Abstract: Using results of laboratory experiments on collision-induced raindrop breakup, Low and List (LL) developed a parameterization describing the fragment size distribution (FSD) produced by collisions of raindrops. An equilibrium ...

Abstract: Equilibrium raindrop size distributions with three peaks in number concentration (3PED) result from different breakup types and coalescences. Filament breakup produces drops in the small-drop peak of the 3PED and sheet ...

Abstract: Pulsed input of raindrop packages at the top of one-dimensional shafts, followed by coalescence and breakup during the fall produces, when integrated over time of the whole rainfall, three-peak drop-size distributions ...

Abstract: The release of multiple pulses of rain with durations of 120 s < T < 600 s and pulse repetition periods of 240 s < &tau < 1200 s at the top of one-dimensional shafts, followed by drop coalescence and breakup during the ...

Abstract: During the March 2000 Cloud Intensive Operational Period, the University of North Dakota Citation executed spiral descents through midlatitude cirrus of a nonconvective origin over the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ...

Abstract: Using the scaling of the coalescence and breakup equation, it is shown that for equilibrium distributions, and in particular for three-peak equilibrium distributions (3PEDs), the mean free time (τ) and mean free path (?) ...

Abstract: Recent studies suggest that extensive shields of cirrus clouds over the equatorial Pacific ?warn pool? may have a significant influence on the global climate, yet details of the links between cloud microphysical properties, ...

Abstract: In situ microphysical measurements of three anvils were made 17 March, 1 April, and 4 April 1993 during the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment for several constant altitude penetrations, in the same direction or opposite ...
