Evaluation of the collection, archiving and publication of daily snow data in the United States
Snow is an important component of the earth's environment and can significantly impact the everyday life. The quality of the data varies from one state to another, although it tends to be weakest where snow is least common. As a result
Synoptic-scale variability in the probability of precipitation from thunderstorms in the United States
A synoptic-scale climatology of precipitation amounts from thunderstorms is developed by analysis of amounts from individual storms for 220 stations in the conterminous United States for the period 1948-1977. The probability of having a thunderstorm
The reference base for compaction state of soils in Impact of water and external forces on soil structure. Selected papers of the 1st Workshop on soilphysics and soilmechanics, Hannover 1986.
Comparison of the results with those of the laboratory experiments show that in virgin soils a compaction state prevails in the subsoil that is caused by higher loads as applied in the lab-experiments. This might be brought about by occasional
extreme drying. The A. concludes that the relation between void ratio and vertical stress is a characteristic of the structural state of a soil profile.
Comparison of the marine oxygen isotope record, the eustatic sea level record, and the chronology of glaciation in the United States of America in Quaternary glaciations in the Northern Hemisphere.
A climatology of intra-monthly temperature variability in the conterminous United States 1951-1980
Monthly standard deviations of daily maximum (high) temperatures are computed and mapped for 151 sites across the conterminous United States for the period 1951-1980 in order to portray spatial and temporal variations of intra-monthly temperatures
A method for characterizing the state of compactness of an arable soil in Impact of water and external forces on soil structure. Selected papers of the 1st Workshop on soilphysics and soilmechanics, Hannover 1986.
The method, described here, gives a useful characterization of the state of compactness of an annually tilled soil layer from a biological point of view. The main goal was to develop a method, giving maximum crop yield with the same degree
Present state of the Baltic coastal waters off Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany in The eastern part of Germany.
Based on the results of monitoring programmes carried out between 1973 and 1988 and reviewing existing literature, the state of these waters is discussed. Characterization of the environmental background conditions of the area including its
Comparison of soils in midwestern United States and western Europe with the interglacial record
Western Europe and midwestern United States are best explained by relatively long interglaciations or the development of composite soils over a number of temperate periods. Climatic contrasts between the interglaciations appear to have been overemphasized
