Measurements of Local Density in Artificial and Natural Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Local density measurements were performed in the internal structure of hailstones by means of photometric observations on x-ray micrographs of thin slices. Comparison with the results of measurements performed by the same ...
Chlorides in Natural and Artificial Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A membrane filter technique for precisely locating chlorides on any prepared ice surface has been tested on hailstone cross sections. Chloride patterns, different in intensity in the various growth stages of the hailstones, ...
Effects of Growth Temperatures and Surface Roughness on Crystal Orientation of Ice Accreted in a Dry Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dependence of crystal orientation on air and deposit temperatures in ice accreted in the dry growth regime has been re-examined by producing accretions over a wide range of these temperatures and critically examining ...
The Mystery of Ice Crystal Multiplication in a Laboratory Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper addresses the problem of the large discrepancies between ice crystal concentrations in clouds and the number of ice nuclei in nearby clear air reported in published papers. Such discrepancies cannot always be ...
Distribution of Contaminants in Ice Grown by Accretion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microchemical analysis and x-ray micrographs were performed on thin slices of ice cylinders artificially grown in a tunnel by accretion of supercooled droplets of contaminated water. Characteristic distribution patterns ...
Backscattering Gain Measurements of Spherical Ice Hydrometeors at 35.8 GHz and Comparison to Numerical Computations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 35.8-GHz scatterometer was tested and used for backscattering gain measurements of spherically shaped artificial hydrometeors varying in composition and size: homogeneous ice with 1.7 ≤ r ≤ 15 mm, different volume fractions ...
Effects of Altitude on Maximum Raindrop Size and Fall Velocity as Limited by Collisional Breakup
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oalescence and breakup of drops are recognized as the main mechanisms determining raindrop size distributions on the ground. Full knowledge of these processes is hindered by the challenging difficulties both in the laboratory ...
