A project was conducted during September 1969 to determine the structure of the atmosphere over the Colorado Rocky Mountains from 4-70 km.

This paper presents the results of an investigation of meteorological factors causing variations in the distribution of mountain precipitation with respect to elevation.

Denver air pollution is removed in part by what is called the friction-stovepipe effect, a net indraft of air into the city which rises there and then moves outward again; in part by ventilation from winds blowing across town horizontally; and to a smaller extent by vertical turbulence in the middle of the day.

The major storm through the Midwest during the period 26 January to 28 January, 1967 was investigated to determine the cause of the narrow belt of exceedingly heavy snowfall, and to illustrate the relationship between the broad scale air motion and the synoptic and mesoscale precipitation pattern.

Solar and net radiation measurements made during the Venezuelan International Meteorological-Hydrological Experiment (VIM-HEX) conducted in Venezuela in the summer of 1969 are discussed.

The erosion and subsequent mixing to the environment of the updraft of mesoscale convective clouds is examined and modeled as a mechanism for the thermal modification of the cloud environment.

The purpose of this work is to determine: (1) if the patch model of adsorption of water vapor on pure silver iodide is valid at nucleation; (2) if the energetics of nucleation are comparable to the energetics of adsorption; (3) the mechanism of nucleation on pure silver iodide; and (4) how nucleation observed by adsorption methods compares to cloud chamber studies.
