Collision, Coalescence and Breakup of Raindrops. Part II: Parameterization of Fragment Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The experimental drop collision/breakup results of Low (1977) and Low and List (1982) and McTaggart-Cowan and List (1975b), taken at laboratory pressure and terminal drop speeds, were parameterized for future use in cloud ...
Collision, Coalescence and Breakup of Raindrops. Part I: Experimentally Established Coalescence Efficiencies and Fragment Size Distributions in Breakup
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The collision, coalescence and breakup of single raindrop pairs were studied at terminal velocities and laboratory pressure (100 kPa) in 761 collision experiments (out of 14 000 attempts). Six size combinations were used ...
Collisions of Raindrops with Chaff
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess the entrainment by rain of chaff which is used to track air motions by radar. Experiments are described where 214 individual water drops with diameters of 4.9 mm and falling at 78% ...
Nonlinear Optimal Estimation of Temperature and Integrated Water Vapor and Liquid Using a Ground-based Microwave Radiometer in Coastal Winter Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric temperature profiles and integrated water vapor and liquid are retrieved from ground-based microwave radiometric measurements using both nonlinear optimal estimation (NLOE) and statistical inversion (SI) methods. ...
Precipitation and Environmental Conditions during Accretion in Canadian East Coast Winter Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation and environmental conditions occurring during accretion in Canadian east coast winter storms are described and investigated. Accretion is generally associated with snow, freezing rain, and ice pellets within ...
