Some effects of meteorological processes on the air quality in Medford, Oregon

Creator:: Pavelka, Boris R.
Abstract:: In Medford, Oregon, the major source of pollution is the lumber mill waste burner. Its low combustion efficiency results in the emission of large quantities of particulate into the atmosphere. Due to the influence of the atmospheric radiation inversion and possibly the poor performance of the burners at the time...

Evaluation of alternative Markovian models for precipitation occurrence in Oregon

Creator:: Adotevi-Akue, George Modesto
Abstract:: Precipitation occurrence in three winter periods and three summer periods is examined for two Oregon stations: Seaside and Squaw Butte. The winter periods are January, February, and the interval January 15 to February 20. The summer periods are July, August, and the interval July 10 to August 15. The two...

Relationships between air quality and thermal structure of the lower atmosphere at Salem, Oregon

Creator:: McElroy, James L.
Abstract:: The examination in some detail of the relationships between air quality and the thermal structure of the lowest layers of the atmosphere constituted the primary objective of this thesis. Data for the study were assembled during April-June 1965 at the U.S. Weather Bureau Station, McNary Field, Salem, Oregon. The measures...

Variations in drop-size distributions as measured with a continuous raindrop recorder and compared to radar echo characteristics

Creator:: Hutcheon, Richard J. (Richard James)
Abstract:: This study examines in detail a continuous drop-size distribution recorder and selected data gathered with this recorder at various locations on 6, 15, and 31 May 1966. The drop-size distribution recorder consists of a self-contained, mobile unit able to operate without electric power. This recorder utilizes "Ozalid 105 SZ" filter...

A study of radar echo patterns related to mesoscale network observations and topography

Creator:: Knechtel, Kenneth Boyd
Abstract:: This investigation studies the relationship of the reflectivity in the radar beam depicted by the radar echo patterns to the computed reflectivity at surface observing stations under the radar beam. Drop size distributions at stations in the Oregon State University Mesometeorological Network during the storm period of 27-30 March 1963...

The relationship between snow crystal types and the prevailing atmospheric conditions associated with the passage of Pacific storms observed at Santiam Pass in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Bower, Carl A., Jr.
Abstract:: Detailed analyses of snow crystal sequence and atmospheric conditions were accomplished utilizing macrophotographic techniques for obtaining the snow crystal record at Santiam Pass in the Oregon Cascades on 19-20 January, 14-15 February, and 9-10 March, 1967. The photographic equipment consisted of a 35 millimeter single lens reflex camera, bellows, and...

An investigation of evaporation from the ocean off the Oregon coast, and from Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: DeRycke, Richard J.
Abstract:: A weather station was established on the dock of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center, Yaquina Bay, Oregon. A total of 197 weather observations was made from 30 June 1966 to 23 September 1966, with emphasis on the determination of the rate of evaporation from an evaporation pan and...

A radar and synoptic study of rain at a point

Creator:: Sarmah, Suryya Kanta
Abstract:: A radar echo-contour height measurement at different gain settings of the receiver, from RHI pictures shows that heavy rain occurs at the points above which steep echo-contour gradients appear. In this study, radar data came from the AN/CPS-9 radar located at McCulloch peak, about five miles from the Oregon State...

A synoptic and radar study of post-cold-frontal squall lines

Creator:: Fosberg, Michael A.
Abstract:: Seven cases of post-cold-frontal squall lines moving through the Willamette Valley of Northwest Oregon were investigated by the various techniques of meso-analysis. Time cross sections were converted to space cross sections by using the movement of the radar echo of the squall lines. The observations in time were converted to...
