RISCharacterization of Hydrometeors in Sahelian Convective Systems with an X-Band Radar and Comparison with In Situ Measurements. Part II: A Simple Brightband Method to Infer the Density of Icy Hydrometeors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simple scheme that is based on the shape and intensity of the radar bright band is used to infer the density of hydrometeors just above the freezing level in Sahelian mesoscale convective systems (MCS). Four MCS jointly ...
Experimental and Numerical Study of Wake Interference and Clashing Between Steel Catenary Risers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this work is to estimate the risk of clashing between steel catenary risers (SCRs) due to wake interference. More generally, the validity of clearance analysis between risers as recommended by design codes is ...
Characterization of Hydrometeors in Sahelian Convective Systems with an X-Band Radar and Comparison with In Situ Measurements. Part I: Sensitivity of Polarimetric Radar Particle Identification Retrieval and Case Study Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he particle identification scheme developed by Dolan and Rutledge for X-band polarimetric radar is tested for the first time in Africa and compared with in situ measurements. The data were acquired during the Megha-Tropiques ...
A Comparison of Airborne In Situ Cloud Microphysical Measurement with Ground-Based C-Band Radar Observations in Deep Stratiform Regions of African Squall Lines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study addresses clouds with significant ice water content (IWC) in the stratiform regions downwind of the convective cores of African squall lines in the framework of the French?Indian satellite Megha-Tropiques project, ...
The Measured Relationship between Ice Water Content and Cloud Radar Reflectivity in Tropical Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, unprecedented bulk measurements of ice water content (IWC) up to approximately 5 g m?3 and 95-GHz radar reflectivities Z95 are used to analyze the statistical relationship between these two quantities and its ...
Ice Crystal Sizes in High Ice Water Content Clouds. Part II: Statistics of Mass Diameter Percentiles in Tropical Convection Observed during the HAIC/HIWC Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHigh ice water content (IWC) regions in mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are a potential threat to commercial aviation, as they are suspected to cause in-service engine power-loss events and air data probe ...
