On a Criterion Governing the Mode of Cloud Formation in Planetary Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Condensation in vertically moving planetary atmospheric gases containing small quantities of any condensable vapor will occur in updrafts only if the latent heat of the viper is sufficiently large, otherwise the condensation ...
Cloud Nucleation on Insoluble Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theory of heterogeneous nucleation on partially-wettable insoluble spherical particles as developed by Fletcher is used to obtain relations readily applicable in the meteorologically important limit of low supersaturation ...
EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC FIELDS ON WATER-DROPLET COALESCENCE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Growth of incipient precipitation particles by collision and coalescence with cloud droplets is one of the primary mechanisms of natural rain. Comparison of previous research shows wide divergence between various theoretical ...
