Dependence of Air Quality in a Remote Location on Local and Mesoscale Transports: A Case Study
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The results of a field study utilizing ground-based and aircraft measurements of meteorological parameters and several air pollutants are described for two summer periods in the vicinity of Yosemite National Park, California. ... -
Highway Modeling. Part II: Advection and Diffusion of SF6 Tracer Gas
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A finite-difference highway model is presented which uses surface layer similarity theory and a vehicle wake theory to determine the atmospheric structure along a roadway. Surface similarity is used to determine the wind ... -
Turbulence under Conditions of Sensible Heat Advection
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Thermal inversions induced by regional advection dominate the daytime climate of the central Great Plains during much of the growing season. The influence of these inversions on the turbulent transfer of momentum, sensible ... -
Highway Modeling. Part I: Prediction of Velocity and Turbulence Fields in the Wake of Vehicles
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A theory for the velocity deficit in the wake of a moving vehicle in still air is derived from a perturbation analysis of the equations of motion. By suitable assumptions, expressions are found for the turbulent energy ... -
Comments on “Determining Height of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer”
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)No abstract available. -
Aitken Particle and Cloud Condensation Nucleus Fluxes in the Plume from an Isolated Industrial Source
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Measurements in the plume from an isolated copper and lead smelting operation in northeastern Australia have been made from an aircraft to a distance of 560 km from the source. The aim was to gain information on the ... -
On the Reliability of the Parameterization of Microphysics in Fog Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The relationships between the mean terminal speed of fog droplets (vE) and the liquid water content (W), and between the integral volume droplet absorption coefficient (σE) and W, have been examined on the basis of 107 ... -

A Real-Time Satellite Data Acquisition, Analysis and Display System—A Practical Application of the GOES Network
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A real-time satellite data acquisition, analysis and display system is described which uses analog data transmitted by telephone line over the GOES network. Results are displayed on the system color video monitor as ?thermal? ... -
Upwind Distortion Due to Probe Support in Boundary-Layer Observation
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)An obstacle in a boundary-layer flow creates a disturbance upwind of the obstacle, consisting of a stationary vortex extending downstream on both sides of the obstacle. This flow disturbance may interfere with observation ... -
Frequency Response of the CSIRO Liquid Water Probe
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)A recent treatment of the dynamic behavior of anemometer hot wires is simplified and used to show that the response of the CSIRO liquid-water hot wire can be described by a second-order differential equation. This is ... -
Some Comments on the “Turbulent Exchange Coefficients for Sensible Heat and Water Vapor under Advective Conditions”

Characteristics of Turbulence and Dispersion of Pollutants Near Major Highways
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of traffic on the turbulence structure and to infer the time and space scales of the eddies generated by the traffic. To this end, time series of wind and temperature ... -
Characteristics of Oklahoma Hailfalls and Hailstorms
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Data on point and areal (100?8100 km2) surface hailfall characteristics are presented for Oklahoma. Data analysis shows Oklahoma experiences a larger mean hailstone per occurrence than South Africa and a larger mean hailfall ... -
Precipitation Scavenging of Urban Pollutants by Convective Storm Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)During the summer periods of 1972 and 1973 a precipitation chemistry network for the analysis of rainborne urban pollutants was operated in a region surrounding the St. Louis metropolitan area. The purposes of this network ... -
Structure of Turbulence over Water during High Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1979)Turbulence fluctuations over water are found to change for wind speeds more than 10?12 m s?1. Increase in turbulence level beyond this critical wind speed may be attributed to the formation of helical roll vortices. Integral ...
