Humidity and Particle Fields Around Some Small Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft-borne measurements showed that five small cumulus clouds were surrounded by regions of high humidity out to distances of several cloud radii from their centers. Total particle concentrations in the regions of high ...
The Role of Quantitative Infrared Imagery in Investigations of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Cooperative Atmospheric?Surface Exchange Study in 1999 (CASES99), an intensive investigation of the stable nocturnal boundary layer, a versatile and sensitive cryogenically cooled thermal imaging radiometer, the ...
The Nature of Winter Clouds and Precipitation in the Cascade Mountains and their Modification by Artificial Seeding. Part II: Techniques for the Physical Evaluation of Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne, ground and radar techniques used for evaluating the effects of artificial seeding on winter clouds and precipitation over the Cascade Mountains are described. The clouds were seeded for 1 or 2 h with silver iodide ...
A Summary of the Physical Properties of Cirrus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review of existing literature is made to determine typical values for the physical properties cirrus clouds. The properties examined (with typical values and measured ranges) are cloud-center altitude (9 km, 4 to 20 km), ...
Aerosols and Trace Gases in the Effluents Produced by the Launch of Large Liquid- and Solid-Fueled Rockets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements over periods of several hours were made in the effluents that collected in the boundary layer in the form of ?ground clouds? when an Atlas/Centaur and Titan III rocket were launched at night-time from ...
Measurements of Cloud Nuclei in the Effluents from Launches of Liquid- and Solid-Fueled Rockets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements of cloud nuclei [cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN)] were made in the stabilized ground clouds resulting from the launches of a liquid-fueled ATLAS/Centaur rocket and a solid-fueled ...
Measurements of Transformations in the Physical and Chemical Properties of Clouds Associated with Onshore Flow in Washington State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Preliminary measurements of several physical and chemical parameters associated with clouds in two cases of onshore flow over western Washington suggest that the physical and chemical properties of maritime, cloudy air ...
High Aitken Nucleus Concentrations above Cloud Tops in the Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements in the Arctic in spring show large increases in the concentrations of particles with diameters below about 0.1 ?m just above the tops of stratus clouds when the water-vapor mixing ratio is relatively ...
