Anemometer Pulse Stretching
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Pulse stretching, to increase the maximum speed of dependable response of many contacting anemometer-sensor combinations is outlined, with summary theory, extant equipment references, and circuitry of a minimal pulse ... -
Frequency of Clouds in Height Layers for Berlin (Tempelhof)
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)This article investigates the feasibility of establishing charts of frequency occurrence of clouds within given height layers from tabulations of cloud base frequencies. The general method is described and simplification ... -
Relation between Solar Radiation Income and Cloud Type in the Arctic
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Cloud amount and duration of sunshine are generally used to estimate direct and diffuse solar radiation income at the ground, where radiation instruments are not available. This method has serious drawbacks and a consideration ... -
A Comparison of Simultaneous Aircraft and Surface Cloud Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Many operations require a knowledge of the current or future cloud cover. Consequently, the question of the accuracy of surface cloud reports has frequently arisen. The following study, based on a comparison of a, series ... -
Distance to Lightning Strokes as Determined from Electrostatic Field Strength Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Determination of distance to lightning strokes by measuring amplitude of electrostatic field jumps is discussed. Measurements by the author show that the amplitudes of lightning strokes have a log-normal probability ... -
The Prediction of Anomalous Blast Areas for the 100–Ton Suffield Explosion
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A description is given of the method used at the Suffield Experimental Station, Alberta, for the prediction of anomalous blast areas for the 100-ton explosion of 3 August 1961. Some indication is given of the change that ... -
Comparison of Methods for Determining Probable Impact Areas in Planning Short Range Instrumented Balloon Flights
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Circular normal and elliptical normal wind distributions weighted for ascent and descent time as well as flight level time are compared with the distributions when weighted only at the flight level of the balloon. Durations ... -
Computations from Elliptical Wind Distribution Statistics
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A knowledge of winds and their distribution may be used to our advantage, for winds play an important part in all phases of our life. Winds are three dimensional but for most purposes they are considered only in their two ... -
Numerical Integration of Primitive Equations by a Quasi-Lagrangian Advective Scheme
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A quasi-Lagrangian advective scheme for numerical integration of primitive equations is proposed. The advective scheme is built on a successive approximation procedure where the Fj?rtoft-type of quasi-Lagrangian advection ... -
Computed Probabilities of 500-mb Heights Predicted by Graphical Integrations of a Barotropic Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A statistical theory developed previously is applied to graphical predictions of the 500-mb surface, using a barotropic model. Synoptic observations are regarded as samplings of the initial state. Probabilities of initial ... -
Some Applications of Meteorological Probabilities
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Selected definitions of probability are used as a basis to determine the versatility of meteorological probabilities in operational planning from unbroken weather data. A technique which employs their application with ... -
Condensed Water in the Free Atmosphere in Air Colder than −40C
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Observations of atmospheric clouds formed by hot springs and geysers were made at Yellowstone Park in the wintertime with free atmospheric temperatures warmer and colder than ?40C. Despite careful observations, no evidence ... -
A Lake Breeze Index
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Since the mathematical equations describing the lake breeze phenomenon are too complex to yield exact solutions, approximation techniques are often used. To obtain the important parameters upon which the solutions depend, ... -
Eddy-Flux Measurements over a Small, Irrigated Area
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)During the summer of 1961, the vertical transfer of water vapor and sensible heat was determined at a height of 4 m over an irrigated field at Davis, Calif. Simultaneous determinations of evaporation at the surface were ... -
The Measurement of Vertical Gradients near the Ground
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Vertical gradients are usually calculated by a finite-difference approximation, where the level of interest is midway between the levels at which measurements are made. When this approach is used, considerable error may ... -
Analog Computing Techniques Applied to Atmospheric Diffusion: Continuous Line Source
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)The partial differential equation which describes steady-state diffusion from an infinite line source is replaced with a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equations solved on an electronic analog computer. One space ...
