A Preliminary Investigation of Radiative Heat Exchange Between the Ocean and the Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Quantitative estimates of the exchange of heat by radiation between the earth's surface and the atmosphere have been provided for the North Atlantic region during a representative winter season (1956?57). The evacuations ... -
Wind and Temperature Variations during Development of a Low-Level Jet
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The 1428-lt television transmitter tower, located at Cedar Hill, Texas, and instrumented to obtain continuous measurements of wind and temperature at 12 levels from 30 ft to 1420 ft above ground, is proving to be a useful ... -
The Vertical Temperature Distribution and the Layer of Minimum Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Seven years of temperature observations from Cape Canaveral, Florida, are used for a detailed examination of the vertical temperature structure. In the troposphere, temperature variations increase with time; in the ... -
Mesospheric Density Variability Based on Recent Meteorological Rocket Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Seasonal and latitudinal variability of density between 30 and 68 km is presented. These data have been derived from direct temperature and height measurements made with meteorological rockets fired at White Sands Missile ... -
The Diurnal Variation of Ground Temperature as Measured from TIROS II
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)TIROS II measured the emission from the planet Earth in the atmospheric water-vapor window near 10 microns. During carefully selected times, when no clouds were present near sunrise or near noon, the measurements served ... -
Application of Two-Dimensional Spectral Analysis to the Quantification of Satellite Cloud Photographs
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Pictures from TIROS have revealed that cumuliform clouds over the ocean quite often occur in the form of a complex pattern with lines and cells of horizontal dimensions in the range of 20 to 100 miles and with various ... -
An Analysis of the 500-mb and Surface Prognoses Issued by the National Meteorological Center During the March Storm of 1962
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)An attempt is made to shed light on the mid-tropospheric and low-level developments during the period of the east coast storm of March 1962 by using of synoptic analysis and the operational forecasts of the National ... -
The Relation Between Soil Moisture and Incidence of Disease in Cacao
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The soil moisture status at a cacao estate in Trinidad, W.I., has been estimated by a climatological method for six years. A relation (r = ?0.76**) between the logarithm of the monthly number of disused pods and the moisture ... -
Radioactive Fallout in California During the Winter 1961–2
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Collections of nuclear debris in dry and precipitation fallout samples were made during the winter 1961?2 at Palo Alto and Santa Barbara, Calif., following resumption of nuclear testing by the USSR. The samples were ... -
Hemispheric Investigation of Warm Rain by Radiosonde Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Warm rains at 62 stations in the northern hemisphere for a period of one year were examined geographically, seasonally and from other points of view by radiosonde data. The examination disclosed that warm rain fell more ... -
A Program for the Assembly and Display of Radar-Echo Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The great information-processing capacity of modern digital computers is used to assemble radar data in a form suitable for its application to weather analysis and forecasting studies and for investigation of the data's ... -
Automatic Digital Radar Reflectivity Analysis of a Tornadic Storm
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The advantages of a new radar digital processing device (called STRADAP) are demonstrated by a case study of the tornado storm which struck Charlton, Mass., on 12 October 1962. STRADAP furnishes patterns of echo height and ... -
The Detection of Silver in Rain Water from Cloud Seeding Experiments in Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A technique is being developed for detecting silver in very low concentrations in water. It is effective down to concentrations of 5 ? 10?11 gm ml?l. The method involves collecting and concentrating the silver ions on an ... -
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in South Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A cloud-seeding experiment was conducted in South Australia from 1957 to 1959 inclusive in which clouds over one of two areas were seeded with silver-iodide smoke released from an aircraft, with random choice of area. No ... -
The Use of Asphalt Coatings to Increase Rainfall
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Calculations are presented which suggest that useful amounts of rainfall might be produced economically in and regions near seas or lakes. The proposed technique involves the coating of a large area with asphalt to produce ... -
Tropical Rain Induced by a Small Natural Heat Source
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The possibility of rainfall enhancement by asphalt ground coatings is analysed by means of observations of natural cloud formations over the small flat island of Anegada. Anegada is comparable in size to the contemplated ...
