RISMeasurement of Cloud Perturbation Pressures Using an Instrumented Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ertical accelerations during the early stages of convective cloud formation are often the result of buoyancy and the perturbation vertical pressure gradient forces. Convection modifies the local pressure field surrounding ...
Droplet Concentration and Spectral Broadening in Southeast Pacific Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: everal airborne field experiments have been conducted to verify model descriptions of cloud droplet activation. Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei and updraft are inputs to a parcel model that predicts droplet ...
Observations of Large Wind Shear above the Marine Boundary Layer near Point Buchon, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: articularly strong winds along the coast of Southern California on 24 May 2012 were measured by the Wyoming King Air research aircraft during the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE). The fast ...
Synthesis of observations from the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esearch flights during the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE) in southern California during May-June 2012 focused on three main features found in the near-shore marine boundary layer (MBL): ...
Aircraft Measurements and Numerical Simulations of an Expansion Fan off the California Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ountains along the California coastline play a critical role in the dynamics of marine atmospheric boundary layer (MBL) airflow in the vicinity of the shoreline. Large changes in the MBL topology have been known to occur ...
Aircraft Observations of a Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal off the California Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The summertime marine atmospheric boundary layer off the California coast is normally characterized by northerly winds associated with the Pacific high. This pattern is occasionally disturbed by episodes of southerly winds ...
Airborne Measurements of Coastal Jet Transition around Point Conception, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ow-level winds along the Californian coast during spring and early summer are typically strong and contained within the cool, well-mixed marine boundary layer (MBL). A temperature inversion separates the MBL from the warmer ...
Coastal Jet Adjustment near Point Conception, California, with Opposing Wind in the Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ypical spring and summer conditions offshore of California consist of strong northerly low-level wind contained within the cool, well-mixed marine boundary layer (MBL) that is separated from the warm and dry free troposphere ...
Structure and Statistical Analysis of the Microphysical Properties of Generating Cells in the Comma Head Region of Continental Winter Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents analyses of the microphysical structure of cloud-top convective generating cells at temperatures between ?10° and ?55°C across the comma head of 11 continental cyclones, using data collected by the W-band ...
Microphysical Properties of Convectively Generated Fall Streaks within the Stratiform Comma Head Region of Continental Winter Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents analyses of the microphysical structure of comma head stratiform precipitation in 14 continental cyclones, focusing on fall streaks of hydrometeors produced by cloud-top convective generating cells. Data ...
