Influence of Cirrus Clouds on the Infrared Cooling Rate in the Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The impact of high-level cirrus clouds upon the infrared cooling rate of the troposphere and lower stratosphere is investigated in this study. Band-by-band infrared cooling rate calculations are carried out for all the ... -
A Puff-on-Cell Model for Computing Pollutant Transport and Diffusion
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)A scheme is developed to minimize the pseudo-diffusion which arises in numerical solutions of finite-difference equations of turbulent diffusion and transport. In the present model, the subgrid scale distribution of the ... -
A Comparison of Diffusion from a Small Island and an Undisturbed Ocean Site
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Experiments were conducted to investigate the differences in diffusion from an obstacle to free air flow in the ocean and from an undisturbed ocean site. A small island was used as the obstacle and simultaneous releases ... -
Rainfall Fields in Israel and Jordan and the Effect of Cloud Seeding on Them
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Spatial correlation functions of daily rainfall were derived separately for various parts of the study area and for unseeded and seeded days. The structure of respective rainfall fields was studied by means of the relationship ... -
Determining Height of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Theories and formulations for determining heights of the stable atmospheric boundary layer are reviewed. The performance of prognostic and diagnostic equations for parameterizing the nocturnal boundary layer heights are ... -
Development of the Thermal Mixing Layer over Water and Heated Land: A Laboratory Simulation
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The mechanism of energy exchange of a flow regime moving from water to heated land was studied in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The experiment was set up in a long wind-water channel. A hot plate simulating ... -
Air-Truth Lidar Polarization Studies of Orographic Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)The results of a field program of coordinated lidar and aircraft observations of orographically induced clouds are reported. An evaluation of polarization diversity lidar for cloud physics research applications on the basis ... -
The Practicability of Dry Ice for On-Top Seeding of Convective Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Dry ice is shown to be an attractive agent for on-top seeding of convective clouds. A modest payload of small dry ice pellets can effectively seed dozens of clouds, depending on cloud volumes encountered and crystal ... -
Microprobe Analysis of Project DUSTORM Hailstone Samples
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Electron microproble X-ray analysis was used to determine the origin and composition of particulate matter found in hailstones produced during severe storms in the midwestern and central United States. Ratios of aluminum, ... -
Comparison of Simultaneous Tethered Balloon and Monostatic Acoustic Sounder Records of the Statically Stable Lower Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Simultaneous soundings of the lower atmosphere using a monostatic acoustic sounder and tethered balloonborne sensors are compared. Within the coincident range (40?350 m) of the two sounding systems a good agreement between ... -
Ray Tracing of Gravity Waves as a Possible Warning System for Tornadic Storms and Hurricanes
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)Gravity waves with wave periods of 13 to 15 min and horizontal phase velocities of 90 to 220 m s?1 were present in ground-based observations of the upper atmosphere during time periods when tornadoes were occurring and ... -
Optimal Sampling and Analysis Using Two Variables and Modeled Cross-Covariance Functions
(American Meteorological Society, 1978)An objective analysis technique of the Eddy-Gandin type is discussed which permits the analysis and investigation of multivariate as well as univariate data sets. A multivariate data configuration consisting of raingage/radar ... -

Lidar Observations of the Convective Boundary Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1977)A scanning lidar system has been used to observe convection in the atmospheric boundary layer. In particular, cell sizes and geometry have been determined and circulation patterns in and around the cells have been measured. ... -
Weibull Distribution, Iterative Likelihood Techniques and Hydrometeorological Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1977)Rapidly converging maximum likelihood procedures for estimating and testing Weibull distribution parameters are presented, together with numerical examples of their applications. Goodness-of-fit comparisons based on nine ... -
Corrections to “Infrared Radiative Transfer in Polluted Atmospheres”

Pattern Recognition Studies in Acoustic Sounding
(American Meteorological Society, 1977)A pattern recognition scheme has been developed for the climatological interpretation of monostatic acoustic sounder facsimile records. -
Path- and Area-Integrated Rainfall Measurement by Microwave Attenuation in the 1–3 cm Band
(American Meteorological Society, 1977)The reasons for the linear relationship between microwave attenuation A and rainfall rate R near 1 cm wavelength are explained. This linearity also implies independence of the A-R relationship from the drop size distribution ... -
Doppler Radar Relationships for Hail at Vertical Incidence
(American Meteorological Society, 1977)Relationships are derived which can be used in the analysis of Doppler radar spectra of hail at vertical incidence to find storm updrafts and hailstone size distribution parameters. It is assumed that the hail is spherical ...
