      tract

    • Proposed Aerodetic Units of Length 

      Bellamy, John C. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      It is proposed that units of length called nautical spans, chains and feet?and defined respectively to be 60, 1/60 and 1/6,000 nautical miles in length?be adopted internationally for use in weather-service and aeronautical ...

    • The Radiative Effectiveness of Plastic Films for Greenhouses 

      Hanson, Kirby J. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The spectral transmission properties of glass, polyester film, polyvinyl-fluoride film, polystyrene film and polyethylene film are presented, based on laboratory determined spectrograms and field measurements of atmospheric ...

    • Estimates of Pan Evaporation from Mean Maximum Temperature and Vapor Pressure 

      Fitzpatrick, Eugene A. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      An equation for estimating pan evaporation has been derived by regression analysis from climatic data of a number of widely separated stations in Australia. The required data are mean maximum temperature, mean vapor pressure, ...

    • Surface Dew Point and Water Vapor Aloft 

      Reitan, Clayton H. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Mean monthly values of precipitable water were related to mean monthly values of surface dew point for 15 stations distributed over the continental United States. The degree of relationship was excellent, and a regression ...

    • TIROS II Window Radiation and Large Scale Vertical Motion 

      Shenk, William E. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The difference between observed window radiation and radiation expected without clouds was related to various synoptic parameter. The but correlation, 0.72, was obtained with vertical motion computed by the adiabatic methods ...

    • Frequency Distributions of Shower Sizes 

      Dennis, A. S.; Fernald, F. G. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The number per unit area of radar echoes from isolated showers, as a function of echo radius r, is found by analysis of data from several localities to he proportional to exp (??r), where ? varies with time and place ...

    • Hailstorms of the Upper Great Plains of the United States 

      Frisby, E. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The paper presents results of a series of studies of Upper Midwest hailstroms made between 1957 and 1962. It discusses hailstorm frequency, incidence, origins and formation in the Upper Great Plains of the United States, ...

    • Machine Reduction of Anemometer-Bivane Data 

      Brock, Fred V. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      An analog computer has been programmed to process anemometer-bivane data recorded on magnetic tape. The recorded data were the wind vector in spherical coordinates, azimuth angle, elevation angle and wind speed. The computer ...

    • Examination of a Wind Profile Proposed by Swinbank 

      Barad, Morton L. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Micrometeorological measurements made during Project Prairie Grass have been used in an examination of a theoretical model proposed by Swinbank to describe wind speed profiles in the lower portion of the atmospheric boundary ...

    • The Application of an Elevated Line Source Diffusion Formula 

      Waldron, Albert W. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      A series of nighttime elevated line source diffusion trials conducted in Texas during 1961 is used to evaluate the adequacy of a current diffusion equation model and to define the turbulent layer within which such a model ...

    • A Series of Sea Breeze Observations in the New York City Area 

      Frizzola, John A.; Fisher, Edwin L. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      A series of pilot balloon observations has provided data for the analysis of vertical cross-sections of the wind field in the lowest 3500 ft of the atmosphere during three an breeze situations in the New York City area. ...

    • Observations of Atmospheric Structure During Summer in a Coastal Mountain Basin in Northwest Oregon 

      Lowry, William P. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      During 53 days in the summer of 1966 continuous hygrothermograph records were obtained at 6 points along a north-south transect of the 11-km wide Valsetz Basin in the Oregon Coast Range. The 6 records sampled both north ...

    • Modification of the Marine Layer over Coastal Southern California 

      Edinger, James G. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The modification and eventual destruction of the marine layer by heating from below is documented by measuring the temperature and humidity fields in a vertical section from the coast of Southern California inland along ...

    • A Case Study of Radioactive Fallout 

      Reiter, Elmar R. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      During September 1961 a series of balloon ascents made from Flin Flon, Canada, carrying scintillation counters sensitive to gamma radiation, revealed the existence of shallow stable atmospheric layers carrying radioactive ...
