A Wind Tunnel Study on the Shape, Oscillation, and Internal Circulation of Large Raindrops with Sizes between 2.5 and 7.5 mm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation prediction using weather radars requires detailed knowledge of the shape parameters of raindrops falling at their terminal velocities in air. Because the raindrops undergo oscillation, the most important shape ...
Riming of Graupel: Wind Tunnel Investigations of Collection Kernels and Growth Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Laboratory experiments were carried out in the vertical wind tunnel in Mainz, Germany, to study the collision coalescence growth of single spherical ice particles having initial radii between 290 and 380 ?m while they were ...
Laboratory Studies of Scattering Properties of Polluted Cloud Droplets: Implications for FSSP Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted in the Mainz vertical wind tunnel to study the effects of pollutants dissolved or suspended in cloud droplets on the droplet size measurements of a Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe ...
