Estimating the Hazard of Ice Accretion in Canada from Climatological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Ice storms are a major hazard which must be considered in structural design in all parts of Canada. The frequencies of occurrence of freezing precipitation are used to obtain a simple index of this hazard. To obtain more ... -
Temperature Modification and Costs of Electric Power Generation
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The electric power industry has long been known to be sensitive to weather events. In particular, daily temperatures in distribution areas are known to affect electric power consumption. In this paper the relationship ... -
A Numerical Model of the Urban Heat Island
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The heat island phenomenon is surveyed. Existing theories are criticized as being excessively qualitative. A general purpose, numerical energy budget model is described and applied to the urban atmosphere. Calculations for ... -
Atmospheric Wake Phenomena near the Canary Islands
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The von Kármán theory of vortex trails and the concept of vorticity diffusion are applied to atmospheric vortex trails generated by Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura Islands of the Canary Island group, and a pair ... -
Cold Air Drainage on a Forested Mountain Slope
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The nocturnal cold airflow on a small forested slope was studied in an attempt to relate the volume and velocity of flow to the net radiation balance of the slope. The hillside, with an approximately 30% grade, was about ... -
The Formation of Longitudinal Sand Dunes by Large Helical Eddies in the Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)It is suggested that helical roll vortices in the atmosphere are responsible for the formation of the longitudinal sand dunes that cover over half of the area of the large deserts of the world. The dunes are aligned in the ... -
Measures of the Utility of Probabilistic Predictions in Cost-Loss Ratio Decision Situations in which Knowledge of the Cost-Loss Ratios is Incomplete
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Comparative operational evaluation of probabilistic prediction procedures in cost-loss ratio decision situations in which the evaluator's knowledge of the cost-loss ratio is expressed in probabilistic terms is considered. ... -
An Experiment in Localized Numerical Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Hourly forecasts for five cities in the eastern United States have been generated by interpolation as by-products of the primitive equation (PE) numerical prediction program at the National Meteorological Center since ... -
A Real-Time Interactive Control System for Meteorological Operations
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A man-machine control system is described which is designed specifically for use with computerized data processing in operational numerical weather analysis and prognosis. The equipment configuration and organization of ... -

The Inference of the Charge Distribution in Thunderstorms from Airborne Measurements of the Electric Field
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A computer-oriented numerical method is developed that under certain physically acceptable assumptions appears to make possible the calculation of the charge distribution in thunderstorms and other clouds from the record ... -
A Method for Estimating Rainfall Rate-Radar Reflectivity Relationships
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Raindrop-size distributions obtained with the drop camera have been used to determine rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships for nine different locations throughout the world. Since the climates sampled were quite ... -
The Role of Organized Unsaturated Convective Downdrafts in the Structure and Rapid Decay of an Equatorial Disturbance
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The Line Islands Experiment, conducted on and near Palmyra, Fanning and Christmas Islands during February-April 1967, produced extensive data on disturbances of the equatorial trough zone. One disturbance which passed ...
