Effects of Pressure on Collision, Coalescence, and Breakup of Raindrops. Part I: Experiments at 50 kPa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous breakup experiments have been carried out at laboratory pressures (?100 kPa). However, raindrop interactions mainly take place higher up in the atmosphere, even in the supercooled part of a cloud where drops can ...
Effects of Pressure on Collision, Coalescence, and Breakup of Raindrops. Part II: Parameterization and Spectra Evolution at 50 and 100 kPa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fragment size distributions, experimentally obtained for six drop pairs colliding at 50 kPa, are parameterized similarly to the 100-kPa drop pair experiments by Low and List. This information is then introduced into a box ...
