Abstract: Measurements of terminal velocities of metal models of plate-like ice crystals in a tank containing various concentrations of glycerol in water suggest that the terminal velocities of a given model can be predicted from ...

Abstract: The growth rates, and the masses to which the crystals grow at different times, are calculated for various temperatures using the electrostatic analogy and assuming that the crystals follow the experimentally observed ...

Abstract: Single unrimed columnar ice crystals (>200 µm in length) from shallow layer clouds were collected in silicone oil, photographed under a microscope, and melted to determine their mass. These ice crystals were representative ...

Abstract: During the Alaskan cold season, the extreme low temperatures that prevail in the interior valleys are significantly modified by valley wind episodes. The infrared sensor on the NOAA polar orbiting satellite clearly detects ...

Abstract: The very high resolution radiometer imagery from the NOAA-3 satellite is used to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of thunderstorms in Alaska. Although the observations presented here are confined to only one ...

Abstract: The results of the cloud seeding experiment in New England, Australia, have been stratified to show different effects of seeding on different daily rainfall totals. No effect was detected on days with an area average ...

Abstract: The ice-nucleating properties of cloud-seeding aerosols produced by burning a solution af AgI and NaI in acetone have been studied in a laboratory cloud chamber. The ice-forming ability of these mixed aerosols is not ...
