RISA Climatological Parameterization for Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A research airplane was used to study the microphysical characteristics of ice-free, nonprecipitating summertime cumulus clouds in Montana. Each cloud was penetrated at a multiplicity of levels encompassing, in general, a ...
Extension of the Stochastic Mixing Model to Cumulonimbus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The stochastic mixing model of cumulus clouds is extended to the case in which ice and precipitation form. A simple cloud microphysical model is adopted in which ice crystals and aggregates are carried along with the ...
Small-Scale Variability in Warm Continental Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have analyzed small-scale fluctuations in microphysical, dynamical and thermodynamical parameters measured in two warm cumulus clouds during the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) project (1981) in ...
Turbulent Mixing, Spectral Evolution and Dynamics in a Warm Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The analysis of Paluch suggests that some cumuli contain cloudy air from only two sources: cloud base and cloud top. A framework is presented for the investigation of droplet spectral evolution in clouds composed of air ...
Rain in Shallow Cumulus Over the Ocean: The RICO Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shallow, maritime cumuli are ubiquitous over much of the tropical oceans, and characterizing their properties is important to understanding weather and climate. The Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign, ...
