Abstract: A mixed-phase hydrometer growth model has been applied to determining the nucleation mode and rate responsible for the glaciation of a highly supercooled liquid cloud studied jointly by ground-based polarization lidar and ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional cloud microphysical model is applied to exploring the basic conditions under which ice crystal nucleation, from the homogeneous freezing of ammonium sulfate haze particles, can occur in cirrus clouds at ...

Abstract: The origins of atmospheric states that are non-elliptic for the height constrained balance equation are examined from observational perspectives. Such states are commonly present in the deep tropics in Objectively analyzed ...

Abstract: The optical and microphysical properties of subvisual cirrus clouds are derived from ground-based polarization lidar, shortwave radiation flux, and solar corona measurements of two ?0.75 km deep cirrus located near the ...

Abstract: Ensemble simulations made using a coupled atmospheric dynamic model and a probabilistic Lagrangian puff dispersion model were employed in a forensic analysis of the transport and dispersion of a toxic gas that may have ...
