Abstract: Numerous studies have indicated the potential for giant and ultragiant aerosol particles to expedite the warm-rain process as a result of their extreme sizes. The central question regarding their importance is, Are they ...

Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds are frequently observed as comprising multiple successive thermals, yet numerical simulations of entrainment have not investigated this level of detail. Here, an idealized simulated cumulus congestus ...

Abstract: modeling framework representing variations in droplet growth by condensation, resulting from different saturation histories experienced as a result of entrainment and mixing, is used to predict the breadth of droplet size ...

Abstract: Meteorological observing networks are nearly always irregularly distributed in space. This irregularity generally has an adverse impact on objective analysis and must be accounted for when designing an analysis scheme. ...

Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds modify their immediate surroundings by detraining their warm, humid updrafts. When clouds are closely spaced, this conditioning of the local environment may alter the properties of the air entrained ...
