RISMeasurements of Precipitation Particles in Warm Cumuli over Southeast Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation particles >250 ? were sampled in the upper regions of warm cumuli over southeast Texas using a foil-belt particle sampler. It was found that relatively high concentrations of drops can occur. Concentrations ...
Quality Control and Archiving of Digital Data Gathered by the Bureau of Reclamation's Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paid describes the logic and process used to process high volumes of digital radar data recorded on magnetic tape to a compressed quality-checked archival format. The basic Philosophy in the processing is to retain ...
Stability of the Surface Layer and Its Relation to the Dispersion of Primary Pollutants in St. Louis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of atmospheric stability in the lowest 30 m in characterizing the dispersion of the primary pollutants CO, NO and hydrocarbons is investigated using the 1976 air quality data set for St. Louis. Stability is ...
A Model of Hygroscopic Seeding in Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A systematic modeling exploration has been conducted to map the growth and trajectory of hygroscopically initiated precipitation particles. The model used is a one-dimensional, steady-state, condensation-coalescence model ...
Computer Processing of Digital Radar Data Gathered during HIPLEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Digital radar data are being collected as part of the Bureau of Reclamation's High Plains Cooperative Program (HIPLEX). The radars used in this study are sensitive, narrow-beam, 5 cm wavelength systems which record echo ...
Predictor Variables of the Maximum Radar Echo Activity on Convective Days
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Digital radar data and atmospheric sounding information were analyzed with the intention of beginning a search for atmospheric parameters which are easily attainable, are independent of whether or not clouds are seeded, ...
A Description of the Initial Set of Analysis Products Available from the NEXRAD WSR-88D System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NEXRAD program is deploying a network of approximately 160 weather radars throughout the United States and at selected overseas sites. The WSR-88D systems provide highly sensitive, fine-resolution measurements of ...
Major Advances Foreseen in Humidity Profiling from the Water Vapour Lidar Experiment in Space (WALES)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The need for an absolute standard for water vapor observations, in the form of a global dataset with high accuracy and good spatial resolution, has long been recognized. The European Space Agency's Water Vapour Lidar ...
A Comparison of NEXRAD WSR-88D Radar Estimates of Rain Accumulation with Gauge Measurements for High- and Low-Reflectivity Horizontal Gradient Precipitation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radar-estimated rainfall amounts from the NEXRAD Weather Surveillance Radar precipitation accumulation algorithm were compared with measurements from numerous rain gauges (1639 radar versus gauge comparisons). Storm total ...
Land–Atmosphere Interaction Research, Early Results, and Opportunities in the Walnut River Watershed in Southeast Kansas: CASES and ABLE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the development of the Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES), its synergism with the development of the Atmosphere Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) and related efforts, CASES field ...
