Electronic Integrator for Micrometeorological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)A transistorized, battery-operated integrator suitable for obtaining the time average of fluctuating electrical analogue signals in the field with relative errors of about 0.1 to 0.2 per cent is described. A solid state ... -
Direct-Flow Filter Sampler: An Improved Large-Volume Collector of Radioactive Stratospheric Debris
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The Direct-Flow Sampler is an improved balloon-borne device designed to collect particulate matter from very large volumes of stratospheric air at altitudes between 50,000 and 100,000 ft. This equipment utilizes a high-volume ... -
Response Characteristics and Meteorological Utilization of Propeller and Vane Wind Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The fundamentals of step and sinusoidal gust responses for propellers and vanes are considered, and methods and graphs are given for obtaining sensor characteristics from simple wind tunnel tests. Formulas are derived for ... -
Sky Radiation Measurement and Corrections
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)This paper presents data for constructing a shading device for a sky radiation recording station in any latitude up to 65 deg. In addition, tables are prepared for correcting the recorded radiation in order to obtain a ... -
Hourly Variability of Density at Radiosonde Heights
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Estimates of the root mean square change in density at 1, 7, 12, 18, and 25 km are presented for lags of one through 24 hours. The lag variability at all of the heights considered increased with an increase in time. The ... -
Evaluation of Precipitation Measurements with the WSR-57 Weather Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Quantitative data collected with the WSR-57 radar at Atlantic City from five rainstorms and two snow-storms are compared with precipitation data from 60 recording rain gages within 100 mi of the radar. Hourly rainfall ... -
The Relation of Wind and Pressure to Extratropical Storm Surges at Atlantic City
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The relationship of certain meteorological parameters to the extratropical storm surge is investigated empirically. Multiple regression equations are determined which relate the onshore wind components, along-shore wind ... -
On Convection Bands Within Pacific Coast Storms and Their Relation to Storm Structure
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)Pacific storms entering Southern California have been intensely sampled and subjected to detailed investigation through a storm study program in the Santa Barbara area during the 1960?63 (inclusive) winter storm seasons. ... -
The Critical Richardson Number and Its Implications for Forecast Problems
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)It is shown that, in the lowest few hundred meters, nighttime inversions tend to break down due to onset of turbulence when the Richardson number falls between 0.2 and 0.5. Since the Richardson number is statistically ... -
The Evaluation of Several Cyclone Prediction Techniques
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)A comparison is made of several schemes for making predictions of the location and intensity of cyclones. One scheme (due to K. W. Veigas and F. P. Ostby) is based on a linear model developed by a stepwise regression ... -
A Statistical Approach to the Short-Period Prediction of Surface Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)The screening-multiple-regression technique is applied to predicting surface u- and v-wind components at Idlewild International Airport for periods of 2, 3, 5 and 7 hr. The predictors are variables from 11 synoptic stations, ... -
An Automated Procedure for Forecasting Clear-Air Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 1964)A computer program was written to obtain several parameters which have been useful in identifying clear-air turbulence (hereafter referred to as CAT) from upper-air data. These are: vertical and horizontal wind shear, ... -
