Parameterization of Droplet Terminal Velocity and Extinction Coefficient in Fog Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fog droplet spectra data were obtained in several advection fogs at the AFGL Weather Test Facility at Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts, using two PMS forward-scatter spectrometer probes (FSSP-100). Approximately ...
Fog Drop-Size Distributions Measured with a Laser Hologram Camera
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fog drop sizes were measured with a laser hologram camera. The camera samples volumes up to 4.5 cm2 at a rate of five samples per minute. The measured distribution is relatively unaffected by the measuring technique, since ...
A Modern Thermo-Kinetic Warm Fog Dispersal System for Commercial Airports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An extensive investigation has been made to arrive at near-optimum specifications for a thermo-kinetic warm fog dispersal system. This study included passive heat tests, subscale heat/momentum tests, and tests with a single ...
A Numerical Model of Warm Fog Dissipation by Hygroscopic Particle Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model has been developed which simulates the modification of warm fog caused by the condensation-coalescence growth of monodispersed hygroscopic particles introduced into the top of a fog layer. With this model, ...
A Comparison of the Warm Fog Clearing Capabilities of Some Hygroscopic Materials
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The chemical properties of hygroscopic materials are evaluated to determine the desirable characteristics of in effective warm fog seeding agent. A numerical model is used to determine the relative fog clearing capabilities ...
THE ARCTIC CIRCULATION IN SUMMER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On the basis of a number of synoptic and synoptical-climatological studies, the following picture of the arctic circulation in summer is presented. A secondary baroclinic zone, distinct from the polar front, develops along ...
An Evaluation of Some Thermal Fog Dispersal Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thermal fog dispersal tests were conducted by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories during July 1972 at Vandenberg AFB, California. The experimental heating system consisted of an array of passive liquid propane ...
