Abstract: A new special sonde, the hydrometeor videosonde (HYVIS), has been developed to measure the vertical distribution of hydrometeors in clouds. The HYVIS has two small TV cameras that take pictures of hydrometeors (from 7 ?m ...

Abstract: The ?Wakasa Bay Experiment? was conducted in order to refine error models for oceanic precipitation from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) measurements and to develop algorithms for ...

Abstract: On 25 February 1999, on the western side of the central mountain range of Japan, orographic snow clouds had formed under conditions of weak cold advection due to a winter monsoon after a cyclonic storm. The data from Ka-band ...

Abstract: silver iodide (AgI) cloud-seeding parameterization has been implemented into the Thompson microphysics scheme of the Weather Research and Forecasting model to investigate glaciogenic cloud-seeding effects. The sensitivity ...

Abstract: Optical and microphysical properties of the upper clouds at an altitude range of 5?11 km were measured over Tsukuba, Japan, on 29?30 March 2004 using a ground-based Raman lidar and a balloon-borne hydrometeor videosonde ...

Abstract: On 25 February 1999, due to a winter monsoon after a cyclonic storm, orographic snow clouds formed under conditions of weak cold advection on the western side of the central mountain range of Japan. In this study, the ...

Abstract: ding cloud and precipitation responses to variations in atmospheric aerosols remains an important research topic for improving the prediction of climate. Knowledge is most uncertain, and the potential impact on climate is ...
