The Characteristics and Evolution of Supercooled Water in Wintertime Storms over the Sierra Nevada: A Summary of Microwave Radiometric Measurements Taken during the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive examination of the evolution and vertical distribution of supercooled liquid water in Sierra Nevada winter storms was completed as part of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project. Measurements of supercooled ...
Radiometric Observations of Supercooled Liquid Water within a Split Front over the Sierra Nevada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A storm bearing close structural resemblance to a katafront was observed from the ground with microwave radiometry and a vertically pointing Ka-band radar over the Sierra Nevada of California. The onset and duration of ...
The Influence of Cloud Droplets on the Measurement of Ice Particle Concentrations with a Particle Measuring System's 2DC Optical Array Probe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Particle Measuring System's 2DC optical array probe has been used as a primary instrument to measure ice particle concentrations since its introduction in 1976. In certain mixed-phase clouds containing cloud droplets ...
Supercooled Liquid Water and Ice Crystal Distributions Within Sierra Nevada Winter Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud physics data measured by aircraft during two successive winter field seasons (1978?79 and 1979?80) of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project operating over the Sierra Nevada Range have been examined in order to determine ...
