Estimation of Lightning Stroke Peak Current as a Function of Peak Electric Field and the Normalized Amplitude of Signal Strength: Corrections and Improvements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have made connections and improvements to published equations relating the peak current and the peak electric field intensity for return strokes of cloud-to-ground lightning. The original published equations ...
Scavenging of Aerosol Particles by a Falling Water Droplet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is a study of the collection efficiency of water droplets (0.71?2.54 mm radius) freely falling through a silver chloride aerosol consisting of a relatively uniform distribution of spheres with radii in the range of ...
Estimating the Long-Term Hydrological Budget over Heterogeneous Surfaces
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimates of the hydrological budget in the Walnut River Watershed (WRW; ?5000 km2) of southern Kansas were made with a parameterized subgrid-scale surface (PASS) model for the period 1996?2002. With its subgrid-scale ...
The Arm Program's Water Vapor Intensive Observation Periods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of water vapor intensive observation periods (WVIOPs) were conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site in Oklahoma between 1996 and 2000. The goals of these WVIOPs are to characterize the accuracy ...
The Boardman Regional Flux Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field campaign was carried out near Boardman, Oregon, to study the effects of subgrid-scale variability of sensible-and latent-heat fluxes on surface boundary-layer properties. The experiment involved three U.S. Department ...
