Marine Fog and Its Dissipation over Warm Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A long aircraft flight in fog at altitude 60 m was conducted on 25 September 1981, due west from San Francisco, California, until clear air was reached. The fog began near the coast and the air remained foggy until the ...
Vertical Mixing in Clear Air and Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The realization that clouds are diluted by the entrainment of dry air from outside the cloud boundaries began more than 40 years ago. Cloud-top entrainment was first clearly recognized by Squires in 1958. Warner and Squires ...
A New Hypothesis for the Mechanism of Ice Nucleation on Wetted AgI and AgI·AgCl Particulate Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A potential molecular mechanism of ice nucleation on AgI and AgI?·?AgCl particulates involves rearrangement of ordered water molecule clusters associated with hydrated Ag+ ion patches. This nucleation mechanism is thought ...
A Numerical Model for Dispersion in a Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model based on the convective plumes observed in the convecting planetary boundary layer has been developed for material dispersion from both elevated and ground source releases. Mechanistic formulation, rather ...
Entrainment and the Temporal Development of the Microphysies of Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper addresses the question of time changes in the cloud parcels comprising a cumulus cloud. Observations are analyzed which show how a cloud parcel begins its life on the upshear side of the cloud. As the cloud as ...
An Interpretation of the Mechanisms of Ice-Crystal Formation Operative in the Lake Almanor Cloud-Seeding Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a 1984?85 winter cloud-seeding program at Lake Almanor, California, indium sesquioxide (In2O3) aerosol particle generators were collocated with silver iodide (AgI) aerosol particle generators as a source of inert tracer ...
Enhanced and Oriented Riming of Growing Ice Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geometrically oriented riming was found in Formvar resin replicas of columnar ice crystals collected in cumulus clouds at ?6°C during an aircraft field program in Texas. Rimed cloud droplets were found either on the ends ...
