertical Mean Wind Profile Over the Ocean for Light to Moderate Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Analysis of 299 wind profile observations collected at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology oceano-graphic research platform provides a detailed picture of the behavior of wind profile parameters. A plot of roughness ... -
The Measurement of Atmospheric Fluxes near the Surface: A Generalized Approach
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A covariance computer capable of accepting analog signals representing any two atmospheric variables is described. The instrument computes the covariance in a frequency band governed at high frequencies by the sensor ... -
Three-Dimensional Pressure-Sphere Anemometer System
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A rugged and stable pressure-sphere anemometer system is described which Provides an accurate measurement of wind velocity and direction within a meter of the ground. The horizontal wind velocity, (u2 + v2)½, agreed very ... -
A Floating Drag-Plate Lysimeter for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Research
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)The description is presented of the design, calibration and operation of a 100-ton, floating, drag-plate, lysimeter used both for measurement of atmospheric shear stress and evapotranspiration from a growing grass turf. ... -
Flux Emissivity Tables for Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide and Ozone
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Flux emissivities for the H2O bands and window, and for CO2 and O3, were evaluated from Elsasser's wavelength-dependent absorption coefficients and flux tranmissivities. The flux emissivities for water vapor differ ... -
A Family of Strictly Proper Scoring Rules Which Are Sensitive to Distance
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)An assessment which is ?further away? from the ?true? event than another assessment should receive a lower score. A definition of distance (from the true event) is considered as well as the sensitivity of scoring rules to ... -
Computer Forecasts of Maximum and Minimum Temperatures
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)An automated system for predicting maximum and minimum surface temperatures for 12- to 60-hr projections is described. The system uses multiple regression equations derived for 131 cities in the United States and 12 in ... -
Boundary Conditions for Fine-Mesh Limited-Area Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A fine-mesh, limited-area, nondivergent barotropic forecast is initialized with fine-scale wind data with time-variant lateral boundary conditions derived from a large-scale, coarse-mesh forecast. Undesirable instabilities ... -
Statistical-Dynamical Predictions
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)By analogy with Gibbs' statistical mechanics, a statistical-dynamical theory is described which can be applied to the problem of atmospheric predictions from synoptic charts. The m variables and constants whose measurement ... -
A Monte Carlo Method for Testing the Statistical Significance of a Regression Equation
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)A Monte Carlo technique for testing the statistical significance of an estimate by regression is described. It is illustrated on a medium-range prediction of precipitation. The purpose of the technique is to permit the use ... -
Climatic Change as a Mathematical Problem
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)Formulating reasonable hypotheses regarding climatic change requires physical insight and ingenuity, but subsequently testing these hypotheses demands quantitative computation. Many features of today's climate have been ... -
