On Mountain Upslope Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equations developed by Ogura (1962) for a two dimensional axially symmetric thermal initiation problem are adjusted to two rectilinear dimensions and used in a numerical study of mountain upslope winds. The winds are ...
A Numerical Study of the Initiation of Cumulus Clouds over Mountainous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initiation of cumulus clouds over mountainous terrain is investigated by means of a numerical model. Two-dimensional motion is simulated over a mountain and valley. Changes at the mountain surface of both temperature ...
A Photogrammetric Study of the Initiation of Cumulus Clouds over Mountainous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initiation of cumulus clouds over mountainous terrain is investigated photogrammetrically. Stereo pairs taken at one- and two-minute intervals are analyzed for four days of cumulus initiation over the Santa Catalina ...
A Review of Cloud Modeling in Weather Modification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The numerical modeling of clouds has a history almost as long as the modern-day concepts of the seeding of clouds. The various models and theoretical developments emerging from the model results are reviewed in this paper. ...
On the Freezing of Liquid Water in a Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique due to Saunders is used to give quantitative information on the amount of heating to be realized from the freezing of liquid water in a cloud. The commonly accepted value of ?C per gram of water frozen per ...
