Description
The feasibility of using a photodiode radiometer to infer optical depth of thin clouds from solar intensity measurements was examined. Analysis of the case study results indicates that the photodiode radiometer can be used effectively to determine the optical depth of thin clouds.

Description
Data acquired during the 1972 Venezuelan International Meteorological and Hydrological Experiment is used to study the thermodynamic structure of the cumulus sub-cloud layer: its time dependence, and transformation by precipitation. A close relationship between lifting condensation level (LCL) and cloud base, and between LCL and the transition layer is found.

Description
Geosynchronous satellite data were employed for a climatological study of two summers' data and for a specific case study to observe convective interactions between the eastern slopes of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas.

Description
The results indicate that the presence of extensive low-level decoupled flow does indeed cause part of the orographic lift of the mountain barrier to be experienced upstream of the barrier. This changes the location of condensate production which in turn shifts precipitation upstream.

Description
A case study of the 26-27 June 1985 PRE-STORM Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) is presented. The system was analyzed using the dense surface and upper-air observations available from the PRE-STORM field program.

Description
Two well documented cases of tradewind disturbances are studied. One disturbance developed into Hurricane Carla (1961) while the other failed to intensify. Initially the two cases appeared to be very similar but on closer inspection the flow patterns in which the disturbances were embedded proved to have significant differences. This paper describes these differences.

Description
A persistent feature of the atmosphere over the eastern portions of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is the existence of broad areas of stratocumulus convection. These stratocumulus regimes lie to the east of the large semi-permanent subtropical high pressure centers.
