A Numerical Model for the Equilibrium Shape of Electrified Raindrops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The model Beard Chuang, using the differential form of Laplace's formula, has been extended to raindrop shapes under the influence of vertical electric fields and drop charges. A finite volume method was used with a ...
Nucleation Scavenging of Smoke Particles and Simulated Drop Size Distributions over Large Biomass Fires
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A prescribed burn experiment was conducted in Hardiman Township, Ontario, Canada in August 1987. The fire was of adequate intensity to force the formation of a cumulus cloud, and much of the smoke passed through this cloud. ...
A Microphysical Retrieval Scheme for Continental Low-Level Stratiform Clouds: Impacts of the Subadiabatic Character on Microphysical Properties and Radiation Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using measurements from the Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program, a modified ground-based remote sensing technique is developed and evaluated to study the impacts of the subadiabatic character ...
A Comparison of Model- and Satellite-Derived Aerosol Optical Depth and Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The determination of an accurate quantitative understanding of the role of tropospheric aerosols in the earth's radiation budget is extremely important because forcing by anthropogenic aerosols presently represents one of ...
