Abstract: Previous studies of the spatial distribution of supercooled liquid water in winter storms over mountainous terrain were performed primarily with instrumented aircraft and to a lesser extent with scans from a stationary ...

Abstract: The kinematic behavior of hailstones falling in their natural environment near the surface was studied using stroboscopic photography in a mobile van. The experimental results permitted determination of the shape and ...

Abstract: The effect of seeding convective clouds with dry ice was studied using simultaneous aircraft and radar observations. Clouds that were initially ice-free with supercooled liquid water contents of 0.5 g m?3 when the tops ...

Abstract: Some results of the first (1988) Australian Winter Storms Experiment are described. The results shed light on precipitation-enhancement opportunities in winter cyclonic storms interacting with the Great Dividing Range of ...

Abstract: This Part III of a multipart paper deals with the analysis of turbulent motion in a winter storm, which occurred over the mountains of southwest Utah. The storm was documented with a long duration single Doppler radar ...

Abstract: Cloud physics data measured by aircraft during two successive winter field seasons (1978?79 and 1979?80) of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project operating over the Sierra Nevada Range have been examined in order to determine ...

Abstract: In previous work the derivation of turbulence parameters from single-Doppler radar observations was performed with data acquired along a horizontal circle. Here the technique is extended to all the radar data within a ...

Abstract: The skill of a mesoscale model in predicting orographic precipitation during high-impact precipitation events in the Sierra Nevada, and the sensitivity of that skill to the choice of the microphysical parameterization and ...

Abstract: A winter storm passing across the north?south-orientated Tushar Mountains in southwest Utah is investigated in this multipart paper. This Part I describes the evolving synoptic pattern, mesoscale kinematics, and calculated ...
