Sudden Enhancements of F-Layer Ionization in Polar Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the morphology of large sporadic enhancements of F-region electron density in the darkened portions of the polar cap reveals a close connection between ?sporadic F? and ionospheric current systems. This connection ...
Analysis of Precipitation Augmentation Potential in Winter Orographic Clouds by Use of Aircraft Icing Reports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft icing reports from northern Utah and southeastern Idaho along with radiosonde and precipitation data for six winter seasons are utilized in an analysis of precipitation augmentation potential in winter orographic ...
Laboratory Calibration of a Vibrating Wire Device for Measuring Concentrations of Supercooled Liquid Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Laboratory measurements of supercooled liquid water are made by a vibrating-wire sensor whose frequency of vibration varies according to the mass of ice collected on it. The vibrating-wire system is designed to be placed ...
Fog Effect of the Great Salt Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of the Great Salt Lake on the frequency and geographical extent of wintertime fog is analyzed by use of fog reports, precipitation, and temperature records over a 25-yr period, during which time the size of the ...
Analysis of Supercooled Liquid Water Measurements Using Microwave Radiometer and Vibrating Wire Devices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review is made of the theoretical basis for using a vibrating wire to measure supercooled liquid water in clouds. The device consists of a vibrating wire and associated electronics added to radiosondes. The sensing wire ...
Factors Controlling the Size and Spacing of Cumulus Clouds as Revealed by Numerical Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Factors controlling the size and spacing of cumulus clouds are determined by the numerical integration of a compressible set of hydrodynamic equations for an atmosphere with saturation processes and cloud microphysics ...
Further Comparisons of Simultaneous Airborne and Radiometric Measurements of Supercooled Liquid Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of supercooled liquid water were made by an instrumented aircraft and a microwave radiometer at Muskegon, Michigan during wintertime. The purpose was to confirm recent findings that there is good ...
Development and Application of a Predicator Control for the Evaluation of a Winter Orographic Cloud Seeding Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evaluation of an operational-type winter cloud seeding project in Utah is made by developing meteorological predictors of target precipitation. Predictors (covariates) are developed by matching 1200 GMT rawinsonde data and ...
