Description
A climatological analysis of regionally potentially bad air quality days near Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado has been prepared. These bad air quality days are defined as days which have a small volume of atmosphere available for the dilution of contaminants released within the region.

Description
A simple formalism for the diagnostic use of the feedback and static control portions of the theory is presented. The relation of the subgrid scale flux forms and the detrainment forms of the large-scale heat and moisture budgets is also discussed.

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
Recent work has suggested that large amounts of anthropogenic sulfate aerosol reduce riming efficiency in some mixed-phase clouds leading to a decrease in snowfall rate. This study investigates this aerosol effect in the Colorado Park Range for four winter storm cases in February 2005.

Description
The structure of hail-producing and no hail-producing atmosphere is studied by examining rawinsondes launched at New Raymer, Colorado, in the summer of 1967. It is found through examination of mean soundings and the convective condensation level and level of free convection that an ample low-level moisture supply is important for hailstorms to form.
