Book Synopsis An Evaluation of the Smith-Feddes Model by : Robert O. Berthel
Download or read book An Evaluation of the Smith-Feddes Model written by Robert O. Berthel and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model designed to produce estimates of water contents and number density distributions at any time and geographical location was published in 1974. Known by its authors names as the 'Smith-Feddes', this model is initiated by gridded, data-base information from the 3DNEPH (or RTNEPH) and Hemispherical analyses. The Smith-Feddes has been used periodically with mixed results and the implicit assumption has been that new, more definitive cloud physics information would improve the model's consistency which is investigated to develop it into a useful tool for future Air Force planning and operations. The initial phase of this study was essentially an exercise to gain familiarity with both the Smith-Feddes and the initiating analyses. Three weather situations were defined by water content and temperature-versus-altitude profiles derived from aircraft measurements. The model was then exercised for the same situations and the results of the separate analyses were then compared. This report describes this investigation and details our observations and conclusions based on the results of this comparison study. It is recommended that no further time be expended in an effort to improve the 3DNEPH/RTHNEPH, Smith-Feddes model, as it is unable to consistently produce water-content values within reasonable error bounds. However, certain cloud-physics concepts used in the model may be incorporated in a new model specifically designed to produce cloud and precipitation estimates from climatological data.

Book Synopsis Estimates from Satellites of Weather Erosion Parameters for Reentry Systems by : John H. Conover
Download or read book Estimates from Satellites of Weather Erosion Parameters for Reentry Systems written by John H. Conover and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques to estimate reentry vehicle weather erosion parameters from satellite measurements are described. The techniques were developed over a period of three years. An empirical approach was followed with simultaneous measurements of clouds by aircraft and satellite sensors in a series of 41 cases covering a great range of cloud conditions. For each case the aircraft measurements of clouds supplemented by surface weather reports and radar pictures were converted to profiles of hydrometeor densities vs altitude. The erosion parameters predict the amount of material eroded from a nosetip and the range error of the reentry system due to erosion by ice and water particles in the atmosphere. The erosion parameters were related to infrared and visible satellite imagery data from NOAA ITOS satellites by means of non-linear equations. Equations were also developed to estimate total cloud mass and thickness from the same satellite data. Extensive applications and tests were made of the equations to estimate erosion parameters from satellite data.
Book Synopsis Comparison Study of Models Used to Prescribe Hydrometeor Water Content Values by : Russell M. Peirce
Download or read book Comparison Study of Models Used to Prescribe Hydrometeor Water Content Values written by Russell M. Peirce and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the calculation of riometer absorption during several PCA events of particular interest is presented. These calculations are based on earlier work in which an improved effective recombination coefficient was derived and an atmospheric model for (1) each month of the year, (2) day and night, and (3) 60 deg N and 90 deg N latitude was presented. In this report, the calculated values of riometer absorption are presented for 5 PCA events: 2 Nov. 69, 7 Mar. 70, 25 Jan. 71, 2 Sep. 71, and 3 Aug. 72. The calculated values of riometer absorption are compared with experimental values measured for both day and night conditions at Thule, Greenland. An approximate connection between riometer absorption and the square-root of the proton flux for nighttime conditions is presented. This relationship, which has previously been applied only for daytime conditions, is discussed both on a fundamental level and on the level of verification by comparison with experiment. In addition, the basic equation widely used to calculate riometer absorption is compared with the original Sen-Wyller result.

Download or read book Comparison Study of Models Used to Prescribe Hydrometeor Water Content Values written by C. N. Touart and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary study was made of several analytical techniques used to deduce profiles of integrated liquid water content (LWC). Comparison was made with aircraft and/or radar measurements for two sets of cases in order to determine if one or more of the modeling techniques would consistently yield more representative values than the others over a period of time. A brief description of the techniques used and the results of the statistical analyses applied to this study are presented. Also, a comparison of the integrated LWC for each case at the 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 kilometer and surface levels is presented in tabular form.

Book Synopsis Assessment of Non-Point Source Pollution in the Vadose Zone by : Dennis L. Corwin
Download or read book Assessment of Non-Point Source Pollution in the Vadose Zone written by Dennis L. Corwin and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1999-01-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 108. Non-point source (NPS) pollution in the vadose zone (simply defined as the layer of soil extending from the soil surface to the groundwater table) is a global environmental problem. Characteristically, NPS pollutants are widespread and occasionally ubiquitous in extent, thus making remediation efforts difficult and complex; have the potential for maintaining a relatively long active presence in the global ecosystem; and may result in long?]term, chronic health effects in humans and other life forms. Similar to other global environmental issues, the knowledge and information required to address the problem of NPS pollutants in the vadose zone cross several technological and subdisciplinary lines: spatial statistics, geographic information systems (GIS), hydrology, soil science, and remote sensing. Cooperation between disciplines and scientific societies is essential to address the problem. Evidence of such cooperation was the jointly sponsored American Geophysical Union Chapman/Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) Outreach Conference that occurred in October 1997, entitled “Applications of GIS, Remote Sensing, Geostatistics, and Solute Transport Modeling to the Assessment of Non-Point Source Pollution in the Vadose Zone.” The objective of the conference and this book, which was developed from the conference, was to explore current multidisciplinary research for assessing NPS pollution in soil and groundwater resources.
