The Growth Characteristics of Small Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical growth, diameters and trajectories of cumulus clouds observed over the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Ariz., were determined from photogrammetric measurements. New clouds formed in a small, well defined ...
A Numerical Simulation of Warm Cumulus Clouds: Part I. Parameterized vs Non-Parameterized Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A time-dependent, one-dimensional model of the life cycle of an isolated warm cumulus cloud is presented that combines the vertical equation of motion, the equation of mass continuity, the first law of thermodynamics, and ...
The Classification of Ambiguous Ice Particle Shadowgraphs by Consensus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A major impediment to the development of computer algorithms for the automatic classification of ice particle types found in the atmosphere as measured by a Particle Measuring System two-dimensional probe is the difficulty ...
A Two-Dimensional Hydrometeor Machine Classifier Derived from Observed Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Classification algorithms have been developed to distinguish six categories of cloud ice particles. These algorithms have been incorporated in schema which, when applied to shadowgraph images produced by the Precision ...
