Description
The feasibility of using a photodiode radiometer to infer optical depth of thin clouds from solar intensity measurements was examined. Analysis of the case study results indicates that the photodiode radiometer can be used effectively to determine the optical depth of thin clouds.

Description
Data acquired during the 1972 Venezuelan International Meteorological and Hydrological Experiment is used to study the thermodynamic structure of the cumulus sub-cloud layer: its time dependence, and transformation by precipitation. A close relationship between lifting condensation level (LCL) and cloud base, and between LCL and the transition layer is found.

Description
The results indicate that the presence of extensive low-level decoupled flow does indeed cause part of the orographic lift of the mountain barrier to be experienced upstream of the barrier. This changes the location of condensate production which in turn shifts precipitation upstream.

The physical, thermodynamic and dynamic characteristics of convective cloud rings (open cell convection) occurring on July 18, 1969 during the fourth phase of the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean are studied in detail.

Description
Two well documented cases of tradewind disturbances are studied. One disturbance developed into Hurricane Carla (1961) while the other failed to intensify. Initially the two cases appeared to be very similar but on closer inspection the flow patterns in which the disturbances were embedded proved to have significant differences. This paper describes these differences.

Description
A persistent feature of the atmosphere over the eastern portions of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is the existence of broad areas of stratocumulus convection. These stratocumulus regimes lie to the east of the large semi-permanent subtropical high pressure centers.
