A Wind Tunnel and Theoretical Study of the Melting Behavior of Atmospheric Ice Particles. I: A Wind Tunnel Study of Frozen Drops of Radius < 500 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study has been made on the melting behavior of frozen drops suspended freely at terminal velocity in the UCLA Cloud Tunnel. The relative humidity of the air ranged between 25 and 95%. The warming rates of the tunnel air ...
A Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Rate of Evaporation of Large Water Drops Falling at Terminal Velocity in Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental study of the effect of ventilation on the rate of evaporation of millimeter sized water drops failing at terminal velocity in air has been carried out in a wind tunnel where drops were suspended freely in ...
A Generalized Form for Impact Velocities Used to Determine Graupel Accretional Densities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple parameterization is presented which allows calculation of surface averaged radial impact velocities for droplets colliding with spheres as a function of the Reynolds and Stokes numbers. These impact velocities are ...
A Wind Tunnel and Theoretical Study of the Melting Behavior of Atmospheric Ice Particles. II: A Theoretical Study for Frozen Drops of Radius < 500 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The internal and external heat transfer of a melting spherical ice particles less than 500 ?m radius has been investigated theoretically. The effect of an internal circulation and eccentric location of the ice core was ...
A Wind Tunnel and Theoretical Study on the Melting Behavior of Atmospheric Ice Particles: III. Experiment and Theory for Spherical Ice Particles of Radius > 500 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study has been performed on the melting of spherical ice particles between 3 and 20 mm in diameter. For the experimental study the UCLA Cloud Tunnel was employed in determining the melting ...
Multiparameter Radar Measurements in Colorado Convective Storms. Part I: Graupel Melting Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of coordinated measurements taken by the NCAR CP-2 radar and the Wyoming King Air aircraft flown by NCAR during the May Polarization Experiment, which was held new Boulder, Colorado. A key ...
The Future of Winter Orographic Cloud Seeding: A View from Scientists and Stakeholders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Identifying Climate Change Information Needs for the Himalayan Region: Results from the GLACINDIA Stakeholder Workshop and Training Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Effect of an External, Vertical Electric Field on the Shape of Electrically Uncharged Rain Drops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented of a recent wind tunnel experiment in which electrically unchanged water drops of 1000?3000 ?m equivalent radius were freely suspended in the vertical air stream of the UCLA Cloud Tunnel. During their ...
CONUS404: The NCAR–USGS 4-km Long-Term Regional Hydroclimate Reanalysis over the CONUS
