Models of dust emissions by wind erosion (including winds associated with regional activity as well as dust devils) and vehicular disturbances of unpaved roads were developed, calibrated,and used to estimate alkaline dust emissions from elemental soi

There is now considerable evidence to substantiate the causal relationship between low altitude wind shear (LAWS) and the recent increase in low-altitude aircraft accidents. The National Research Council has found that for the period 1964 to 1982, LA

Estimates are made of the contribution of dust devils to the aerosol mass burden over the U.S. These estimates have been derived from experimental data generalized by using climatic and vegetation maps of the U.S. The area of maximum calculated dust

A new ice nucleant aerosol was produced by combustion of a 2% AgI-0.5 mole % Bil3-NH4I-acetone-water solution. The ice nucleating effectiveness of this aerosol is an order of magnitude greater than AgI alone at −10°C. An X-ray powder analysis iden

Using an airborne lidar, we have measured atmospheric aerosol backscatter coefficients (differential backscatter cross section per unit volume) for 10.6 μm wavelength laser radiation as a function of height to 5200 m for a number of meteorological c

A Doppler lidar measures the line-of-sight velocity of cloud droplets in a waterspout much as a meteorological Doppler radar measures the velocity of larger hydrometeors. We discuss details of the application of an airborne Doppler lidar to waterspou

Regions of brightness variations are common in visible and near-infrared satellites images from clear coastal regions. The variations have been hypothesized to be caused by aerosol particles in the marine boundary layer. The hypothesis was tested usi

A number of authors have, in the past, been of the opinion that dust devil direction of rotation is controlled by the earth's rotation. While this contention can be easily attacked through theoretical arguments, actual observations become the decidin

An extensive dust devil census taken near Tucson, Ariz., has provided, from two independent areas, quantitative information on the relation of environmental conditions to the spatial distribution, frequency and duration of a particular type of dry at
