Predictions of Saturation Ratio for Cloud Microphysical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The saturation development equation is solved analytically to give a solution that is more general than the existing analytical solution. This analytical solution provides accurate predictions of the saturation ratio and ...
Theory of Deliquescence and Modified Köhler Curves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conventional Köhler theory, which describes the equilibrium sizes of hygroscopic aerosol particles in humid air, is modified by considering the solubility limitation so that the deliquescence and hysteresis processes ...
The Theoretical Basis for the Parameterization of Ice Crystal Habits: Growth by Vapor Deposition
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical analysis of surface kinetic and gas-phase diffusional effects permits the growth rates and habits of ice crystals to be specified in a self-consistent way. The analysis makes use of the fact that the difference ...
Simulation of Cloud Microphysical and Chemical Processes Using a Multicomponent Framework. Part I: Description of the Microphysical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed microphysical and chemical cloud model has been developed to investigate the redistribution of atmospheric trace substances through cloud processes. A multicomponent categorization scheme is used to group cloud ...
Simulation of Cloud Microphysical and Chemical Processes Using a Multicomponent Framework. Part II: Microphysical Evolution of a Wintertime Orographic Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed microphysical model is used to simulate the formation of wintertime orographic clouds in a two-dimensional domain under steady-state conditions. Mass contents and number concentrations of both liquid- and ice-phase ...
Triple-Moment Modal Parameterization for the Adaptive Growth Habit of Pristine Ice Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: three-moment modal parameterization scheme was developed for describing variations in the shape of cloud ice crystals during growth by vapor deposition. The shape of ice crystals is represented using the volume-weighted ...
Exploitation of Subharmonics for Separated Shear Layer Control on a High Lift Low Pressure Turbine Using Acoustic Forcing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanism of separation control by sound excitation is investigated on the aftloaded lowpressure turbine (LPT) blade profile, the L1A, which experiences a large boundary layer separation at low Reynolds numbers. Previous ...
Diurnally Asymmetric Trends of Temperature, Humidity, and Precipitation in Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this work, 45 years (1961?2005) of hourly meteorological data in Taiwan, including temperature, humidity, and precipitation, have been analyzed with emphasis on their diurnal asymmetries. A long-term decreasing trend ...
Role of Interactions between Aerosol Radiative Effect, Dynamics, and Cloud Microphysics on Transitions of Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtended-range prediction of monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (MISOs), crucial for agriculture and water management, is limited by their event-to-event variability. Here, the authors propose a hypothesis supported by a ...
Meteorological and Aerosol Effects on Marine Stratocumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the effects of meteorological conditions and aerosols on marine stratocumulus in the southeastern Pacific using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. Two regimes with different temperature ...
