MICRO-METEOROLOGICAL RADIATION PROBLEMS.
Abstract
This investigation concerns itself with two micro-meteorological infrared radiation problems. (1) The first problem deals with the determination of long wave radiation along the line of symmetry inside and above a cone. Such a cone, embedded in the plane earth, is thought to idealize a valley. The radiative transfer equations were set up in such a manner as to deal with the special geometry involved. (2) The diurnal distribution of infrared water vapor cooling rates for a plane parallel and homogeneous atmosphere near the ground is investigated. In order to have continuous temperature distributions as a function of time, observed temperature gradients were subjected to harmonic analysis. (Author)
