Abstract: Indirect justification for extrapolating the Goff-Gratch formula for saturation vapor pressure over liquid water to temperatures as low as ?60°C has been obtained during a recent study of ice nucleation on aerosol particles ...

Abstract: Results from one-dimensional cirrus cloud model simulations in the absence of upward velocities are used to show that the growth/sublimation of the ice particles in the cloud, and the fact that they are falling, can be ...

Abstract: A rough analysis shows that it may be economically feasible to reduce space heating costs during the cold season in the northern United States by modifying naturally-occurring cloud cover, or by artificially forming clouds ...

Abstract: Experiments conducted in a laboratory cloud chamber at ?15°C show no significant initiation of freezing in supercooled cloud droplets when they are penetrated by 5.3 MeV alpha particles emitted by a 500 ?Ci 210>Po source.

Abstract: An analysis of aircraft-measured data obtained in the lower portion of a High Plains thunderstorm anvil is presented. A ?wind shadow? is still evident 5 to 7 core diameters downstream of the storm core. The wind fluctuations ...

Abstract: The M-meter is designed to measure total mass concentration of hydrometeors from aircraft aloft. Its essence is a free-rotating, vaned disk with face normal to the freestream; rotation is driven by airflow through the ...

Abstract: The ice saturation ratio at which 1% of aged silver iodide and lead iodide aerosol particles nucleate ice from moist air is observed to depend on temperature. Between roughly ?30 and ?67°C the threshold for both aerosol ...

Abstract: Daily observations of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) were made for three summer months in 2005 at a site in rural western North Dakota. The goal was to define the natural background CCN population characteristics and to ...

Abstract: An armored T-28 research aircraft made direct observations of the hydrometeors present at approximately the ?3°C temperature level in the inflow region of a multicell thunderstorm. During the penetration, both the Colorado ...
