Abstract: Green thunderstorms are observed occasionally, yet with one exception they have received no scientific attention, experimental or theoretical. Fraser suggested that thunderstorms themselves are not green but that a thick ...

Abstract: The visual phenomenon called virga, a sudden change in the brightness of a precipitation shaft below a cloud, is commonly attributed to evaporation of raindrops. It is said to be rain that does not reach the ground. The ...

Abstract: A statistical pattern recognition technique called IREW is described. IREW has several strengths, such as fast execution, small storage requirements, and increments learning, that may make the technique useful for many ...

Abstract: A model for airflow over mountainous terrain is presented. The equations for steady, two-dimensional, laminar inviscid flow, including pseudo-adiabatic latent heat release, are derived. Approximate solutions to the linearized ...

Abstract: Expressions are derived for the horizontal and vertical components of the wind, the temperature, and the mass of water vapor condensed when air flows over a long mountainous ridge. The growth of solid precipitation particles ...
