The seasonal maximum daily rainfall values for the 1871?1970 period at these three large cities in different climates were studied to discern trends. Upward trends of 19?38% were found in the warm season values at all ...

A general assessment of the potential reduction in variance of predicted climatological statistics was made on the supposition that long-term seasonal-to-annual climatic averages are causally predictable. The residual ...

The radar reflectivity factors, the reflectivity-weighted mean terminal velocities (VT), and the standard deviations (σv) of the resulting Doppler spectra, were computed for specified size distributions of rain, dry and ...

The experimental results in Part I are used in the theoretical interpretation of the radiation flux measurements which were taken with an aircraft. The absorption term of the complex refractive index of aerosols is estimated ...

Laboratory experiments showed that the response of the Joss-Waldvogel rainfall disdrometer, a device designed to measure raindrop size from drop impact, was influenced not only by the size and vertical velocity of the drop ...

An analytic expression for the specific heating rate due to solar absorption by nitrogen dioxide is derived by approximating the solar insolation and absorption cross section by simple functions of wavelength. The analytic ...

Extensive aircraft observations of thermodynamical parameters, updrafts, condensation nuclei and turbulence were obtained of an isolated, non-precipitating, stationary cumulus cloud growing over a refinery complex. These ...

A three-dimensional primitive equation model was used to study the St. Louis heat island. In this paper, the influence of synoptic wind speed and wind direction on the heat island is presented. With respect to the synoptic ...

The principle of operation of a wideband crossed-loop magnetic-field direction finder is studied by comparing the bearing determined from the NS and EW magnetic fields at various times up to 155 ?s after return stroke ...
