Surface Sampling of a Snowstorm by a 2D-C Probe with and without Aspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 2D-C probe was mounted on the front of a truck for operation in a horizontal orientation, as on an aircraft, and also in a vertical orientation using an aspirator. A snowstorm with calm conditions was sampled by alternatively ...
Some Observations on Mountain-Generated Cumulonimbus Rainfall on the Northern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the influence of mountain-generated cumulonimbus systems on the rainfall of the northern Great Plains, using daily rainfalls and satellite images, has shown the seasonal variations and areal extent of the rain ...
Some Techniques and Uses of 2D-C Habit Classification Software for Snow Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique has been designed that uses observable properties of images from a 2D-C optical array probe (size, linearity, area, perimeter, and image density) to classify unsymmetrical ice particles into nine habit classes. ...
Lake-Effect Cloud Bands as Seen From Weather Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite photographs of the TIROS and ESSA series were examined for the presence and dimensions of lake-effect clouds over the Great Lakes and Gulf of St. Lawrence. It was found that nearly all lake-effect clouds occurred ...
Snowfall from a Heavily Seeded Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Few documented cases exist to demonstrate that highly convective supercooled clouds can be completely glaciated or overseeded. By ?overseeding? we imply a sufficient concentration of ice nuclei to accommodate all the water ...
Observations of Silver Iodide Plumes over the Grand Mesa of Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of wintertime airborne tracing experiments was examined to determine some characteristics of the plumes of silver iodide smoke released either from the ground or from an aircraft over the Grand Mesa of Colorado. ...
The Practicability of Dry Ice for On-Top Seeding of Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dry ice is shown to be an attractive agent for on-top seeding of convective clouds. A modest payload of small dry ice pellets can effectively seed dozens of clouds, depending on cloud volumes encountered and crystal ...
The Densities and Growth Rates of Ice Crystals between −5C and −9C
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mass of columnar ice crystals between ?5C and ?9C has been measured as a function of time. It is shown that the measured growth rates are not markedly different from the empirical formula proposed by Hindman and Johnson. ...
