Freezing Drizzle Formation in Stably Stratified Layer Clouds: The Role of Radiative Cooling of Cloud Droplets, Cloud Condensation Nuclei, and Ice Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluates the role of 1) low cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) conditions and 2) preferred radiative cooling of large cloud drops as compared to small cloud drops, on cloud droplet spectral broadening and subsequent ...
Radial Velocity and Wind Measurement with NIMA–NWCA: Comparisons with Human Estimation and Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Improved Moments Algorithm (NIMA) calculates the first and second moments (radial velocity and spectral width) of wind-profiler Doppler spectra and provides an evaluation ...
Weather Support to Deicing Decision Making (WSDDM): A Winter Weather Nowcasting System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a winter weather nowcasting system called Weather Support to Deicing Decision Making (WSDDM), designed to provide airline, airport, and air traffic users with winter weather information relevant to ...
