Space Correlations of the Height of Constant Pressure Surfaces
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)No abstract available. -
A High-Speed Weather Information Distribution System
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A high-speed communication system has been developed for the distribution of weather information. The system functions through the use of standard telephone circuits at speeds of 1500 and 2400 bits-per-second in a ... -
Visual Resolution and Optical Scintillation in Stable Stratification over Snow
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The effects of turbulent fluctuations of atmospheric density are seen as rapid changes in the brightness of a distant light source (scintillation) and in the position and size of distant objects (shimmer). The results of ... -
Experiments in Predicting Sea-Level Pressure Changes for Periods of Less Than Twelve Hours
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Predictions of sea-level pressure changes for periods of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 11 hr were prepared employing analogues and many different linear regression equations. The equations were derived on a sample of 445 days and ... -
Statistical Prediction Methods for North American Anticyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Statistical prediction methods of forecasting the 24-hr movement and change of central pressure of North American winter anticyclones are developed utilizing multiple linear regression analysis. The three predictands ... -
Severe Storm Clouds as Seen from TIROS
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Comparisons of TIROS-viewed severe storm clouds are made with radar, sferics, and surface cloud and weather observations. Where available, the radar and sferics observations show an excellent correlation with the storm-producing ... -
Some Measurements of Snow Pellet Bulk-Densities
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)In-cloud collections of snow and ice pellets in summer cumulus clouds have been made on Project White-top. These collections provided an opportunity for measuring the bulk densities of 129 snow pellets and ice pellets. ... -
On the Effect of Explosion Waves on Hailstone Models
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Hollow spheres filled with ethylenedichloride and snowballs of low mechanical cohesion drenched in water were exposed to blast waves. They did not show any effect that could be attributed to the explosion of 1 kg TNT at ... -
An Experiment on Fog Dispersion by the Use of Downward Air Current Caused by the Fall of Water Drops
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)In July 1961 an artificial fog dissipation experiment was carried out, using a helicopter. The experiment was based on the idea that fog will be dissipated by downward air current caused by fall of water drops sprinkled ... -
Mountain Temperatures in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States during Late Spring and Early Summer
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The distribution of dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures was studied in the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee-North Carolina, and in the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona. Statistical analysis by regression methods showed that ... -
Some Turbulence and Wind Variability Observations in the Lee of Mountain Ridges
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A field of turbulence and space and time wind variability in the lee of a ridge line is observed with double theodolite wind data. It is shown that the most turbulent areas occur above the lee slope and are associated with ... -
An Inexpensive Rocket Technique for Obtaining Low Level Wind Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)An inexpensive, reusable, cold propellant (no fire) rocket has been adapted so a continuous smoke stream is emitted from the instant of launching to an altitude of 1200 ft. The smoke column is photographed simultaneously ... -
Airflow over a City in Terrain of Moderate Relief
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Meteorological data from a network set up to study local air pollution problems were used to study local air flow patterns at Louisville, Ky., an urban area located in a region of relatively minor topographic features. ... -
A Reappraisal of Sutton's Parameter n
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)From dimensional arguments Sutton in 1932 proposed a power law form for the Lagrangian autocorrelation, R(?). The resulting diffusion equations have been widely used. There have been very few experimental determinations ... -
A Meteorologically Operated Stack Control System
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The standard deviation of wind direction and the mean wind speed have been incorporated in to a system for controlling the release of radioactive gaseous wastes from the 200-ft stack of the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant. ... -

Note on the Structure of the Stratospheric Easterlies of Midlatitude
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)tract -
Estimate of the Hydrologic Results of Rainfall Augmentation

A Study of the Quality of Sea Water Temperatures Reported in Logs of Ships' Weather Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The differences between sea water temperature reported in the Log of Ship's Weather Observations and specially observed sea surface temperature were studied for 6826 pairs of observations taken in the Pacific Ocean from 3 ...
