Flow around a Complex Building: Comparisons between Experiments and a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Approach
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)An experiment investigating flow around a single complex building was performed in 2000. Sonic anemometers were placed around the building, and two-dimensional wind velocities were recorded. An energy-budget and wind-measuring ... -
Neural Network Classifiers for Local Wind Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)This paper evaluates the quality of neural network classifiers for wind speed and wind gust prediction with prediction lead times between +1 and +24 h. The predictions were realized based on local time series and model ... -
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in New England, Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)From 1958 to 1963 an experiment was conducted in the New England region of Australia, in which clouds were seeded with silver iodide smoke released from an aircraft. Clouds over two areas were seeded, with random choice ... -

Atmospheric Lateral Diffusion Estimates from Tetroons
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Successive tetroon releases are utilized to provide an estimate of the lateral diffusion from a continuous point source as a function of downwind distance. On the average the tetroons yield a lateral standard deviation ... -
A Study of Lateral and Longitudinal Intensities of Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)An analysis of the lateral and longitudinal intensifies of turbulence measured on a 62-m meteorological tower over a two-year period at White Sands Missile Range shows that both intensifies decrease with height in all ... -
Modeling of Velocity Distributions Inside and Above Tall Crops
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Velocity distributions inside and above a model crop were investigated. The model crop consisted of flexible plastic strips fastened to the floor of a low speed wind tunnel. The experimental results indicated that at some ... -
On the Dependence of Wind Variability on Surface Wind Speed, Richardson Number and Height Above Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Some results obtained from double-theodolite measurements of the wind variability near Shilo, Manitoba, are presented. Wind variability [σ(s,t)] is defined here as the standard vector deviation of the difference between ... -
A Technique for Estimating Low-Level Wind Velocity from Satellite Photographs of Cellular Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)A technique for estimating the low-level wind field from satellite photographs of cumuliform cellular cloud patterns is presented. This technique applies to areas of such patterns, which are frequently photographed behind ... -
Cloud and Terrestrial Albedo Determinations from TIROS Satellite Pictures
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)In order to place cloud interpretation from the TIROS satellite pictures on a more objective basis, methods have been developed for computing radiance and albedos from the pictures. Provision was made for multiple scattering ... -
Infrared Flux Divergence Calculations with Newly Constructed Radiation Tables
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)This paper presents some sample computations of infrared radiative flux divergence due to atmospheric water vapor. These calculations are based upon newly constructed radiation tables which were obtained from the radiometersonde ... -
Measurement of Stratospheric Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The system described in this article is currently being used extensively for the measurement of atmospheric temperature from 65 kilometers down to the level of balloon observation with an accuracy of approximately ±5K at ... -
A Case Study of the Vertical Distribution of Atmospheric Ozone
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Vertical distributions of ozone observed at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at Fort Collins, Colorado, on 5, 6 and 7 May 1963 by means of the chemiluminescent ozone-sonde are compared with the structure of the wind and ... -
A Soil-Gas Emanation Measurement System Used for Radon–222
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)The transfer of various gases through the soil-atmosphere interface is of interest to agronomists, meteorologists, biologists and many others. Such gases include carbon dioxide, water vapor and radon. A system applicable ... -
The Fluorescent Particle Atmospheric Tracer
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)This paper describes the current status and discuss the validity of the fluorescent particle (FP) tracer technique. Properties of the material itself, the blower generator, membrane filter, drum impactor, and Rotorod ... -
The Size Distribution of Radioactive Aerosols in the Upper Troposphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)An aircraft-borne impactor-filter system for the collection of tropospheric aerosols of natural and fission-product origin is described. The system has been used in studies of the size distribution of atmospheric particles ... -
Statistical Methods for Persistent Precipitation Patterns
(American Meteorological Society, 1965)Procedures are developed to estimate the probability of occurrence for a given consecutive sequence of wet and dry days which begins with a specified day of the year. A good first approximation for such a probability can ...
