Precipitation Development in Natural and Seeded Cumulus Clouds in Southern Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of precipitation was studied in southern Africa in 23 clouds, 12 unseeded and 11 seeded, from 11 days during the Bethlehem Precipitation Research Project. Surface and upper air data were used to describe ...
On the Possible Use of Copolar Correlation Coefficient for Improving the Drop Size Distribution Estimates at C Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A decrease in copolar correlation coefficient (?co) at C band has been observed for several rain events with broad drop size distributions (DSDs). Observational evidence comes from simultaneous measurements with a C-band ...
Application of Dual-Polarization Radar Melting-Layer Detection Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A polarimetric melting-layer detection algorithm developed for an S-band radar has been modified for use by the King City C-band radar in southern Ontario, Canada. The technique ingests radar scan volume data to determine ...
Dynamical and Microphysical Characteristics of Arctic Clouds during BASE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, observations from aircraft, Doppler radar, and LANDSAT are used to better understand dynamical and microphysical characteristics of low-level Arctic clouds for climate change studies. Observations during the ...
The Mesoscale Dynamics of Freezing Rain Storms over Eastern Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A severe ice storm affected the east coast of Canada during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Project II. A hierarchy of cloud-resolving model simulations of this storm was performed with the objective of enhancing understanding ...
