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.

Description
It is shown that a general class of nonlinear partial differential equations -- including those frequently used in predicting atmospheric motions -- can be converted to computational form by either the "finite difference" or "spectral" method to yield formally identical equations.

Description
A computer simulation has been developed to optimize the use of the aircraft platform for the measurement of short wave irradiances. This model simulates the measurement of radiative fluxes in order to determine the approximate sample sizes required under various conditions of cloudiness.

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
Describes the basic system design and the radiative instrumentation maintained by Colorado State University on board the Convail 990 jet aircraft during the Summer Monsoon Experiment (MONEX). Discusses calibration procedures and gives the derived constraints used to convert instrument output to engineering units. Also discusses specific problems encountered during data reduction and the methods used to overcome them.

Description
The evoluation of low-level flow upstream of the Continental Divide (Rocky Mountains) from being blocked, i.e. unable to surmount the barrier, to becoming unblocked and blocked again is studied observationally and numerically.

Description
A dry, two-dimensional version of the Colorado State University Multi-Dimensional Cloud/Mesoscale Model was used to simulate the cross-valley dynamic and thermodynamic structure in deep mountain valleys during the morning transition period when the nocturnal inversion is destroyed.

Description
The results of this study show that the most important controls on inhibiting boundary layer growth in the wake of this squall line are a significant downward vertical velocity at the top of the mixed layer and an associated increase in stability of the overlying air.
