Abstract: The concept of droplet spectrum local broadening and narrowing is introduced. It is shown that a cloud droplet spectrum may be narrowed at one size interval and broadened at another simultaneously. Numerical simulations ...

Abstract: A new conceptual model is proposed for enhanced cloud droplet growth during condensation. Rapid droplet growth may occur in zones of high supersaturation resulting from isobaric mixing of saturated volumes with different ...

Abstract: A theoretical framework is developed to estimate the supersaturation in liquid, ice, and mixed-phase clouds. An equation describing supersaturation in mixed-phase clouds in general form is considered here. The solution for ...

Abstract: In situ measurements of microphysics conditions, obtained during 38 research flights into winter storms, have been used to characterize the performance of a Rosemount Icing Detector (RID). Characteristics of the RID were ...

Abstract: A remote sensing method is proposed for the retrievals of vertical profiles of ice cloud microphysical parameters from ground-based measurements of radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity with a vertically pointed cloud ...

Abstract: In situ microphysics measurements made during the First and Third Canadian Freezing Drizzle Experiments (CFDE I and III, respectively) have been used to assess the relative responses to ice and liquid hydrometeors for ...

Abstract: The water vapor deposition growth of frozen drops with diameter greater than 100 ?m has been studied in a thermal diffusion chamber. For varying periods of time, it was found that frozen drops experience spherical growth. ...

Abstract: A customized product for analysis of microphysics data collected from aircraft during field campaigns in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) program is described. These ?common microphysics products? ...
