High Resolution Balloonborne Temperature Sensor
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A high resolution light weight temperature sensor for use on the Jimsphere balloon is described. An error analysis of the temperature sensor is presented which shows the sensor to have an rms error of 0.44C at the surface ... -
Computation of Temperature at the Lifted Condensation Level
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Several approximate formulae for evaluation of the temperature at the lifted condensation level are developed. Calculations made with these simple algebraic equations are compared with results obtained from formulations ... -
High Altitude Radiometric Measurements of Cirrus
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Based on aircraft measurements of the radiant emittance of cirrus clouds and cloudless sky, the 8-13? infrared transmissivity of high cirrus clouds was calculated. The measurements and applied calculations were made for ... -
Some Mean Hurricane Soundings
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Some "mean hurricane soundings" have been computed from 92 radiosonde observations collected within 100 n mi of the centers of hurricanes. High correlations between various parameters and the sea-level pressures of the ... -
Flight Hazards in Thunderstoms Determined by Doppler Velocity Variance
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)Vertical velocity variance was measured by means of Doppler radar in a thunderstorm in which no hail fell on the ground. At least 5% of the variance measurements were too large to be accounted for by the spread of precipitation ... -
Comparison of Insects' Flight Characteristics with Observed Characteristics of Radar Dot Angels
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)To assist the radar meteorologist in identifying certain types of echoes believed to originate with insects, the flying characteristics of insects have been obtained from entomologists'reports and compared with observed ... -
Measurement of Snowfall by Optical Attenuation
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A transmissometer has been used to provide a continuous record with good time resolution of falling snow. The pulsed light, of wavelength 0.45?, traversed a path 71 m long about 20 m above ground level A total snow amount ... -
An Automatic Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A cloud condensation nuclei counter has been developed in which the concentration of water droplets which form on cloud condensation nuclei in a large thermal diffusion chamber is determined electronically by measuring the ... -
The Importance of Natural Glaciation on the Modification of Tropical Maritime Cumuli by Silver Iodide Seeding
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)In order to determine if natural glaciation proceeds rapidly or extensively enough in tropical maritime cumuli to influence attempts to modify their dynamical behavior by seeding with silver iodide, a detailed study was ... -
A Numerical Experiment on the Spatial Distribution of Cloud Seeding Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)An examination is made of the hypothesis that the inconclusive or marginal effects of many cloud seeding operations are due, at least in part, to an inhomogeneous distribution of freezing nuclei resulting in great ranges ... -
Fog Modification with Long-Chain Alcohols
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The growth of water drops on condensation nuclei in a supersaturated environment can be greatly retarded by the presence of long-chain alcohols which form monomolecular layers on the liquid surface. The possibility that a ... -
The Area of Maximum Effect Resulting from the Lake Almanor Randomized Cloud Seeding Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)A randomized cloud seeding experiment was conducted on the Lake Almanor watershed near Mt. Lassen, Calif., during five winter seasons, 1962-1957. The target area extended approximately 20 mi east-west and 15 mi north-south, ... -
The Size Distribution of Cumulus Clouds in Representative Florida Populations
(American Meteorological Society, 1969)The cumulus cloud populations of the Florida peninsula were photographed periodically and comprehensively on 19 days in August and September 1957, using multiple, high-flying aircraft. Particular sets of these photographs, ...
