Analog Computing Techniques Applied to Atmospheric Diffusion: Continuous Point Source
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The analog computer has been used to obtain solutions to the diffusion equation for the case of a continuous point source aloft. The basic model used is that of a source located between an inversion and the ground where ... -
Results of Recent Field Programs in Atmospheric Diffusion
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)During the summer of 1959, the Green Glow program, consisting of 26 diffusion experiments during nocturnal inversions, was conducted at the Atomic Energy Commission's Hanford Site near Richland, Wash. The tracer, zinc ... -
Detachment of Gaussian Components from Zig-Zag Curves
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Many zig-zag curves (on probability paper) can be separated into two or more Gaussian components by the method of differences. The procedure yields means and percentages (or frequencies). It is however, subjective and ... -
Recent Temperature and Precipitation Fluctuations along the British Columbia Coast
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Five-year running averages of mean annual temperature and total annual precipitation are shown for selected British Columbia coast stations. Similar averages of mean seasonal and annual temperature and total seasonal and ... -
Mean Distribution of 500-mb Topography and Sea-Level Pressure in Middle and High Latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere during the 1950–59 Decade, January and July
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Circumpolar decadal 500-mb mean maps and data for middle and high latitudes are presented for January and July, 1950?59. These maps are based largely on recent Northern Hemispheric upper-air observations and are superior ... -
Variability Shown by Hourly Wind Soundings
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)The time-lag variability of winds at 3,6,9 and 12 km, observed at approximately 1-hr intervals over Bedford, Mass., during the first week of April 1960 is proportional to the square root of the time lag. The proportionality ... -
Tropical and Subtropical Atmospheres
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Atmospheres typical of the tropics (15N) and subtropics (30N) have been prepared as members of a family of atmospheres, supplemental to the 1962 U.S. Standard Atmosphere; they provide information on latitudinal and seasonal ... -
A Simplified Method of Estimating Extreme Values from Data Samples
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)After a review of the methods, advanced most recently, of estimating extreme values from data samples it is concluded that the straightforward method of moments offers the advantages of stability and simplicity without ... -
Objective Computation of Some Meteorological Quantities
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)This paper describes research in formulating objective weather analysis and forecasting aids for calculation by an electronic computer. Methods based upon single-station techniques for analysis of rawinsoundings are presented ... -
Map-Pattern Classification by Statistical Methods
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Sea-level pressure values at 22 northeastern United States stations were used to describe the map pattern for each of 445 winter days. Each map pattern was correlated with every other map pattern in order to determine ... -
Mesoscale Association of a Low-level Jet Stream with a Squall-Line—Cold-Front Situation
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Wind and temperatures data taken at twelve levels on a television tower near Dallas, Tex., are examined during a squall-line?cold-front situation occurring during the morning hours of 8 May 1961. The observations, supplemented ... -
On the Prediction and Variability of Water Vapor
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Twelve-hour predictions of the mixing ratio and the per cent change in mixing ratio for several pressure surfaces are generated by a trajectory procedure. Inter-level comparisons of the forecasts are made. The mixing ratio ... -
Relation between Leafhopper Influxes and Synoptic Weather Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A study was made of the association of potato leafhopper influxes into Illinois with existing synoptic weather conditions. With data for 25 observed influxes during 1951?59, synoptic weather maps and climatological records ... -
Application of a Moving-Coordinate Prediction Model to East Coast Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A statistically derived procedure for forecasting the 24-hr displacement. change in central pressure, and change in intensity of east coast cyclones is presented. The analysis is based on a moving coordinate system?i.e., ... -
An Investigation of Some Synoptic Capabilities of Atmospheric “Window” Measurements from Satellite TIROS II
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)Several samples of infrared radiation measurements in the 8?13 micron water-vapor ?window? made by TIROS II are studied in relation to conventionally observed information on pressure systems, cloudiness and temperature ... -
Use of Radar Summary Maps for Weather Analysis and Forecasting
(American Meteorological Society, 1963)A study of radar summary maps collected from July to December 1961 shows that the echo areas reported are closely associated with precipitation and that the reported echo intensifies and heights of tops are valuable for ... -
