A Linear Radar Reflectivity–Rainrate Relationship for Steady Tropical Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Modeling by Gillesple and List established the evolution to equilibrium of raindrop number distributions in one-dimensional shaft models. Donaldson and List et al. (LDS) then demonstrated mathematically that equilibrium ...
Physics of Supercooling of Thin Water Skins Covering Gyrating Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Liquid water skins on spongy deposits of hailstones that grow while gyrating in a wind tunnel environment, have been routinely observed to be supercooled at the water skin?air interface to as low as ?5°C and more. The ...
On the Effect of Explosion Waves on Hailstone Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hollow spheres filled with ethylenedichloride and snowballs of low mechanical cohesion drenched in water were exposed to blast waves. They did not show any effect that could be attributed to the explosion of 1 kg TNT at ...
New Hailstone Physics. Part I: Heat and Mass Transfer (HMT) and Growth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n all-encompassing new theory of heat and mass transfer (HMT) and growth equations have been developed for freely falling spherical hailstones with diameters of 0.5?8 cm. The initial six variables are diameter, liquid water ...
New Hailstone Physics. Part II: Interaction of the Variables
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he reduction of parameter dimensions in Part I is complemented by the compaction of parameter space in Part II. The range of diameters is 0.5 ≤ D ≤ 8 cm, and the assumed liquid water content varies within 1 ≤ Wf ≤ 3 for ...
Weather Modification—a Scenario for the Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ever-increasing severe economic damage imposed on national and world wide economies by severe weather, the need for sufficient and safe water resources for an increasing world population, and the threat of adverse ...
