An observation of cooling tower plume effects on total solar radiation

Measurements of total solar radiation were made on 7 March 1977. The sky was cloudless but a cooling tower plume occasionally came between the sun and the pyranometer that was used. These measurements resulted in values that were greater than those expected with a cloudless sky. It is likely that reflections from the plume, whose average position was slightly north of an imaginary sun-pyranometer line, were responsible.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22779/1/0000334.pd

Characteristics of true lake breezes along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan

Measurements of temperature, humidity and wind velocity made from 1973 to 1978 at several special stations near Lake Michigan are analyzed to determine true lake breeze occurrences, movement inland and effects of cloudiness and wind speed on lake breeze behavior. A total of 187 true lake breezes occurred in the 6 year period, with July and August having the most frequent occurrences. Nearly half of these moved inland as far as 19 km. Fifty retreated lakeward after having moved inland. The formation and behavior of true lake breezes are discussed in relation to the strength of the offshore wind and cloudiness. Vertical temperature differences associated with the passage, duration and retreat of true lake breezes are presented and discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/24581/1/0000864.pd

Advection-radiation fog near lake Michigan

Two years of visibility measurements made about 1 and 19 km from Lake Michigan are analyzed to determine occurrences of advection-radiation fog. Occurrences at both stations are most frequent in the summer months, and the 1-km station has about twice as many hours of fog as the 19-km station. The reason is that a combination of onshore gradient winds and lake breezes acts to maintain higher average relative humidities at the 1-km station, with terrain differences of secondary importance.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/23059/1/0000631.pd
