A linear theory is given for the case of steady thermal convection in a stratified fluid with a general thermal boundary condition at the upper and lower limits of the system. The theory is applied to a number of fluid systems and the results are discussed in terms of the Rayleigh number, the horizontal wave number and the vertical velocity and temperature perturbation profiles in the vertical.
Qunatative [sic] radiance measurements from NASA's ATS-3 geosynchronous satellite have been used to develop and test a statistical forecast method to predict air terminal weather over the very short range (0-6 hours) time period.
During the 1960's experimental and operational meteorological satellites carrying thermistor bolometer sensors were in orbit during about 60 months. Our paper presents a synopsis of results from these measurements.
In order to simulate the climate of an ice age, a two-level, quasi-geostrophic, spectral general circulation model for the northern hemisphere is developed.
The strong horizontal gradients of the kinetic energy spectra in frequency space determined in this study suggest that a regional treatment of the multivariate kinetic energy equation will have to contend with a careful evaluation of boundary flux terms.
Thirty-four years (1936-1969) of daily rainfall occurrence and total amounts for Douala, Cameroun have been analyzed by means of four different techniques, namely: simple Markov chain, depth-duration-frequency, Gumbel extreme value, and variance spectrum.
Observational information from approximately 100 flight missions flown into twenty-one hurricanes on forty-one storm days over a thirteen year period by aircraft of the NOAA's Research Flight Facility is used to present a unified view of the structure, dynamics, and variability of the hurricane's inner core region.
