Twenty Years of Airborne Research at the University of Washington
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wherein is revealed the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of operating an aircraft for atmospheric research at a university over the past 20 years.
Ice Multiplication in Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of the concentration of ice particles and ice nuclei in natural clouds have shown that the concentration of ice particles can be several orders of magnitude greater than the concentration of ice ...
The Nature of Winter Clouds and Precipitation in the Cascade Mountains and their Modification by Artificial Seeding. Part III: Case Studies of the Effects of Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three case studies are described in which detailed airborne and ground observations were made in order to evaluate the effects of artificial seeding from the air on cloud structure and snowfall on the ground in a small ...
The Nature of Winter Clouds and Precipitation in the Cascade Mountains and their Modification by Artificial Seeding. Part I: Natural Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the first of three papers describing field investigations, carried out from 1969 to 1974, of winter clouds and precipitation in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, and physical evaluations of their modification ...
Organization and Structure of Clouds and Precipitation on the Mid-Atlantic Coast of the United States. Part IV: Retrieval of the Thermodynamic and Cloud Microphysical Structures of a Frontal Rainband from Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermodynamic and cloud structure of a relatively weak wintertime frontal rainband are derived from dual-Doppler radar measurements, soundings and high resolution surface observations, and with a cloud model. These ...
The Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones. Part XIV: Three-Dimensional Airflow and Vorticity Budget of Rainbands in a Warm Occlusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two rainbands in a young, warm occlusion are examined using dual-Doppler radar data and supporting mesoscale measurements. The high density of measurements permits the structure of the weak vertical motions associated with ...
