Application of the Theory of Adjustment to Double Theodolite Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The position of a pilot balloon or any other airborne target which is followed by two theodolites is usually computed by means of the known baselength (i.e., the distance between the two theodolite stations) and three ... -
A Demonstration of Antenna Beam Errors in Radar Reflectivity Patterns
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Measurement errors caused by antenna main-lobe and side-lobe distortion are computed for seven model thunderstorm reflectivity distributions observed over various ranges by model antenna beams with half-power widths of one ... -
Some Radar Measurements of Turbulence in Snow
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The Doppler spectrum of snow contains information about the turbulent wind field in which the snow is embedded. The average spread of the spectrum is proportional to the kinetic energy per unit mass of air in turbulent ... -
Some Statistics of Daily Rainfall Occurrence for the Canadian Prairie Provinces
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)A two-state Markov chain model provided very serviceable approximations to the April-September frequency statistics for duration of dry spells recorded in 45 years' observations at Edmonton, Swift Current and Winnipeg. It ... -
A Model 10-Inch Rainstorm
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)On 16?17 August 1959, a severe rainstorm in which amounts exceeded 10 inches in 16 hours occurred in southern Illinois and bordering states. A dense raingage network was located on the major axis of this storm, and one of ... -
A Case Study Using Ozone to Determine Structure and Air Motions at the Tropopause
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Data from an instrumented U-2 aircraft, an ozonesonde and standard radiosondes provided detailed meteorological and ozone data on 2 October 1963 in the vicinity of the tropopause over a stretch of several hundred miles. ... -
Infrared Heat Transfer by Atmospheric Water Vapor
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Empirical data on transmission functions are used to set up a general program to calculate the infrared radiation flux in the atmosphere in the two major regions of water vapor absorption. These empirical data are used as ... -
Analysis and Interpretation of TIROS II Infrared Radiation Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Infrared radiation data obtained by the TIROS II meteorological satellite are discussed in relation to a frontal system over North America. It appears from this study that the radiation data may be useful not only for ... -
Mid-Season Average Zonal Winds at Sea Level and at 500 mb South of 25 Degrees South, and a Brief Comparison with the Northern Hemisphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Meridional profiles of sea-level and 500-mb average zonal winds at mid-season in both hemispheres are presented and described. Over much of the southern hemisphere the mean zonal westerly flow changes little during the ... -
Evolution of a Graphical Prediction Technique Incorporating Ageostrophic Effects
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Experience with a surface prognostic technique developed by Reed revealed some systematic defects, which were corrected subjectively in practice. In hopes of eliminating the defects, a forecast equation is derived here in ... -
Observational Grid Spacing Effect on the Accuracy of a Physical Forecast Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)An error analysis technique is applied to determining the relation between the error in calculated meteoro-logical parameters and the observational grid spacing. For a given instrument type the practical lower limit of ... -
Probabilities of Pressure Heights Forecast by Graphical and Numerical Methods
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)A statistical theory developed previously is applied to two prediction techniques: graphical integration of Estoque's baroclinic model and numerical integration of a barotropic model. In both instances, synoptic observations ... -
Statistical Method to Forecast the Movement and the Central Pressure of Typhoons in the Western North Pacific
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Regression equations to forecast the movements and surface pressures of typhoons in the Western North Pacific were developed by the author in a paper at the Inter-Regional Seminar on Tropical Cyclones (Tokyo, 1962). In a ... -
An Adaptive Data Processing System for Weather Forecasting
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)An adaptive pattern classification system termed Adaline is described. This system, when trained on 200 winter sea level pressure and 24-hr pressure change patterns covering the area from 25N to 65N and 110W to 170W, was ... -
The Utilization of Solar Energy in a Multiple-Effect Desalinization System
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The University of Arizona has developed a sea water desalinization system which can economically utilize low temperature solar energy. The system consists of a horizontal plastic-covered solar collector, a packed-tower ... -
The Accuracy of Meteorological Data Required to Support the Testing of a Lifting, Re-entry Vehicle
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The true aerodynamic velocity of a re-entry vehicle is expressed in terms of a relative velocity vector and a wind vector. An error analysis is performed to determine the effect wind errors have on aerodynamic velocity. A ... -
A Study of Launch-Vehicle Responses to Detailed Characteristics of the Wind Profile
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)This paper examines the significance of the detailed variations in the vertical wind profile to launch-vehicle responses. Appreciable advances in the accuracy and the degree of detail obtainable in measurements of the winds ... -
