      Wyngaard, J. C.; Lumley, J. L. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Design data and experimental results are presented for an eight-pole optimally flat filter which makes available the first seven derivatives of the filtered input signal.

    • An Airborne Generator of Metaldehyde Smoke 

      Fukuta, Norihiko (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      A high-output airborne metaldehyde smoke generator was designed for cloud seeding purposes and tested on the ground and in cumulus clouds. The condensation method was employed for smoke production. Hot exhaust gas from the ...

    • The Role of Heat Transfer in the Design and Performance of Solarimeters 

      Anderson, Margaret C. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      The overall heat transfer coefficient of three types of thermopile solarimeters were determined from the rate of change of emf after an instantaneous change in the level of incident radiation. Conductive and radiative ...

    • An Acetate Dew Gage 

      Hungerford, Kenneth E. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      A dew gage constructed of matted acetate has been developed which gives consistent results but only approximates the variable dew deposit on leafy vegetation. Actual amount of dew is computed by weighing the gage in light ...

    • Satellite-Viewed Jet Stream Clouds in Relation to the Observed Wind Field 

      Viezee, W.; Endlich, R. M.; Serebreny, S. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Twenty cases of jet stream cirrus clouds observed in TIROS photographs over the United States are related to the atmospheric wind field. The orientation of features such as shadow lines, sharp-edged cirrus sheets, cirrus ...

    • The Detection of Zinc Sulfide in Melted Snow Samples 

      Morgan, Griffith (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      A modern Becquerel phosphososcope has been constructed for detecting zinc sulfide tracer in melted snow samples. The device utilizes the components of the real-time sensor described by Nickola et al., adapted to a rotating ...

    • Cloud Seeding Experiment using Common Salt 

      Biswas, K. R.; Kapoor, R. K.; Kanuga, K. K.; Ramana Murty, Bh V. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      An experiment on artificial stimulation of rain using a warm cloud seeding technique was undertaken in three nearby climatologically similar regions, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in northwest India. Analysis of the data from 18 ...

    • Estimating Refractive Index Spectra in Regions of Clear Air Turbulence 

      Stephens, J. J.; Reiter, E. R. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Estimates of the spectrum of refractivity fluctuations to be expected in regions of clear turbulence are shown for scales in the inertial subrange. Based on the complete analysis by Atlas et al., it is concluded that radar ...

    • Mesoscale Temperature Changes in the Supersonic Transport Climb Region 

      Kreitzberg, Carl W. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Supersonic transport (SST) fuel consumption is very sensitive to ambient temperatures in the region of climb from 25,000 to 52,000 ft within 200 n mi and 20 min of takeoff. It has been suggested in the literature that ...

    • Numerical Analysis of Convective Motions over a Mountain Ridge 

      Fosberg, Michael A. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      The convection associated with a valley wind regime was analyzed by numerical techniques. The Boussinesq equations and their energy properties were used to define the terms computed from observed data. The numerical results ...

    • Some Doppler Radar Measurements of Circulation Patterns in Convective Storms 

      Easterbrook, Calvin C. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Using Doppler radar measurements, an attempt has been made to determine whether convective storms have characteristic internal circulation patterns. Both vertical and horizontal velocity data were used in the analysis. ...

    • An Empirical Examination of Cumulus Entrainment 

      Sloss, Peter W. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Most analytic theories and laboratory models of cumulus entrainment predict that the rate of influx of ambient fluid into a convective element depends inversely on the diameter of the updraft zone. A study of 15 continental ...

    • Large Amplitude Lee Waves and Chinook Winds 

      Beran, Donald W. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      Four types of chinook winds are described and features detectable in satellite pictures are shown. The hypothesis that large amplitude lee waves could be a possible driving mechanism for chinook winds is investigated for ...

    • Direct Fluxometer Measurements of the Evaporation from a Bare Soil 

      Dryden, P. S. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      The accuracy of the fluxometer system, first presented by Sellers and Hodges, is evaluated using data collected with a modification of the original air sampling tunnels. In order to investigate the accuracy of the present ...

    • Evaporation from a Drying Soil 

      Fuchs, M.; Tanner, C. B. (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      A combination formula for evaporation that uses the surface temperature measured by infrared thermometers as a boundary condition is successfully tested against the evaporation obtained from a detailed energy balance and ...

    • Strong Gusts in the Lowest 250-m Layer over the City of Tokyo 

      Arakawa, Hidedoshi; Tsutsumi, Keiichiro (American Meteorological Society, 1967)
      From the architectural point of view, the vertical variation of strong gusts over cities is very important. From observational data taken at five levels (26, 67, 107, 173 and 253 m) instrumented at the Tokyo Tower, the ...
