Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

401 MHz transistorised radiosonde transmitter
This paper describes a transistorised radiosonde transmitter which was designed to replace valve version earlier used in national upper air l1etwork for upper air data acquisition. The transmitter operates in 400.6-406 MHz frequency band (tunable) with 500 mill watt power output utilising a 22.5V water activated battery, Stripling technique has been ...

Abstract Fairbanks, Alaska is an example of a subarctic city that experiences severe wintertime air quality episodes characterized by high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2 = NOx). Previous research into these air quality episodes has focused on the impact of surface‐based inversions that trap local ...

Miniaturized atmospheric ionization detector [PDF]
A small scintillator-based detector for atmospheric ionization measurements has been developed, partly in response to a need for better ionization data in the weather-forming regions of the atmosphere and partly with the intention of producing a ...

Systematic differences between radiosonde instruments [PDF]
Deviations of radiosonde geopotential heights from the zonal mean are examined. In the summer Northern Hemisphere stratosphere, systematic differences are found between radiosonde instrument types. Persistent meridional wind anomalies, approximately constant in magnitude and fixed in location, have previously been reported in the summer stratosphere ...

A comparison between Nimbus 5 THIR and ITPR temperatures and derived winds with rawinsonde data obtained in the AVE 2 experiment [PDF]
During the period of May 11 and 12, 1974, NASA conducted its second Atmospheric Variability Experiment (AVE II) over the eastern United States. In this time interval, two Nimbus 5 orbits crossed the AVE II area, providing a series of ITPR soundings as ...
