The Role of Aerosol Particles in the Formation of Raindrops and Hailstones in Severe Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variable concentrations of different sized water-insoluble particles were found in bulk rainwater and single raindrops (liquid phase) and in hailstones (solid phase) collected from severe thunderstorms in the Colorado-Nebraska ...
Freezing Nuclei Derived from Soil Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The majority of hydrosol particles in the submicron range in precipitation are produced by separation from the surfaces of larger hydrosolized aerosol particles. Sail particles may produce freezing nuclei active between ...
Natural Ice-Forming Nuclei in Severe Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are two populations of aerosol particles in severe storms: normal background aerosol and aerosolized soil particles. Concentration of the latter, which depends on local wind speed and soil conditions, may be orders ...
