CHAPTER 6 ICE PHASE PRECIPITATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ce phase precipitation occurs at the Earth?s surface and may include various types of pristine crystals, rimed crystals, freezing droplets, secondary crystals, aggregates, graupel, hail, or combinations of any of these. ...
A Test of Ice Self-Collection Kernels Using Aircraft Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft observations from the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers (CRYSTAL)?Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (FACE) campaign obtained in the anvil of a large convective storm from 26 July 2002 are ...
Shattering and Particle Interarrival Times Measured by Optical Array Probes in Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Optical array probes are one of the most important tools for determining the microphysical structure of clouds. It has been known for some time that the shattering of ice crystals on the housing of these probes can lead ...
Midlatitude Cyclone Compositing to Constrain Climate Model Behavior Using Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Identical composite analysis of midlatitude cyclones over oceanic regions has been carried out on both output from the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model, version 3 (CAM3) and multisensor satellite data. By focusing on mean ...
A Physically Based Subgrid Parameterization for the Production and Maintenance of Mixed-Phase Clouds in a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: physically based method for parameterizing the role of subgrid-scale turbulence in the production and maintenance of supercooled liquid water and mixed-phase clouds is presented. The approach used is to simplify the dynamics ...
The Surface Downwelling Solar Radiation Surplus over the Southern Ocean in the Met Office Model: The Role of Midlatitude Cyclone Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors study the role of clouds in the persistent bias of surface downwelling shortwave radiation (SDSR) in the Southern Ocean in the atmosphere-only version of the Met Office model. The reduction of this bias in the ...
Ice Particle Interarrival Times Measured with a Fast FSSP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ice particle interarrival times have been measured with a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP). The distribution of interarrival times is bimodal instead of the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson ...
Ice in Clouds Experiment–Layer Clouds. Part II: Testing Characteristics of Heterogeneous Ice Formation in Lee Wave Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eterogeneous ice nucleation is a source of uncertainty in models that represent ice clouds. The primary goal of the Ice in Clouds Experiment?Layer Clouds (ICE-L) field campaign was to determine if a link can be demonstrated ...
Mixed-Phase Clouds: Progress and Challenges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMixed-phase clouds represent a three-phase colloidal system consisting of water vapor, ice particles, and coexisting supercooled liquid droplets. Mixed-phase clouds are ubiquitous in the troposphere, occurring at ...
