Abstract:

This document consists of four separate reports relate to the study of the physical, thermodynamical, and dynamical causes of low ceilings and visibilities. The titles of these reports are 1 a method of estimating insolation loss due to soil moisture 2 the use of insolation in forecasting the dissipation of summer stratus at Burbank, California 3 computation of visual range in fog and low clouds and 4 special variations of various meteorological parameter.
