Statistical Investigation of Anomalies in the Winter Temperature Record of Boston, Massachusetts
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Normal maximum and minimum temperatures are computed for each date of the winter season from the 92-year Boston temperature record. The trend is removed from the normal and individual yearly values and standard deviations ... -
An Experiment in Non-Linear Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The role of statistics in numerical weather prediction should be to aid in the handling of random errors and disturbances. The actual prediction is a problem in dynamics. When the initial conditions are observed with error, ... -
Twelve Years of Cloud Seeding in the Andes of Northern Peru
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)A program of cloud seeding for rain stimulation has been carried on since September 1951, interrupted only by flood periods and the winter dry seasons, on the headwaters of the Rios Moche, Chicama and jequetepeque and ... -
Thermal and Wind Structures Related to Major Cloud Bands of TIROS-Photographed Extratropical Vortices
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Over 50 cases of TIROS-viewed cloud vortices associated with extratropical cyclones over North America, Europe and Asia between April 1962 and November 1963 were examined to determine what meteorological information could ... -
Wind Structure in and above a Tropical Forest
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Winds were measured in and above a tropical rain forest in northern Colombia. Wind speeds below the canopy are only 1 to 5 per cent of that measured 50 ft above the canopy. Wind directions below the canopy appear to be ... -
The Climatology of Soil Moisture, Atmospheric Evaporative Demand, and Resulting Moisture Stress Days for Corn at Ames, Iowa
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The average seasonal march and frequency of soil moisture in the corn root zone at Ames, Iowa, during a 30-yr period was estimated for a well-drained 5-ft soil profile holding 9 inches of available water at field capacity. ... -
Components of the Radiation Balance of Irrigated Plots in a Dry Monsoonal Environment
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Over irrigated crops of cotton grown in a dry monsoonal environment, net radiation was measured daily over a period of one year together with total radiation, duration of sunshine, and wet and dry bulb screen temperature. ... -

Mt. Hood Pressure Pillow Snow Gage
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)At Mt. Hood, Oregon, the Soil Conservations Service has developed and conducted evaluation tests of the pressure pillow approach to measuring the equivalent water content of the snow. Results indicated this method to be a ... -
Automatic Eddy-Flux Measurement with the Evapotron
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The Evapotron, an instrument designed to measure vertical fluxes of heat and water vapor in the lower atmosphere, is described. Completely transistorized, the instrument consumes 50?100 watts and can be operated by a ... -
A Particulate Diffusion Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Results are presented from a series of field experiments at Suffield Experimental Station. In these experiments, glass spheres were released from a continuous elevated point source above gently tolling prairie terrain. The ... -
Parallel-Beam Attenuation of Light, Particularly by Falling Snow
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)A conventional optical system has been used for obtaining a nearly parallel beam of light, with a divergence less than 0.1°. Attenuation measurements over a path of 123 m were made in Montreal during the first part of 1964. ... -
Wind Measurement by Conventional Radar with a Dual Beam pattern
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)A method of measuring wind velocities by a dual beam modification to conventional (non-Doppler) radars is described. The two beams are disposed slightly to either side of the antenna bore-sight axis. This results in a ... -
Mesoscale Wind Structure Revealed by Doppler Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Doppler wind soundings were taken in the lower 4.5 km of the atmosphere at 12 minute intervals during a seven hour period in a snowstorm over eastern Massachusetts. A time-height cross section of the wind revealed numerous ...
