Abstract: Sounding data from central Alberta were analyzed to assess whether the atmosphere indicated deep layers that were susceptible to convective or moist symmetric instability. The observations consisted of 1460 balloon soundings ...

Abstract: A nonhydrostatic axisymmetric cloud model is used to quantify the effects of persistent mesoscale convergence on cumulus development and convective rainfall. The model was initialized by environmental conditions adopted ...

Abstract: An axisymmetric cloud model is used to investigate the evolution of convective cells and associated rain showers that develop due to the sensible and latent heat released into a calm atmosphere from an industrial cooling ...

Abstract: The volume velocity processing (VVP) technique is used with a simulated wind field to determine the accuracy of kinematic quantities for different numbers of wind parameters and different sizes of analysis volumes. Accurate ...

Abstract: Large oil refineries emit heat, vapor, and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), all of which can affect the formation of cloud and precipitation. This study quantities the relative contributions of the three factors on cloud ...

Abstract: Aircraft measurements are analyzed to determine the mode of entrainment in cumulus congestus clouds. The data were collected in 15 developing cloud towers sampled in southern Africa on three different days. The Paluch ...

Abstract: The entrainment mechanisms of deep convective clouds in South Africa are simulated by using both axially and slab-symmetric cumulus models having very high spatial and temporal resolutions. The simulated clouds on three ...

Abstract: Seven precipitation bands observed during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) are studied to assess the importance of slantwise convective instability. Using three-hourly radiosonde data from regular and special ...

Abstract: Atmospheric stability properties for cumulus and slantwise convection in oceanic midlatitude cyclones are analyzed using dropsonde observations from the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERICA). ...
