Analysis of downward-directed infrared irradiances measured in the lower stratosphere indicated that reasonable limits on the gaseous components of the atmosphere were not able to account for the irradiances observed between 14 and 24 km.
A practical manual for training and reference use of USAF weather forecasters who will work in the tropics, it covers basic facts of climatology, circulation, synoptic models, analysis and forecasting, application throughout the tropics.
The report gives a detailed description of the different steps in the processing of 'drift' data taken with the Complex Amplitude Multifrequency Scanner (CAMS).
An exact time-independent solution for the motion of the atmosphere about the earth, which is taken to be spheroidal, is given under the assumption that the temperature of the atmosphere is a function of the radius only.
This paper reviews the estimates to date of the vertical 'effective diffusion coefficient' for stratospheric small scale turbulence transport, KB. These estimates range (in order of magnitude) from 1.0 sq. meter/s to 0.01 sq. meter/s, that ...
There are many theories of the large-scale circulation of the sun. Fundamental to many of these is a meridional cell which transports momentum between the pole and equator.
