Abstract: The radar backscattering cross sections of spongy hailstones are considerably influenced by the topological structure of the water-ice mixture. Observational evidence suggests that such an inhomogeneous composite medium ...

Abstract: Volatile properties of aerosols at an isolated rural site in south-central New Mexico were measured with a light-scattering particle counter equipped with a temperature-controlled heated inlet. Intermittent measurements ...

Abstract: Mie single scattering, absorption, and total extinction calculations for various size distribution and composition models of the stratospheric aerosol are presented. These models are derived from global in-situ measurements ...

Abstract: Measurement of cloud drop size distributions with the Knollenberg model FSSP-100 light-scattering counter can lead to artificial bumps or knees in the distributions at ?0.6 ?m and sometimes 2?4 ?m radius if the ...

Abstract: The results of over 70 balloon soundings, by the University of Wyoming's Atmospheric Physics Group mostly during 1972 and 1973 from a number of stations, are being utilized in a study of the temporal and spatial distribution ...

Abstract: A linear relationship, independent of the form of the size-distribution, between extinction at wave-lengths around ? = 11 µm, absorption around ? = 3.8 and 9.5 µm, and liquid water content of atmospheric fogs has been ...

Abstract: A field adapted spectrophone system employing a tuneable CO2 laser source (over wavelengths 9.2?10.8 ?m) was used to measure atmospheric gaseous and particulate absorption at an isolated desert location in the southwestern ...

Abstract: Vertical structure of the size distribution and number concentration of particulates in atmospheric fog and haze near Grafenwöhr, West Germany, were measured with a balloonborne light-scattering aerosol counter for periods ...
