Corrections of Surface Particle Probe Measurements for the Effects of Aspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Particle probes from Particle Measuring Systems are routinely designed to be mounted on an aircraft or other movable platform. There are attempts, however, to apply this technology to stationary surface measurements by ...
The Accretion of Ice Particles by Rime during Dry Growth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Freezing nuclei were used as tracers in experiments to determine whether ice particles are accreted by rime during dry growth. Experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel and in natural clouds at a mountaintop observatory. ...
Atmospheric Concentrations of Submicron Contact-freezing Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric concentrations of contact-freezing nuclei were measured using a technique primarily sensitive to submicron aerosol particles. Diffusion and phoretic forces were relied on for the capture of nuclei by supercooled ...
The Persistence of Seeding Effects in a Winter Orographic Cloud Seeded with Silver Iodide Burned in Acetone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A single case-study of a winter orographic cloud over the central Sierra Nevada is presented in which the effects of aerial seeding with silver iodide, an AgI NH4C1O4 mixture burned in acetone, were observed to persist for ...
Estimating the Fraction of Winter Orographic Precipitation Produced under Conditions Meeting the Seeding Criteria for the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nnual precipitation increases of 10% or more are often quoted for the impact of winter orographic cloud seeding; however, establishing the basis for such values is problematic for two reasons. First, the impact of glaciogenic ...
Evaluating Winter Orographic Cloud Seeding: Design of the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project (WWMPP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n overview of the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project (WWMPP) is presented. This project, funded by the State of Wyoming, is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of cloud seeding with silver iodide in the Medicine ...
Physical Response of Winter Orographic Clouds over the Sierra Nevada to Airborne Seeding Using Dry Ice or Silver Iodide
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud seeding experiments devoted to physical measurements of the effects of seeding shallow stable winter orographic clouds have been conducted in the central Sierra Nevada of California from 1984 to 1986. Seeding was ...
The Concordiasi Project in Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Concordiasi project is making innovative observations of the atmosphere above Antarctica. The most important goals of the Concordiasi are as follows: To enhance the accuracy of weather prediction and climate records ...
