Terpene-Iodine Compounds as Ice Nuclei
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Silver iodide particles deposited on vegetation may photolyse and combine with natural terpenes from tree oils to form compounds which either themselves become aerosols, or become attached to aerosol particles. In either ... -
Investigation of Optimal Design for Supercooled Cloud Dispersal Equipment and Techniques
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)To determine optimal cloud-seeding techniques and optimal design specifications for a dry-ice seeding machine (the Cloudbuster), multiple strip seeding of stratiform decks was performed during which seeding rate, pellet ... -
Solar Radiation Measurements in the High Himalayas (Everest Region)
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)This paper discuses the solar radiation data assembled during the two recent expeditions to the Everest area. These were the Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering Expedition of 1960?61, led by Sir Edmund Hillary, and the ... -
A Quasi-Geostrophic Numerical Model Incorporating Effects of Release of Latent Heat
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A quasi-geostrophic numerical model for predicting precipitation amounts and the heights of the 1000-, 850-, 700-, 500-, and 300-mb surfaces is described. The basic equations are the vorticity and omega equations. Influences ... -
On the Contribution of Released Latent Heat to Changes in Available Potential Energy
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Using quasi-geostrophic theory, equations are derived separating from other factors the contribution of release of latent heat to changes in the available potential energy. A synoptic case study of a major winter cyclone ... -
Suggested Procedures for Operationally Integrating Meteorological Satellite and Conventional Data for Extratropical Regions
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The integration of satellite and conventional data can lead to an improved meteorological analysis and interpretation. Procedures for such a data integration are suggested. The advantages that can be gained from this data ... -
A Study of Thunderstorm Formation Along Dry Lines
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A study designed to point out the effect of the frequently sharp CT-MT boundary, herein called the ?dry line,? on thunderstorm development was undertaken using synoptic surface charts, upper air soundings, 500-mb charts, ... -
Mesoscale Structure of 11–20 km Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)Several time series of vertical wind velocity profiles obtained by tracking spherical superpressure balloons using l1?20 radars at Point Mugu, California and Cape Kennedy, Florida are analyzed. In the altitude range 11?20 ... -
A Comparison of Tower and Pibal Wind Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)An empirical study of the time and space variability of the wind as measured by a tower-mounted wind instrument and triple-theodolite pilot balloon observations at Green River, Utah, during the Mouths of June and July 1964, ... -
Temperature, Humidity, and Wind Variations During Dissipation of a Low-Level jet
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)The time and height variations of temperature, wind speed, and moisture content observed at the Cedar Hill tower during the dissipation of a low-level jet on the morning of 14 May 1962 are presented and discussed. Three ... -
A System for Logging Integrated Meteorological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A system with the following features has been designed and constructed for logging meteorological data. Wind direction is read once each 15 min. The number of revolutions of each anemometer on a six-anemometer wind system ... -
Presentations of Surface Wind and Turbulence Using the Cathode-Ray Tube
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)A combined analogue-digital technique is described for displaying the surface wind at various positions in the field, as vectors, correspondingly arranged, on the screen of a cathode-ray tube. Portable photoelectric ... -
A Modern Statistical Analysis and Documentation of Historical Temperature Records in California, Oregon and Washington, 1821–1964
(American Meteorological Society, 1966)An analysis is made of historical temperature records in the western United States. An investigation of the power spectra of monthly mean and extreme temperature fluctuations in the frequency range between 0 and 6 cycles ... -

Corrections to be Applied to Measurements Made with Eppley (and other) Spectral Radiometers When Used with Schott Colored Glass Filters
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)This paper demonstrates, in summary form, some corrections to be made to values of spectral flux as measured with Eppley spectral pyranometers. The results of an investigation into the occurrence of what are believed to ... -

Resolution of a Radar Antenna for Distributed Targets
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The measured reflectivity of a distributed target is given by the integration of reflectivity over the radar antenna radiation pattern. Assuming a Gaussian form for the main antenna lobe and fairly simple exponential and ... -
Experimental Determination of the Radar Cross Sections of Artificial Hailstones Containing Water
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The radar cross sections of particles grown in a hail tunnel (ice spheres with a spongy ice shell) and snow spheres dipped in water (spongy ice throughout) were measured at wavelengths of 3.21 cm, 4.67 cm, and 10 cm. The ... -
Estimating the Probability of Clear Lines-of-Sight from Sunshine and Cloud Cover Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Observations of hourly sunshine, angular elevation of the sun above the horizon, cloud cover, and a three-dimensional cloud model, were utilized to derive a set of cloud width, thickness, and spacing values for estimating ...
