Abstract: The alignment of columnar ice crystals due to the electric field surrounding a moving charged object, such as an aircraft, is modeled. The model allows the conditions of charge, velocity, ambient electric field, and size ...

Abstract: Measurements have been made of the electric charge acquired by an ice sphere as the result of whirling it through various types of natural cloud and snowfall. The sphere received an appreciable charge only if ice were ...

Abstract: The sources of the electrical charges acquired by ice spheres rotated through natural cloud or precipitation particles are considered. In general, the steady charge that a sphere receives in such experiments derives from ...

Abstract: A number of cloud physics investigations were made within stratiform clouds in the areas around Denver, Colorado, and Kansas City, Missouri, during the winter months of 1989/90. There significant difference in the ...

Abstract: Radar measurements of reflectivity differential reflectivity, and X-band (3-cm wavelength) specific attenuation are used to inter some microphysical characteristics of warm-based convective clouds with emphasis on raindrop ...
