The Diurnal Variation of Precipitation Frequency over Weather Ship M
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)The diurnal precipitation variation over northerly oceans is studied with the aid of the 3-hr synoptic observations from Weather Ship M at 66N, 02E during the 20-year period 1949?68. The precipitation frequencies possess ... -
A Test for the Scale Parameters of Two Gamma Distributions using the Generalized Likelihood Ratio
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)The method of maximum likelihood is used to develop a statistical test for the scale parameters of two gamma distributions with common shape factors. A simple method of determining the power of the test using the non-central ... -
Preliminary Estimates of Energy Conversion in a Weak Disturbance in the Easterlies
(American Meteorological Society, 1970)The possible roles of the boundary flux of potential energy and the basic tropical easterly current in maintaining weak, quasi-steady, linear, lower tropospheric disturbances were examined for several map times utilizing ... -

On the Aerosol Particle Slip Correction Factor
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The slip correction factor for equations of particle motion is an item to which apparently little thought is given these days. The fact that the constants are for the most part empirical and that the values used are ... -

The Pressure-Subtracting Hypsometer: A New Instrument for Measuring Atmospheric Pressure
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A pressure-measuring device is described which combines the principles of a hypsometer and a mercury barometer. It provides the accuracy and stability of the latterthe sensitivity of an aneroid device, and the mechanical ... -
Comparison of Airborne and Ground Based Weather Radars
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Radar PPI photodata on thunderstorm echoes, obtained in a cooperative FAA/NSSL experimental program utilizing a 3-cm airborne radar and a 10-cm ground radar, are examined within the framework of a simplified storm reflectivity ... -
Atmospheric Turbidity over the United States, 1961–1966
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Five years of turbidity measurements from a network of stations in the United States are analyzed. Measurements are made with the Volz sunphotometer; the instrumentits calibration, and its use are described. The relationship ... -
An Experimental Determination of the Depolarization of Scattered Laser Light by Atmospheric Air
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The previously adopted values of the depolarization factor of clear atmospheric air are checked with the values obtained by lidar facilities, and with those obtained in laboratory measurements, using scattering of a He-Ne ... -
Polarization and Vertical Velocities of Dot Angel Echoes
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Polarization and vertical velocity of angel echoes were measured by means of a vertically pointing Doppler radar. Resulting analysis showed that most often the depolarization was between ?9 and ?15 db. A mean depolarization ... -
An Isolated Cumulus Cloud Modification Project
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A randomized seeding experiment was conducted in Flagstaff, Ariz., in July and August of 1967 wherein the heights, rainfall amounts and rainfall durations of isolated cumuli were measured. Twenty-one clouds were studied, ...
