Abstract: AbstractAs hydrometeors fall within or from a cloud, they reach a terminal velocity because of friction with the air through which they settle. This friction has previously been shown to result in significant vertically ...

Abstract: AbstractThe use of bin or bulk microphysics schemes in model simulations frequently produces large changes in the simulated storm and precipitation characteristics, but it is still unclear which aspects of these schemes ...

Abstract: n this two-part study, relationships between the cloud gamma size distribution shape parameter, microphysical processes, and cloud characteristics of nonprecipitating shallow cumulus clouds are investigated using large-eddy ...

Abstract: n this two-part study, the relationships between the width of the cloud droplet size distribution and the microphysical processes and cloud characteristics of nonprecipitating shallow cumulus clouds are investigated using ...

Abstract: ingle-moment microphysics schemes have long enjoyed popularity for their simplicity and efficiency. However, in this article it is argued through theoretical considerations, idealized thunderstorm simulations, and ...

Abstract: n extratropical cyclone that crossed the United States on 9?11 April 2009 was successfully simulated at high resolution (3-km horizontal grid spacing) using the Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System. ...

Abstract: AbstractRadar is an important tool for investigating and forecasting processes in Earth?s atmosphere. More specifically, multiple frequencies of radar with sensitivities to cloud and precipitation regimes are important for ...
