Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The microphysical characteristics, radiative impact, and life cycle of a long-lived, surface-based mixed-layer, mixed-phase cloud with an average temperature of approximately ?20°C are presented and discussed. The cloud ...
Mixed-Phase Clouds: Progress and Challenges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMixed-phase clouds represent a three-phase colloidal system consisting of water vapor, ice particles, and coexisting supercooled liquid droplets. Mixed-phase clouds are ubiquitous in the troposphere, occurring at ...
Cloud Ice Properties: In Situ Measurement Challenges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding the formation and evolution of ice in clouds requires detailed information on the size, shape, mass, and optical properties of individual cloud hydrometeors and their bulk properties over a broad range of ...
