On Precipitation Mechanisms and their Artificial Modification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Natural precipitation processes are re-examined on the basis of accumulated knowledge of the microphysical aspects and field observations, with particular attention to the implications for cloud seeding. It appears that ...
ON THE ANNUAL HEAT BALANCE OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The increased knowledge of atmospheric radiation during the last twenty years has made it desirable to re-compute the heat balance of the northern hemisphere. Insofar as possible the computations are based on observational ...
A PRELIMINARY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION MECHANISMS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The two principal physical mechanisms for the formation of precipitation are considered to be the Bergeron-Findeisen ice-crystal process and the collision of particles of unlike size in the gravitational field. Quantitative ...
ON THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FOG AND CLOUD WATER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The partial chemical analysis of some ninety samples of fog and cloud water is reported. The fog samples were collected at four locations along the northeast coast of North America, and the cloud samples were obtained on ...
A THEORY OF ENTRAINMENT IN CONVECTIVE CURRENTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is held that entrainment is a necessary dynamic consequence of the vertical stretching of an accelerated convective column. On this basis, equations are developed for the rate of entrainment, the vertical divergence and ...
