The Aggregation of Ice Particles in Clouds and Fogs at Low Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A previously derived theoretical expression, supported by experimental observations, for the rate of sintering between two ice spheres is applied to the case of adhesion between ice particles down to temperatures of ?40C. ...
The Formation of Sulfate in Water Droplets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous theoretical studies of the formation of sulfate in the SO2-NH3-liquid H2O system have not considered in a rigorous manner the chemical equilibrium equations, and have failed to provide a satisfactory explanation ...
The Electrification of an Ice Sphere Moving through Natural Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements have been made of the electric charge acquired by an ice sphere as the result of whirling it through various types of natural cloud and snowfall. The sphere received an appreciable charge only if ice were ...
Measurement of Cloud Condensation Nuclei, Light Scattering Coefficient, Sodium-Containing Particles, and Aitken Nuclei in the Olympic Mountains of Washington
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements have been made of the concentrations of cloud condensation nuclei, sodium-containing particles, Aitken nuclei, and the magnitude of the light scattering coefficient of the air, for a period of two ...
Charging of Ice Spheres Due to Collisions with Ice Crystals and the Electrification of Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sources of the electrical charges acquired by ice spheres rotated through natural cloud or precipitation particles are considered. In general, the steady charge that a sphere receives in such experiments derives from ...
The Influence of Environmental Parameters on the Freezing and Fragmentation of Suspended Water Drops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fragmentation of freezing water droplets in natural clouds has been postulated by several workers, and this phenomenon has been observed in numerous laboratory investigations. However, the profound effect that environmental ...
The Fragmentation of Freezing Water Droplets in Free Fall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fragmentation of water droplets during freezing has not been previously established under conditions which resemble those in natural clouds. In laboratory experiments designed to investigate this phenomenon it is ...
An Automatic Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud condensation nuclei counter has been developed in which the concentration of water droplets which form on cloud condensation nuclei in a large thermal diffusion chamber is determined electronically by measuring the ...
Further Analyses of the Climax Cloud-Seeding Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A further examination of the Climax I and II randomized cloud-seeding experiments has revealed the following. 1) Cloud seeding had no effect on precipitation in Climax I after the control stations had been chosen halfway ...
