Abstract: This technical note extends previous Mie calculations to show that there are complex relationships between the asymmetry parameter g and the upscatter fractions for monodirectional incident radiation ?(?0). Except for ...

Abstract: In a recent paper, Han et al. analyzed satellite data radiances to retrieve cloud droplet effective radii and reported significant interhemispheric differences for both maritime and continental clouds. The mean cloud droplet ...

Abstract: Sequential analyses of data from a network of eight special rawinsonde stations 100 km apart demonstrate the important effects of mesoscale disturbances in a 2½-hr episode of light-to-moderate clear air turbulence (CAT). ...

Abstract: Seventeen thunderstorm complexes, observed by TIROS satellite over the United States, were investigated. The diameter of the conspicuously bright storm cloud shield, composed of integrated thunderstorm anvils, has been ...

Abstract: More than 1000 hr of radar records taken with the APS-34 1.25-cm vertical-beam radar during a four-year period have been readily classified into four clearly recognizable types. A limited number of precipitation growth ...

Abstract: In this paper, the performance augmentation of underactuated fingers through additional actuators is presented and discussed. Underactuated, also known as self-adaptive, fingers typically only rely on a single actuator for ...

Abstract: Sinusoidal variations in the longitudinal speed of the wind in the planetary boundary layer are observed with a C-band multiple-gate Doppler radar using snow as a wind tracer. These undulations in the horizontal wind are ...

Abstract: Substantial variations in density, temperature and winds in the high-latitude thermosphere during geomagnetic substorms have been recorded using a wide variety of observational techniques. The disturbed state of the ...

Abstract: Analysis of radar film from New England and the midwest has shed additional light on the relation of precipitation-line motion to upper winds, the direction of motion, the line lifetimes and the regious of appearance and ...
