Solutions to the Droplet Collection Equation for Polynomial Kernels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical solutions to the droplet collection equation, using certain polynomial approximations to the gravitational collection kernel, are examined to learn whether they usefully describe the evolution of a cloud droplet ...
On Estimating Hail Frequency and Hailfall Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Probabilistic and statistical concepts are used to examine how the number of hail observing sites within a region affects the accuracy of estimates of 1) the mean point frequency of hail within the region, 2) the overall ...
On the Evaluation of the Collection Kernel for the Coalescence of Water Droplets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two anomalies are described which arise in the kernel for stochastic droplet collection when it is specified by the formula of Scott and Chen for the linear collision efficiency y(R,r) and by the formula of Wobus et al. ...
Australian Winter Storms Experiment (AWSE) I: Supercooled Liquid Water and Precipitation-Enhancement Opportunities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some results of the first (1988) Australian Winter Storms Experiment are described. The results shed light on precipitation-enhancement opportunities in winter cyclonic storms interacting with the Great Dividing Range of ...
Australian Winter Mountain Storm Clouds: Precipitation Augmentation Potential
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two Australian winter mountain storm field research projects were conducted by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Division of Atmospheric Research and the Desert Research Institute Atmospheric ...
Investigations of a Winter Mountain Storm in Utah. Part III: Single-Doppler Radar Measurements of Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This Part III of a multipart paper deals with the analysis of turbulent motion in a winter storm, which occurred over the mountains of southwest Utah. The storm was documented with a long duration single Doppler radar ...
A Method of Retrieving Turbulence Parameters from Volume Processing of Single-Doppler Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In previous work the derivation of turbulence parameters from single-Doppler radar observations was performed with data acquired along a horizontal circle. Here the technique is extended to all the radar data within a ...
Some Examples of Rapidly Growing Oceanic Cumulonimbus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared satellite photographs of the tropical oceanic regions within and around the GATE A/B array point to the existence of large, rapidly growing, cumulonimbus clouds. The region along 10°N experiences the greatest ...
The Hailpad: Materials, Data Reduction and Calibration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on work carried out in the National Hail Research Experiment (NHRE) on hailpad materials, on procedures for reducing hailpad data, and on hailpad calibration. A recommendation is made for a pad constructed ...
