Updraft Measurements Beneath the Base of Cumulus and Cumulonimbus Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)During the summers of 1964 and 1965, the Colorado State University Hail Suppression Research Project made updraft measurements beneath the base of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds in northeastern Colorado. Analysis of the ... -
Optimizing the Radar Detection of Clear Air Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A general analysis is made of the turbulent refractivity spectrum in and beyond the limiting microscale and a relation derived for its scattering reflectivity in either the back or bistatic directions. Radar reflectivity ... -
A New Process for the Evaluation of Upper Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The present system of evaluating upper winds by means of radar/radio tracking of pilot and radiosonde balloons is in its most general form to be considered as an overdetermined observation system. The redundancy of information ... -
Evaporation from Bare Low Humic Latosol in Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Despite the high potential evaporation, actual evaporation from Wahiawa Low Humic Latosol measured by hydraulic lysimeters is very low under field conditions. The evaporation from Latosol at field moisture content is only ... -
The Effect of the Long-wave Reflectivity of Natural Surfaces on Surface Temperature Measurements Using Radiometers
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This paper deals with the influence exerted by natural surfaces with non-black body characteristics on surface temperature measurements using the radiation method. The difference between the true surface temperature and ... -
A Computer-Controlled Mobile Micrometeorological Observation System
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This article describes a 96-channel computer-controlled data acquisition, processing and recording system designed for observational studies of turbulence structure in the atmospheric boundary layer. The system scans all ... -
Temperature and Ozone Variations Near Tropopause Level over Hurricane Isbell October 1964
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Temperature and ozone data obtained in hurricane Isbell on 14 October 1964 by an instrumented U-2 aircraft are used in conjunction with several radiosonde observations to reconstruct some features of the structure at ... -
Structure of a Tropical Disturbance Based on Solutions of a Multilevel Baroclinic Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Vertical motions in the tropics are computed for an easterly wave perturbation associated with an upper tropospheric cold core low. The winds are deduced from the pressure field by solving a five level non-geostrophic model ... -
Further Studies with a Quasi-Geostrophic Numerical Model Incorporating Effects of Released Latent Heat
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Numerical integrations with a 5-level quasi-geostrophic model incorporating effects of released latent heat were carried out for three cases of winter cyclogenesis. For purposes of comparison, calculations were also performed ... -
On the Influences of Fields of Motion, Baroclinicity and Latent Heat Source on Frontogenesis
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This study clarifies the dependence of frontogenesis on vertical and horizontal motion, baroclinicity and the liberated latent heat of vaporization. In a typical case, the relative contributions of the horizontal and ... -

Ultraviolet Dosimetry by Plastics
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Lucite type HC-201, Saran, and several TYPCS of Plexiglas were tested as potential inexpensive receptors for integrating daily ultraviolet doses from sun and sky. Plexiglas type ?G? of 0.03 inch thickness was found most ... -
A Radar Attenuation-Reflectivity Technique for the Remote Measurement of Drop-Size Distributions of Rain
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The two parameters of the Marshall-Palmer drop-size distribution for rains are developed as functions of measurements of dual-wavelength relative attenuation and single-wavelength equivalent reflectivity. Accurate ... -
A Readout Technique for the Laser Fog Disdrometer
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Recently a new instrument termed the laser fog disdrometer was introduced by Silverman, Thompson and Ward. As implied by the name, the function of the instrument is the determination of the size distribution of fog droplets. ... -
Optical Rectification and Gridding of Satellite Photographs
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The desirability of, and theoretical requirements for, optical rectification and gridding of satellite photographs are discussed for cases of both low and high TIROS tilt angles. The equipment designed and built for that ... -
Examples of the Meteorological Capability of the High Resolution Infrared Radiometer on the Nimbus I Satellite
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) carried by the Nimbus I meteorological Satellite provided detailed nighttime cloud information in the vertical as well as in the horizontal dimension. When the instantaneous ...
