Abstract: Cloud droplets may take a variety of paths to reach some location in a cloud and therefore may encounter varying growth conditions. This paper examines the effect of these variations on broadening of the droplet size ...

Abstract: The characteristic of aircraft icing environments containing large supercooled droplets are described. Substantial loss in rate of climb capability can result from less than 10 minutes duration in conditions where fewer ...

Abstract: The relatively simple orographic clouds forming in winter over Elk Mountain, Wyoming provided useful opportunities for field studies of cloud formation and of ice crystal development. In this paper, the observations of ...

Abstract: An automated procedure is developed for detecting and forecasting atmospheric conditions conductive to aircraft icing over the continental United States. The procedure uses gridded output from the Nested-Grid Model, and ...

Abstract: Sulfur hexafluoride was released at the base of a small nonprecipitating warm cumulus to study cloud mixing and entrainment processes. The tracer gas traveled to the top of the cloud where, during a 2.5 min period, it had ...

Abstract: The quasi-steady supersaturation in cumulus clouds from the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment of 1981 are calculated from measurements of vertical wind, cloud droplet size, temperature and pressure. Mean ...

Abstract: The in-flight icing environment in northeastern Colorado is described through remote and in situ measurements. Four field efforts in the winters of 1990 through 1994 were conducted in the area, and comprehensive datasets ...

Abstract: The seeding of clouds in Miles City, Montana with AgI pyrotechnics at cloud tops generally produced large increases in ice particle concentrations, decreases in liquid water contents, and increases in precipitation particles ...

Abstract: During the 1990 Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP), a shallow cold front passed through northeastern Colorado, followed by a secondary cold front. A broad high pressure area behind the initial front set up a Denver ...
