Prediction of Apparent Elevation Angle from Specified Position for an Object in the Troposphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A method is presented for calculating the apparent elevation angle to be expected for an object situated in the troposphere at specified values of geometrical elevation angle and height. The assumptions are made that the ... -
A Calorimetric Method for Measuring Water Content of Hailstones
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A calorimetric method for measuring the liquid water content of hailstones has been developed. When parameters such as the radiative losses of the system and the changes in heat capacity of the apparatus are eliminated by ... -
Formation of Crystallographic Etch Pits on Ice, and Its Application to the Study of Hailstones
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The principle of formation of etch pits with crystal faces on ice crystals is explained as a natural consequence of evaporation (or any sort of dissolution) at concave surfaces of crystals. A new technique of ice etching ... -
The Use of Membrane Filters in Measurements of Ice Nucleus Concentration: II. Comparisons with Cloud Chambers
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Comparisons between ice nucleus concentrations as measured by membrane filters and cloud chambers show good agreement when natural ice nuclei are being sampled. Wide discrepancies in the case of other test aerosols, ... -
A Ten Year Non-Randomized Cloud Seeding Program on the Kings River in California
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)In 1954 a cloud seeding program designed to increase rainfall and snowpack was initiated over the water-shed of the Kings River in the Sierra Range of California. The project has been funded by the Kings River Conservation ... -
Cloud Seeding in Southern Puerto Rico, April–July 1965
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)With the most severe drought on record in its eighteenth month, causing severe damage and hardship in Puerto Rico, several large private concerns and government agencies interested in water decided that the immediate need ... -
Results of Ten Years of Cloud Seeding in Santa Clara County, California
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Ten seasons of commercial cloud seeding in Santa Clara County, California, are evaluated using target and control stations selected in 1955. Comparison of the linear regressions of target rainfall upon control rainfall, ... -
Silver-Iodide Seeding and Rainfall from Convective Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Summer convective clouds over a fairly isolated mountain range over southeastern Arizona were seeded by means of airborne silver-iodide generators. The selection of days to be seeded was made according to a randomization ... -
Effects of Seeding on the Energy of Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Maps of hourly precipitation have been prepared for storms during the 1957?1960 Santa Barbara randomized seeding program. In non-seeded storms, they showed that approximately N?S oriented precipitation bands could be tracked ... -
Natural Radioactivity (Radon-222) and Air Pollution Measurements in Washington, D. C.
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Atmospheric concentrations of radon (Rn222) were measured at urban, suburban and rural sites in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area during a stagnant weather regime in mid August 1965. An analysis of air quality data, ... -
Some Lagrangian Properties of Turbulence Deduced from Atmospheric Diffusion Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Selected Prairie Grass diffusion experiments have been analyzed to determine the so-called Hay-Pasquill scale factor relating Lagrangian and Eulerian scales of turbulence. It was found that an average value of the scale ... -
On Turbulent Diffusion in an Arbitrarily Stratified Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)In an atmosphere with a vertically non-uniform stratification the vertical concentration profile in the lee of a continuous point source can be obtained by a random-walk method, where the vertical step length for the jumping ... -
An Improved Method of Estimating Concentrations and Related Phenomena from a Point Source Emission
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The meteorological features of a refined air pollution evaluation technique are described. Time and space variations of wind speed, dispersion parameters and capping inversions are permitted, and it is believed that the ... -
Methods for Estimating the Probability of Clear Lines-of-Sight, or Sunshine, through the Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Five methods for using standard cloud observations to estimate the probability of a clear line-of-sight, or sunshine, through the atmosphere are described and compared. The root-mean-square errors of the probability estimates ... -
A Stochastic Model of the Frequency and Duration of Weather Events
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A simple Markov chain has been demonstrated to be a potentially useful device for making estimates of the frequencies and durations, from several hours to several weeks, of a large variety of weather events. In order to ...
