A Climatology of Selected Storms for Wallops Island, Virginia, 1971-1975 AFGL/SAMS Report Number 4.
Abstract
The SAMS hydrometeor erosion tests, held during the winter storm seasons of 1971 through 1975, have yielded considerable meteorological data concerning the weather situations that were prevalent at the time of each test. The situations have been categorized into three different types and the data under each category have been statistically analyzed to produce the mean values and corresponding standard deviations of many meteorological parameters. The data are presented in both tables and graphs for each category, plus wind speed direction up to 12 km in altitude for all situations. A general description of storm structure is given defining regions of precipitation and zones of transition. An appendix of general climatic data for Wallops Island, Virginia is included. (Author)
