Laboratory Measurements of Spontaneous Oscillations for Moderate-Size Raindrops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The natural oscillations of moderate-size raindrops were studied in a seven-story fall column using a computer-controlled generator to produce isolated water drops at terminal speed. Instantaneous shapes were photographed ...
Laboratory Measurements of Small Raindrop Distortion. Part 2: Oscillation Frequencies and Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The oscillation frequencies and modes of small raindrops (1.04?1.54-mm diameter) were determined from laboratory experiments using water drops generated at terminal velocity at a fall distance sufficient for initial ...
Laboratory Measurements of Small Raindrop Distortion. Part I: Axis Ratios and Fall Behavior
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The resonant interactions between eddy shedding and drop oscillations postulated by Gunn for millimeter diameter raindrops were investigated in a series of laboratory measurements of axis ratio and fall behavior for water ...
An Educational Deployment of the NCAR Mobile Integrated Sounding System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe best way to train the next wave of observational talent is through direct experience. In 2012 and again in 2014, students at St. Cloud State University (SCSU) welcomed deployments of professional atmospheric ...
