Abstract: Moisture data from radar and rawinsonde observations during three lake-effect snow events are analyzed to determine entrainment rates. Type I convective boundary layers, which are those driven largely by surface heating, ...

Abstract: The turbulence and mean structure of oceanic stratocumulus was studied using aircraft data collected during the summer of 1976 off the coast of California. Three cloud-topped mixed layers were studied in detail. They ...

Abstract: The GATE data base for days 261 and 186 is used for a combined observational and numerical investigation of interacting cumulus processes that may be important in the generation of waterspouts. The results suggest that the ...

Abstract: Snowstorms generated over the Great Lakes bring localized heavy precipitation, blizzard conditions, and whiteouts to downwind shores. Hazardous freezing rain often affects the same region in winter. Conventional observations ...
