Pre-EUCREX Intercomparison of Airborne Humidity Measuring Instruments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the pre-EUCREX (European Cloud and Radiation Experiment) intercomparison of airborne instrumentation in January 1992, nine hygrometers mounted on three different aircraft were compared. Although the different ...
Ice Particle Interarrival Times Measured with a Fast FSSP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ice particle interarrival times have been measured with a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP). The distribution of interarrival times is bimodal instead of the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson ...
The Role of Spaceborne Millimeter-Wave Radar in the Global Monitoring of Ice Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the potential of a spaceborne 94-GHz radar for providing useful measurements of the vertical distribution and water content of ice clouds on a global scale. Calculations of longwave ...
THE GREENLAND FLOW DISTORTION EXPERIMENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic?western European region, dictating the location and strength of mesoscale weather systems around the coastal seas of Greenland and directly ...
Secondary Ice Production: Current State of the Science and Recommendations for the Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easured ice crystal concentrations in natural clouds at modest supercooling (temperature ~>?10°C) are often orders of magnitude greater than the number concentration of primary ice nucleating particles. Therefore, it has ...
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, ...
Cloud Banding and Winds in Intense European Cyclones: Results from the DIAMET Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Diabatic Influences on Mesoscale Structures in Extratropical Storms (DIAMET) project aims to improve forecasts of high-impact weather in extratropical cyclones through field measurements, high-resolution numerical ...
