Vertical Motion and Precipitation Computations
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Large-scale vertical motions are computed using a multi-level numerical model which employs the quasi-geostrophic filter and obtains vertical motions at four pressure levels. The vertical motion and precipitation computations ... -
An Approach to Forecasting Seasonal Rainfall in Israel
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)In a study of 41 years of rainfall records, it was found that October rainfall amounts correlated well with the following season's total rainfall for Israel. Using mean 500-mb contour charts for the period 1950?1964, a ... -
Marine Air Penetration in Central California
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Three-dimensional analysis shows the sea-breeze front to be primarily a wind shift line in which the thermal discontinuity lags behind the shear line and becomes quasi-stationary in the afternoon. Two synoptic patterns ... -
Tetroon Trajectories in an Urban Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Tetroon flights at heights near 300 m within the Los Angeles Basin illustrate the useful results to be derived from the use of Lagrangian probes in an urban environment. The tetroon trajectories depict air-flow reversals ... -
Estimating Low-Level Tetroon Trajectories
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Return tag information from a number of low-level, constant volume balloons (tetroons), tracked by radar for some tens of miles in air diffusion studies, has extended the useful horizon of these atmospheric tracers to ... -

On the Relation Between TIROS Radiation Measurements and Atmospheric Infrared Cooling
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)TIROS II channel 2 and channel 4 measurements of infrared radiation are statistically correlated with corresponding radiometersonde measurements of radiation divergence within various layers of the atmosphere. Estimates ... -
Stormfury Cumulus Experiments: Preliminary Results 1965
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This paper is a preliminary summary of results of a tropical cumulus seeding experiment. Individual supercooled cumuli were seeded by silver iodide pyrotechnics and studied before and after by radar, photography and ... -
Effects of Seeding Isolated Cumulus Clouds with Silver Iodide
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Isolated cumulus clouds with supercooled tops were seeded from an aircraft. Either a large (20 gm), small (0.2 gm) or zero quantity of silver iodide was used, with random choice of treatment. The amount of rain which fell ... -
An Evaluation of Silver Iodide Cloud Seeding by Aircraft in Western Quebec, Canada, 1960–1963
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A precipitation physics project aimed at discovering basic relationships in the chain of cause and effect in precipitation mechanisms was operated in western Quebec province, Canada, from 1959 to 1963 inclusive. In addition ... -
Sulphate Aerosol at Delhi in Relation to the Associated Chloride Component
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Using the Millipore filter technique, measurements have been made of the concentration of sulphate aerosols in ground air layers at Delhi during 1962-63. The aerosol content, on the average, is found to be high during ... -
Solid Water-Insoluble Particles in Hailstones and Their Geophysical Significance
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)By melting concentric layers of ice, the size distribution and concentration of solid water-insoluble particles accumulated in hailstones were determined for three hailstorms in Colorado. It was found that in approximately ... -
The Use of Membrane Filters in Measurements of Ice Nucleus Concentration. I. Effect of Sampled Air Volume
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The membrane filter technique for detecting ice nuclei in atmospheric air has the disadvantage that the measured concentration decreases with the volume of air sampled. Various possible causes are investigated. The effect ... -
A Preliminary Climatology of Thunderstorm Penetrations of the Tropopause in the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This paper presents a four year climatology of penetrations of the tropopause (of more than 5000 ft) by thunderstorms at ten locations in the United States. WSR-57 radar data for 1961 through 1964 were used to determine ...
