The Effect of Suspended Ice Crystals on Radiative Cooling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two periods of very low (below ?40C) surface temperature of Fairbanks, Alaska, were studied in detail as part of ice fog investigations during the 1961?1962 winter. The observed cooling rates from teh snow surface up to ...
Quasi-Equilibrium Temperature Differences between Radiating Ice Crystals and the Surrounding Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A previous attempt to calculate the temperature gradient around a growing ice crystal in clear air started with the radiation budget of the crystal plus the assumption that the measured frost point temperature (about 2C ...
Impact of Source Region on the δ18O Signal in Snow: A Case Study from Mount Wrangell, Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he stable isotopic composition of water in ice cores is an important source of information on past climate variability. At its simplest level, the underlying assumption is that there is an empirical relationship between ...
Winter Pressure Systems and Ice Fog in Fairbanks, Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The production of the low temperatures which are responsible for ice fog in inhabited areas of interior Alaska would appear to be a classic example of clear sky radiative cooling under nearly polar night conditions. However, ...
