The Effect of Tropospheric Temperature Lapse Rates on the Ascent Rates of Pilot Balloons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By utilizing a double-theodolite tracking system in conjunction with aircraft soundings and rawinsonde observations during pilot balloon release, it was found that temperature lapse rate may have a definite and sometimes ...
The Role of Cloud Top Entrainment in Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The entrainment process and its resultant effects on the microphysics and dynamics within cumuli are not yet clearly understood. This research was undertaken to discover the role which cloud top plays in the entrainment ...
Synoptic and Mesoscale Circulations and Precipitation Mechanisms in Shallow Upslope Storms over the Western High Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is generally believed that synoptically driven storms, with Offing induced or enhanced by upslope flow over the high plains, produce most of the winter precipitation in eastern Colorado. Two extremely different circulations, ...
