Comments on “The Effect of Tropospheric Temperature Lapse Rates on the Ascent Rates of Pilot Balloons”
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)tract -
Numerical Experiments with a Primitive Equation Barotropic Model for the Prediction of Movement of Monsoon Depressions and Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A limited-area primitive equation barotropic model with wind as input has been integrated up to 72 h to predict the movement of a monsoon depression and a tropical cyclone in the Indian region. The forecast up to 48 h is ... -
Compensating for Environmental Variability in the Thermal Inertia Approach to Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A procedure is developed for removing data scatter in the thermal inertia approach to remote sensing of soil moisture that arises from environmental variability in time and space. It entails the utilization of nearby ... -
Statistical Analyses of a Randomized Lightning Modification Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Analyses and interpretations of data from a randomized lightning modification experiment yield strong evidence that AgI seeding of mountain thunderstorms reduces the frequency of lightning and alters several lightning ... -

Comparisons of the Electrostatic Disdrometer with Impactor Slides
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Detailed comparisons of measurements from the electrostatic disdrometer and from soot-coated impactor slides show consistent differences in droplet size distributions determined by the two techniques. The disdrometer-derived ... -
Rainfall Variations as Influenced by Wind and Topography
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Precipitation catch variation as influenced by wind direction and speed, topography and season are examined for the Deer-Sloan Creek watershed, located about 10 mi southeast of Michigan State University, East Lansing. Data ... -
Ice-Bearing Cumulus Cloud Evolution: Numerical Simulation and General Comparison Against Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A two-dimensional (axisymmetric) numerical cloud model with parameterized microphysics for water drops and ice particles is described. The parameterized liquid-phase processes include condensation, evaporation, autoconversion ... -
Photochemical Oxidant Transport: Mesoscale Lake Breeze and Synoptic-Scale Aspects
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Limited ozone monitoring in the Milwaukee area by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1971 revealed surprisingly high values (19 pphm, maximum hourly average) and frequent exceedences of the 8 pphm federal standard. ... -
Measurements of Liquid Water Content in Winter Cloud Systems over the Sierra Nevada
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Investigations of the structure and organization of synoptic-scale storms over the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range during two successive winters (1971?73) were made with a modified B-26 aircraft. Measurements of liquid water ... -
An Improved Continuous Flow Diffusion Cloud Chamber
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A slightly improved version of the continuous flow diffusion cloud chamber which has been described earlier (Hudson and Squires, 1973) has been rotated so that the plates are vertical instead of horizontal, the air flow ... -
A Model for the Transfer of Gaseous Pollutants to a Vegetational Surface
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A model is formulated which predicts the flux of a gaseous pollutant to a vegetational surface provided the surface concentration is known. The effect of canopy structure on the flux is accounted for in terms of height, ... -

Relative Influence of Visible and Infrared Optical Properties of a Stratospheric Aerosol Layer on the Global Climate
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A simple radiative energy balance model has been developed to assess the impact of stratospheric aerosols on the global climate through their effect on the equilibrium global mean surface temperature. With the assumptions ... -
A Classification of the Structure of the Tropical Atmosphere and Related Energy Fluxes
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Meteorological data from the tropics have been classified according to a scheme based on the rate of moist convection obtained indirectly from cloud photos. The degree of convection has been categorized into six modes ... -
The Trade Wind Field Over the Pacific Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)The trade wind field over the Pacific Ocean between 30°N and 30°S has been studied on the basis of five million wind observations made from ships. Data were sorted by quadrangles of 2° latitude and 10° longitude to resolve ... -
A Remote Acoustic Wind Sensor for Airport Approaches
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A Doppler acoustic system was installed on the approach to the Los Angeles International Airport in a demonstration of its capability of remotely measuring wind and wind shear in a real airport environment. The instrument ... -
Seasonal Snow Accumulation, Melt and Water Input—A New England Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Two geographic parameters, elevation and latitude, account for much of the spatial variation of temperature and precipitation over New England during the winter and spring seasons. Since temperature controls the amount of ... -
The Mean Troposphere of West Africa
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)Averages of tropospheric aerological data have been prepared from an 11-year period of monthly records for eight stations in the west African region. Due to the relatively large seasonal climatic variations within the ... -
Nationwide Assessment of Potential Output from Wind-Powered Generators
(American Meteorological Society, 1976)A method of computing power output from wind-powered generators has been developed and applied to estimate potential power output at various sites across the continental United States. The method assumes a wind-powered ...
