The Sublimation of Dry Ice Pellets Used for Cloud Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model has been developed to investigate the sublimation rate of cylindrical dry ice pellets in clear and cloudy air. Experiments conducted in the University of Alberta FROST icing-wind tunnel were used to make ...
A Time-Dependent Numerical Model for Spherically Symmetric Hailstone Growth Thermodynamics under Constant Ambient Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of spherical hailstone growth thermodynamics is presented, and used to examine the validity of the continuous growth and heat balance assumptions frequently employed in the ?classical? hail growth models. The model ...
On the Calibration of Hailpads
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of the vertical collision of a sphere with a hailpad predicts that the dent volume is proportional to the impact kinetic energy, and gives a relationship between dent diameter and sphere diameter for ice spheres. ...
The Icing of an Unheated, Nonrotating Cylinder. Part I: A Simulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model is described which simulates icing on an unheated, non-rotating cylinder. Both rime and glaze ice can be accounted for. The model computes the thermodynamic conditions and the initial icing rate as a function of ...
The Icing of an Unheated, Nonrotating Cylinder. Part II. Icing Wind Tunnel Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental investigation of icing on non-rotating cylinders, under both wet and dry conditions was undertaken. Airspeeds of 30, 61 and 122 m s?1 appropriate to aircraft icing, liquid water contents of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 ...
The Use of Cumulative Monthly Mean Temperature Anomalies in the Analysis of Local Interannual Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Edmonton monthly mean temperature record has been examined using the concept of the cumulative high frequency monthly mean temperature anomaly, I. The time sequence of I is shown to exhibit bounded, oscillatory, ...
