Microprobe Analysis of Project DUSTORM Hailstone Samples
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Electron microproble X-ray analysis was used to determine the origin and composition of particulate matter found in hailstones produced during severe storms in the midwestern and central United States. Ratios of aluminum, ...
The Liquid Water Content of Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calorimetric measurements of hailstones in Kenya, Africa, showed that 57% of the samples contained no water; these hailstones were described as hard. The average water content for the remaining samples was 4.2% almost all ...
A Calorimetric Method for Measuring Water Content of Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A calorimetric method for measuring the liquid water content of hailstones has been developed. When parameters such as the radiative losses of the system and the changes in heat capacity of the apparatus are eliminated by ...
