Abstract: Schlesinger's (1978) three-dimensional cumulus model is applied to showering congestus clouds on day 261 of GATE. Adjustments are made to the microphysical and turbulent parameterizations, the former to be consistent with ...

Abstract: A reasonably accurate and noniterative saturation adjustment scheme is proposed to calculate the amount of condensation (and/or deposition) necessary to remove any supersaturated vapor, or amount of evaporation (and/or ...

Abstract: The GATE data base for days 261 and 186 is used for a combined observational and numerical investigation of interacting cumulus processes that may be important in the generation of waterspouts. The results suggest that the ...

Abstract: A simple algorithm to estimate the latent heating of cloud systems from their vertical hydrometer profiles is proposed. The derivation as well as the validation of the algorithm is based on output generated by a non-hydrostatic ...

Abstract: A large number of predictions from a regional numerical weather prediction model known as the Mesoscale Atmospheric Simulation System (MASS 2.0) am verified against routinely collected observations to determine the model's ...
