    • Simultaneous Measurements of Turbulence in the Lower Atmosphere Using Sodar and Aircraft 

      Thomson, D. W.; Coulter, R. L.; Warhaft, Z. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Simultaneous measurements of CT2 and CV2 were made using a calibrated Doppler sodar and a research aircraft equipped with meteorological and turbulence sensors. In each experiment a region of specific interest was identified ...

    • The Number of Significant Proper Functions of Two-Dimensional Fields 

      Buell, C. Eugene (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      The proper functions and values of a two-dimensional field (pollution concentration over St. Louis) were found using the discrete matrix method and a continuous integral equation method. For the matrix case, statistical ...

    • Thermodynamic Properties and Aerosol Patterns in the Plume Downwind of St. Louis 

      Shea, David M.; Auer, August H. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      An instrumented aircraft equipped to measure temperature, humidity, turbulence, Aitken nuclei, and wind speed and direction was used to examine the thermal and aerosol plumes downwind of St. Louis, Mo., for four case studies ...

    • Persistent Horizontal Rolls in the Urban Mixed Layer as Revealed by Dual-Doppler Radar 

      Kropfli, R. A.; Kohn, N. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      The Wave Propagation Laboratory (WPL) dual-Doppler radar system has been used in METROMEX to study the effect of a large urban area (St. Louis) on air motions within the planetary mixing layer during clear conditions. It ...

    • Measurement of Aerosol Particles and Trace Gases in METROMEX 

      Alkezweeny, A. J. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Several experiments were conducted in St. Louis during the METROMEX program to determine the properties and formation of aerosol particles. It was found that the average of several distributions obtained during extended ...

    • Simultaneous Aerosol Size Distribution and Turbidity Measurements over St. Louis during METROMEX 1975 

      Laulainen, N. S.; Alkezweeny, A. J.; Thorp, J. M. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      An experiment designed to measure aerosol size distributions and turbidity simultaneously over a metropolitan area is described. The particle volume size distributions measured in the city plume are found to be bimodal, ...

    • Identification of Aerosol Sources in the St. Louis Area Using Factor Analysis 

      Gatz, Donald F. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Decisions on controlling emissions to reduce atmospheric aerosol concentrations require accurate information on ambient concentrations, composition and sources. This paper shows how filter sampling of ambient aerosols, ...

    • Effects of St. Louis on Convective Cloud Heights 

      Braham, Roscoe R.; Wilson, Daniel (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Heights and locations of the tallest 3 cm radar echoes at each half-hour through the convective parts of 140 summer days were measured during Project METROMEX. Comparison of the area-weighted frequencies of echoes occurring ...

    • Correlation of Land Use and Cover with Meteorological Anomalies 

      Auer, August H. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Aerial reconnaissance of the greater St. Louis area has led to the identification and classification of land use types. The land use classification provides as much compatibility as possible with other classification ...

    • A Study of Urban Effects on Radar First Echoes 

      Braham, Roscoe R.; Dungey, Maureen J. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      The properties of 3 cm radar first echoes are used to study the effects of the St. Louis, Mo., metropolitan area on precipitation initiation in summer convective clouds. Based on a sample of 4553 first echoes, obtained on ...

    • Components of Lead in the Atmosphere of St. Louis, Missouri 

      Pilotte, James O.; Winchester, John W.; Nelson, J. William (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      By means of multiple linear regression analysis of a suite of more than 10 000 concentration measurements, of 14 elements at 11 sampling stations every 2 h over the course of a week in July 1975, Pb was found to be correlated ...

    • The Net Radiation Budget of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area 

      White, John M.; Eaton, Frank D.; Auer, August H. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      Ground and aircraft measurements of the shortwave and longwave radiative components were taken to derive the daily evolution of net radiation, and each of its components, during cloudless summer days in the St. Louis ...

    • Urban Effects on Severe Local Storms at St. Louis 

      Changnon, Stanley A. (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      As part of METROMEX, a five-year study of how St. Louis affects summer weather, studies were made of possible urban effects on severe local storm phenomena. Localized (within 40 km of the city) increases were found in ...

    • Comment on “A Preliminary Analysis of Ocean-Air Interactions Along the West Coast of North America, 1965–1969” 

      Thompson, Rory (American Meteorological Society, 1978)

    • Atmospheric Ice and Water Content Derived from Parameterization of Nimbus 6 High-Resolution Infrared Sounder Data 

      Feddes, Robert G.; Liou, Kuo-Nan (American Meteorological Society, 1978)
      A radiative transfer model of spectral infrared radiation in cloudy atmospheres is applied to the most complete set of radiance observations currently available from the Numbis 6 HIRS instrument. The radiative characteristics ...
