A new theoretical study of the migrating diurnal thermal tide was carried out using classical tidal theory and placing particular empahsis upon the response in the tropical troposphere.
The erosion and subsequent mixing to the environment of the updraft of mesoscale convective clouds is examined and modeled as a mechanism for the thermal modification of the cloud environment.
Data from an experiment to measure the upward and downward components of solar radiation from aircraft during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) have been analyzed in the present study.
Characterizes the static environment of middle and upper tropospheric clouds as deduced from rawinsonde data from 24 locations in the contiguous U.S. for 1977.
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.
This study examined horizontal and vertical haze distributions in the troposphere and their possible relationships with the air mass present, surface features present, precipitation, convection, time, and temperature.
In a previous study Reiter and Mahlman (1965a) have estimated the amount of stratospheric air intruding into the stable layer of the jet stream front in a case of cyclogenesis not accompanied by surface radioactive fallout. In the present report the same case is examined on a more general basis. Outflow form, as well as inflow into, the stratosphere is estimated over the entire thickness of the "tropopause gap."
