A Preliminary Investigation of Factors Affecting the Coalescence of Colliding Water Drops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described by which the coalescence process can be examined for different drop and droplet sizes. Preliminary experiments show that factors such as the velocity of collision, the angle of impact, the surface ...
Precipitation Development in Natural and Seeded Cumulus Clouds in Southern Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of precipitation was studied in southern Africa in 23 clouds, 12 unseeded and 11 seeded, from 11 days during the Bethlehem Precipitation Research Project. Surface and upper air data were used to describe ...
A Numerical Experiment on the Growth and Feedback Mechanisms of Hailstones in a One-Dimensional Steady-State Model Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calculations are made on the growth of hailstone embryos of given size and concentration which are injected into a one-dimensional steady-state updraft, and grow while ascending, the updraft obeying the condition that ?Vs ...
Temporal Evolution of Drop Spectra to Collisional Equilibrium in Steady and Pulsating Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of raindrop spectra by collisional breakup is examined analytically and modelled in box and 1-dimensional shaft models, using the parameterization of Low and List. The significant analytical result shows that ...
Heat Exchange Ratios of Hailstones in a Model Cloud and their Simulation in a Laboratory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calculations are presented of the relative contributions of heat exchange by conduction and convection, by evaporation, and by the supercooling of accreted drops to the total heat exchange of growing spherical hailstones. ...
The Rain Enhancement Experiment in Puglia, Italy: Statistical Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A randomized rain enhancement experiment was carried out during 1988?94 in the area of Bari and Canosa, Italy, on the Adriatic coast. It was commissioned by the Italian Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the region ...
AIRBORNE MEASUREMENTS OF ATOMIC DEBRIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary purpose of this article is the documentation of radioactivity data collected by airborne equipment during the first of the Nevada atomic tests. While absolute magnitudes of activity are not available, the ...
