    • A Simple Fast Response Anemometer 

      Reed, Wilmer H.; Lynch, James W. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Techniques are considered for measuring unsteady ground winds specifically for the purpose of defining inputs for the dynamic load problem encountered by booster vehicles on the launch pad. It is shown that the drag sphere ...

    • Evaporation from Shallow Water and Related Micrometeorological Parameters 

      Fritschen, Leo J.; Van Bavel, C. H. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      During the spring of 1961, experiments were conducted at the U.S. Water Conservation Laboratory, Tempe, Ariz., to measure the magnitude of evaporation and related micrometeorological factors from isolated shallow water and ...

    • The Annual and Diurnal Heat-Exchange Cycles in Upper Layers of Soil 

      Carson, J. E.; Moses, H. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Micrometeorologists have long recognized the role of the heat-storage capacity of the soil in such problems as the occurrence of frost and dew, forecasting of maximum and minimum temperatures, partition of solar energy ...

    • Atmospheric Diffusion Studies Near a Lake Shore 

      Bierly, Eugene W.; Hewson, E. Wendell (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Experiments designed to measure atmospheric diffusion in transitional states have been carried out for several years over the western end of Lake Erie. The concept of diffusion in transitional states, both in general and ...

    • Sr90 Concentration in Precipitation from Convective Showers 

      Kruger, Paul; Hosler, Charles L. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Analysis has been made of seven spring and summer convective showers collected at State College, Pa. The data indicate that the ground-level Sr90 concentration in the precipitation is dependent upon the extent of the ...

    • Radiometersonde Observations of Infrared Flux Emissivity of Water Vapor 

      Kuhn, P. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Employing 211 nocturnal radiometersonde observations of upward upward infrared flux, air temperature, and relative humidity in the atmosphere, the water vapor flux emissivity as a function of optical depth has been determined. ...

    • Origin and Paths of Hurricanes and Tropical Storms Related to Certain Physical Parameters at the Air-Sea Interface 

      Tisdale, Clifton F.; Clapp, Philip F. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Ship weather and sea-temperature observations were used to obtain averaged values of sea and air temperature, dewpoint, windspeed and the transfer of real and latent heat from the sea-surface for a large number of 10-day ...

    • On the Forecasting of Winter Fog: A Geographical Approach 

      Carson, Robe B.; Hardy, Rodney C. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      An urgent forecasting problem is attacked utilizing the hypothesis that parameters relating to operationally significant weather cannot be generalized in space and time, nor in terms of a ?pure physics? abstracted and ...

    • On Objective Analysis of Continuous and Discontinuous Parameters 

      Penn, S.; Kunkel, B.; Mount, W. D. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The problem of analyzing continuous and discontinuous meteorological surface parameters is investigated. Peculiarities of fitting mathematically a first and second degree surface to observational data are investigated from ...

    • Prediction of Large-Scale Cloudiness and Airframe Icing Conditions by Machine Methods 

      Jensen, Clayton E. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      Adiabatic vertical velocities are computed for atmospheric layers and used to modify dewpoint-depression fields in twelve-hourly steps. Horizontal advection of moisture is accommodated by the Jacobian operator with height ...

    • Relationship Between Cloud Base and Initial Radar Echo 

      Battan, Louis J. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The altitudes of the average initial precipitation echoes in convective clouds in Arizona for particular days have been compared with the altitudes of the calculated cloud base. They are found to be positively correlated. ...

    • A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in the Snowy Mountains, Australia 

      Smith, E. J.; Adderley, E. E.; Walsh, D. T. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      A cloud-seeding experiment was conducted in the Snowy Mountains of Australia from 1955?1959 inclusive. The objective was to determine if silver-iodide smoke released from an aircraft into clouds could increase the precipitation ...

    • Twelve Years of Cloud Seeding in the Necaxa Watershed, Mexico 

      Siliceo, E. Perez; Ahumada A., A.; Mosiño, P. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1963)
      The Mexican Light and Power Company has conducted cloud-seeding experiments with silver iodide from 1949 to 1962 (excepting 1952) over the Necaxa watershed and also, during the last 7 years, over the upper Lerma river ...
