Aggregation of Ice Crystals in Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are given from analysis of the aggregation of thick plate, columnar, and bullet rosette ice crystals in cirrus. Data were obtained from PMS 2D-C images, oil coated slides, and aircraft meteorological measurements. ...
An Improved Approach to Calculating Terminal Velocities of Plate-like Crystals and Graupel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of 461 planar crows and 312 graupel reported by Kajikawa have been used to develop equations for calculating the terminal velocity and mass of lump and conical graupel and of planar crystals of a variety of ...
A General Approach for Deriving the Properties of Cirrus and Stratiform Ice Cloud Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new approach is described for calculating the mass (m) and terminal velocity (Vt) of ice particles from airborne and balloon-borne imaging probe data as well as its applications for remote sensing and modeling studies. ...
