Buckley Dew-Formation Study.

Abstract

Surface weather observations at Buckley Air National Guard Base, Colorado, from 1966 to 1975 provide the basis for estimating the percentage frequency of occurrence of dew on a radome. Consideration is given to the effect of maintaining a minimum temperature of 5 C in the radome and to the moist plume of a nearby cooling-tower. Estimates are given of the percentage frequency of occurrence of dewfall by month for three hour time groups. The results show most of the dew formation to be caused by the cooling-tower plume intercepting the radome. (Author)
