Relation Between the St. Louis Urban Precipitation Anomaly and Synoptic Weather Factors
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The summer (June?August) rainfall distribution on the METROMEX network was analyzed to determine the synoptic conditions during which the urban-industrial regions of St. Louis affect the precipitation process. The rainfall ... -
Intraregional Variations of Solar Radiation in the Eastern United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Data generated by a physically based solar radiation model, consisting of hourly values of total and direct-beam solar radiation, were computed at nearly 50 stations in the United States for the years 1971 and 1972. The ... -
The Response of Spring Wheat Yield to Anomalous Climate Sequences in the United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The response of spring wheat yield to anomalous climate sequences in the United States is estimated using monthly mean temperature and total precipitation for the years 1932 to 1971. A particular anomaly sequence, which ... -
Climatology of Instantaneous Rainfall Rates
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Raingage records from four climatic zones (maritime subtropical, continental temperate, maritime temperate and midlatitude interior) were analyzed to study instantaneous rainfall rates as defined by 1 and 4 min accumulations. ... -

Principal Components Analysis of Vector Wind Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The method of principal components analysis (also known as empirical eigenvector analysis) was generalized to the treatment of vector fields of data and applied to a 12-month record of mean hourly wind velocities from 10 ... -
A Simple Model for Shallow Lake Evaporation
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)By combining the empirical model of Priestley and Taylor (1972) and the well-known Penman equation, a simple expression is obtained for evaporation from a shallow lake. This model is tested for a large lake in the Netherlands ... -

Observations of Vortices in Cooling Tower Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Time-lapse photography was used to estimate the speed of vortices in condensed plumes from a bank of mechanical draft cooling towers and a hyperbolic natural draft cooling tower. At a distance of about 30 m downwind from ... -
Comments on “An Analysis of a Possible Crop Response to Hail Suppression Seeding: The Nelspruit Hail Suppression Project”

Electronic Conversion from a Scanning Radiometer to a Stereographic Projection Geometry
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Nongeometrically corrected scanning radiometer images are difficult to interpret due to their non-congruence with the standardized weather charts. If subsatellite positions at given times are known (e.g., from APT predicts ... -
A Technique for Obtaining Detailed Wind Fields in a Frontal System from a Single-Doppler Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)A technique is described for obtaining detailed horizontal winds in a ?two-dimensional,? steady-state frontal system from a single-Doppler radar. Measurements obtained from this technique in a cold frontal system are presented. -
Measurement of Net Radiation from Shipboard Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)A new method for the measurement of the net flux of radiation from shipborne sensors is described. In this method two matched Funk net pyrradiometers are mounted, one on each side of the ship. Each sensor is gimbal mounted ... -
Discussion of the Interpretation Problem Encountered in Single-Wavelength Lidar Transmissometers
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The inadequacies in applying the ?ratio? and ?slope? methods to the interpretation of lidar return signals from inhomogeneous atmospheric dispersions in terms of the attenuation coefficient and atmospheric visibility are ... -
Shapes of Raindrop Size Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The ?instant? shape of raindrop size distributions (measured during 1 min or less) usually differs from the exponential, generally in the direction of monodispersity. Experimental results are presented for both widespread ... -
An Extended Kalman-Bucy Filter for Atmospheric Temperature Profile Retrieval with a Passive Microwave Sounder
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)An extended Kalman-Bucy filter has been implemented for atmospheric temperature profile retrievals from observations made using the Scanned Microwave Spectrometer (SCAMS) instrument carried on the Nimbus 6 satellite. This ...
