Precipitation Processes within an Alberta Supercell Hailstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An investigation was made into the precipitation processes operating within an Alberta supercell hailstorm which occurred on 22 July 1979. The main research tools employed in the study were an instrumented aircraft and an ...
Aircraft Microphysical Documentation from Cloud Base to Anvils of Hailstorm Feeder Clouds in Argentina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Documentation during January and February 2000 of the structure of severe convective storms in Mendoza, Argentina, with a cloud-physics jet aircraft penetrating the major feeder clouds from cloud base to the ?45°C isotherm ...
An Examination of Double-Plate Ice Crystals and the Initiation of Precipitation in Continental Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements within continental convective clouds in the Highveld region of South Africa indicate that the first appreciable nucleation of ice occurs between the ?9° to ?12°C levels as the cloud top rises through these ...
Spatial Forecasts of Maximum Hail Size Using Prognostic Model Soundings and HAILCAST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forecasting the occurrence of hail and the maximum hail size is a challenging problem. This paper investigates the feasibility of producing maps of the forecast maximum hail size over the Canadian prairies using 12-h ...
The Dispersion of Silver Iodide Particles from Ground-Based Generators over Complex Terrain. Part I: Observations with Acoustic Ice Nucleus Counters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: art I of this paper presents the results from a series of plume-tracing flights over the Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre Ranges in south-central Wyoming. These flights, conducted during February and early March of 2011, were ...
