A Modern Thermo-Kinetic Warm Fog Dispersal System for Commercial Airports
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)An extensive investigation has been made to arrive at near-optimum specifications for a thermo-kinetic warm fog dispersal system. This study included passive heat tests, subscale heat/momentum tests, and tests with a single ... -
A Critical Evaluation of a Simple Mixed-Layer Model with Penetrative Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A simple mixed-layer model with variable inversion strengths is validated with data. An algorithm is developed to obtain mixed-layer heights by analytically solving a cubic polynomial equation which is derived from, but ... -
An Objective Forecast Method Developed for Lake Ontario Induced Snowfall Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A research effort was initiated in 1976 to develop an objective lake-effect snowfall forecast model for each of the Great Lakes. It is the purpose of this paper to present the development and evaluation of the forecast ... -
Non-Climatic Trends in Divisional and State Mean Temperatures: A Case Study in Indiana
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Concern about climatic change and its effects on man has been increasing. Climatic changes affect the production of food and the allocation of energy resources. Proper interpretation of climatic change and the effect of ... -
Estimating Hourly Mixing Depths from Historical Meteorological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The planetary boundary layer is defined as the layer of the lower atmosphere whose characteristics are directly influenced by the ground surface. In the atmosphere, turbulent mixing forms and maintains this layer; hence, ... -

Lagrangian Similarity Modeling of Vertical Diffusion from a Ground-Level Source
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The crosswind-integrated concentrations of a diffusing tracer were calculated from Lagrangian similarity theory and compared to field data at distances from 50?3200 m downwind of the ground-level tracer sources. The agreement ... -

Comments on “Discussion of the Interpretation Problem Encountered in Single-Wavelength Lidar Transmissometers”
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)No abstract available. -
Spatial Correlations of Monthly Rainfall: Applications in Climatology and Weather Modification Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Spatial correlations based on monthly rainfall totals from northwest Georgia for the period 1949?77 are studied. This work, a part of the Meteorological Effects of Thermal Energy Releases (METER) Program, determines natural ... -
A Simple Approximation for the Variance of Meterological Time Averages
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A simple method for approximating the variance of meteorological time averages is presented. Graphs of the characteristic time between independent estimates and the ratio of the variance of time-averaged data to that of ... -
An Economical Procedure for Cartesian Interpolation and Display of Reflectivity Factor Data in Three-Dimensional Space
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A fast and efficient procedure has been developed which allows the systematic interpolation of digital reflectivity data from radar space into Cartesian space. The algorithm is designed so that only one ordered pass through ... -
Multiple-Doppler Radar Network Design
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)An objective procedure for determining optimum radar positions in a multiple-Doppler radar network is given for the objective criteria of maximizing the integrated reliability. It is demonstrated for arrays of three to ... -
Experimental Data on the Dynamic Properties of Several Propeller Vanes
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The dynamic properties of three types of commercially available propeller vanes were investigated in a wind tunnel. The same was done for the cup anemometer and wind vane as used on the 200 m mast at Cabauw, the Netherlands, ... -
On the Relationship between the Amount and Frequency of Precipitation over the Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Data at 12 ocean weather stations were used to determine the amount of precipitation by a method devised by Tucker (1961), and precipitation frequency at each site was taken from recent climatic atlases. By combining the ... -
Synoptic Parameters as Discriminators between Hailfall and Less Significant Convective Activity in Northeast Colorado
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Synoptic data are studied to determine which, if any, parameters representing large-scale physical processes can be used to discriminate effectively between days of insignificant convective activity and those with significant ... -
Experimental Evidence of Interhemispheric Transport from Airborne Carbon Monoxide Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Measurements of carbon monoxide made in the equatorial upper troposphere on a Pan American flight around the world accomplished in under three days show large changes with longitude that are interpreted as direct evidence ... -
Developments in the Radiowave Drifts Technique for Measurement of High-Altitude Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The drifts technique derives wind vectors from correlation analysis of spatial and temporal sequences of radiowave field strength at ground level. The paper examines the bases of the analysis, and presents a new method ...
