RISThe Influence of Successive Thermals on Entrainment and Dilution in a Simulated Cumulus Congestus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds are frequently observed as comprising multiple successive thermals, yet numerical simulations of entrainment have not investigated this level of detail. Here, an idealized simulated cumulus congestus ...
Cloud-Spacing Effects upon Entrainment and Rainfall along a Convective Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds modify their immediate surroundings by detraining their warm, humid updrafts. When clouds are closely spaced, this conditioning of the local environment may alter the properties of the air entrained ...
A Multisensor Investigation of Rime Splintering in Tropical Maritime Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree flights from the Ice in Clouds Experiment?Tropical (ICE-T) field campaign examined the onset of ice near the ascending cloud tops of tropical maritime cumuli as they cooled from 0° to ?14°C. Careful quantitative ...
On Different Microphysical Pathways to Convective Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) documented the dynamical and microphysical evolution of convection in southwestern England for testing and improving quantitative precipitation forecasting. A strong ...
