      Peterson, Kendall R. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      In order to study the behavior of the plume emitted from the air-cooled nuclear reactor at Brookhaven National Laboratory on central Long Island, radioactive argon-41 has been measured by an airborne gamma-ray spectrometer ...

    • Dewpoint Temperature Inversions 

      Moses, Harry; Ashby, W. C.; Bogner, Mary A. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      A study was made of the diurnal and seasonal variations of the vertical dewpoint gradient based on measurements taken at 1.2, 9.4 and 131 ft above ground at the Argonne National Laboratory during the period 1 December 1960 ...

    • The Total Energy Environment of Severe Storms 

      Darkow, Grant L. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      The distribution in time and space of the total specific energy (cpT + gZ + Lq + V2/2) of the environment of severe storms is examined. Comparison of the total energy profiles of tornado proximity soundings with the closest ...

    • Estimates of Air and Moisture Flux into Hailstorms on the High Plains 

      Auer, August H.; Marwitz, John D. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      Based on airborne observations, estimates of air and moisture flux have been calculated for 18 hailstorms: eight in Colorado, one in Oklahoma, and nine in South Dakota. The average air flux for hailstorms in this study was ...

    • A Calculation of Percentage Area Covered by Convective Clouds from Moisture Convergence 

      Krishnamurti, T. N. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      In large-scale tropical flows an estimate of the percentage area covered by active convective cloud elements may be made according to certain theoretical formulations involving parameterization of convective-scale motions. ...

    • Some Aspects of Tropical Oceanic Cloud Populations 

      Holle, Ronald L. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      Oceanic cloud populations were photographed from the R. V. Crawford stationed near 13N, 55W during a 22-day period in August?September 1963. A panoramic series of six pictures per hour was taken with a Hasselblad camera ...

    • The Effect of Spatial Averaging on Spectrum Estimation 

      Silverman, Bernard A. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      The effect of instrument baseline averaging on the estimated spectrum density of a homogeneous random field of a scalar variable in turbulent flow is investigated. The spectrum transfer function of the spatial filter is ...

    • Accuracy of Finite-Difference Methods Applied to the Advection Equation 

      Molenkamp, Charles R. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      Numerical solutions to the equation for advection under conditions that permit an analytic solution are calculated using various finite-difference approximations, and their accuracy is investigated by comparison with the ...

    • Diagnosis of Early Baroclinic NWP Models 

      Ellsaesser, Hugh W. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      On the basis of the evidence available to date it is concluded that the two most important faults of early baroclinic models, 1) overdevelopment in terms of a general increase in kinetic energy and 2) failure to amplify ...

    • Observation of Mesoscale Eddies with Dual-Beam Radar 

      Lob, Walter H.; Bishop, Alexander W. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      tract

    • Ice Nuclei from Auto Exhaust and Organic Vapors 

      Schaefer, Vincent J. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      tract

    • A Solarimeter Stand with Motorized Occulting Disc 

      Sumner, C. J. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      An instrument stand for a solarimeter is described, which enables records of diffuse radiation to be obtained. A disc attached to an electric motor-driven mechanism following the path of the sun keeps the sensor continuously ...

    • Corrigendum 

      Unknown author (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      Correction to Volume 6, Issue 4, page 650.

    • A High-Resolution Continuous Pressure Sensor Modification for Radiosondes 

      Glass, Roy I.; Reynolds, Ralph D.; Lamberth, Roy L. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      This paper describes how continuous pressure measurements may be obtained by making a relatively simple modification to any standard or clock-switched radiosonde which can be flown on a rising or floating balloon. The ...

    • Estimation of Stratospheric Flow from Satellite 15-Micron Radiation 

      Zak, J. Allen; Panofsky, H. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
      Ten-day average ?thermal winds? derived from TIROS VII in the CO2 band are compared to the corresponding geostrophic winds at 10 mb at latitudes 40?60N. The correlations for the west-east components are of order 0.8, those ...

    • The Glaciation of an AgI-Seeded Cumulus Cloud 

      Maccready, P. B.; Baughman, R. G. (American Meteorological Society, 1968)
