Hail Recognition through the Combined Use of Radar Reflectivity and Cloud-Top Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is described whereby the radar reflectivity can he combined with cloud-top temperature, from either satellite imagery and/or sounding analysis, to provide a reliable discrimination between heavy rain and/or ...
Distribution of Graupel and Hail With Size
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations have been made on the size and concentration of graupel and hail occurring in untreated convective cloud systems over the High Plains of the United States. From these data, an average graupel and hail distribution ...
Correlation of Land Use and Cover with Meteorological Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerial reconnaissance of the greater St. Louis area has led to the identification and classification of land use types. The land use classification provides as much compatibility as possible with other classification ...
Observations of an Industrial Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extensive aircraft observations of thermodynamical parameters, updrafts, condensation nuclei and turbulence were obtained of an isolated, non-precipitating, stationary cumulus cloud growing over a refinery complex. These ...
Inferences about Ice Nucleation from Ice Crystal Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The total concentration of ice crystals found in natural cap clouds appears to result from the nucleating behavior of at least two types of ice nuclei, i.e., freezing and deposition. The respective contributions of these ...
Updraft Measurements Beneath the Base of Cumulus and Cumulonimbus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the summers of 1964 and 1965, the Colorado State University Hail Suppression Research Project made updraft measurements beneath the base of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds in northeastern Colorado. Analysis of the ...
Hail in the Vicinity of Organized Updrafts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several encounters with hail and graupel (often inadvertent) have occurred while flying an aircraft through the organized updrafts at the base of thunderstorms in the High Plains area. These encounters normally occurred ...
