TROPICAL DISTURBANCES OF JULY 1933

Disturbances in the Tropical Upper Troposphere

The study consists of a detailed investigation of wave disturbances in the upper tropical troposphere of the western Pacific Ocean using data for a four month period. Cross sections for individual stations of wind and temperature and synoptic analyses are used to establish time and space scales of the disturbances during their active periods. Examination of corresponding mid-latitude events wer...

Global View of the Origin of Tropical Disturbances and Storms

A global observational study of atmospheric conditions associated with tropical disturbance and storm development is presented. This study primarily uses upper air observations which have become available over the tropical oceans in the last decade. Climatological values of vertical stability, low level wind, tropospheric vertical wind shear and other parameters relative to the location and sea...

Rainfall in Maritime Tropical Air over the Midwest, July

The minfall over the Midwest from July 16-18, 1953 aroused the curiosity o€ all interested in the relationship between weather and the weather map. The fronts that are often invoked to explain the weather were absent. When rain occurs without the aid of fronts, as in this case, the meteorologist must seek other explanations of the phenomenon. This article presents an investigation of the possib...
