Abstract: An occluded front moving over Washington State was investigated with serial rawinsonde ascents, aircraft penetrations, raingage measurements and conventional observations. The rawinsonde data showed that the frontal system ...

Abstract: Doppler radar data and airborne cloud microphysical measurements obtained in the CYCLES PROJECT indicate that a warm-frontal rainband in an extratropical cyclone was characterized by a precipitation process in which clouds ...

Abstract: Detailed information is deduced on the mesoscale organization of precipitation, the structures of the clouds, the air flows associated with mesoscale rainbands, and the precipitation efficiencies and the mechanisms producing ...
