Abstract: Aircraft observations obtained during the Frontal Air?Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) are used to investigate the structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer in the vicinity of an ocean front. A quasi-stationary ...

Abstract: A few basic experiments were performed with artificial cloud condensation nuclei and ice-nucleating aerosols in a continuous-flow thermal gradient diffusion chamber to investigate the instrument's response. Brief pulses ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Global Weather Enterprise (GWE) encompasses the scientific research, technology, observations, modeling, forecasting, and forecast products that need to come together to provide accurate and reliable weather ...

Abstract: Observational evidence from an Alberta hailstorm was examined in an attempt to demonstrate the link between feeder clouds and hailfalls. Radar data, time resolved surface collections of hail, and cloud photographs from a ...

Abstract: The average and turbulence structure of two marine stratocumulus layers, from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment, are analyzed. These layers ware in adjacent air masses with different histories: one cloud ...

Abstract: The effect of a stable internal boundary layer (IBL) on the cloud-capped marine boundary layer is investigated using a one-dimensional second-order closure model. A stable IBL forms if there is a reversal in the surface ...

Abstract: The effects of longwave and shortwave radiative heating on the coupling between stratocumulus clouds and the boundary layer is investigated using a one-dimensional second-moment turbulence-closure model. The decoupling of ...

Abstract: Evidence is presented for a process of ice crystal generation in supercooled orographic clouds in contact with snow-covered mountain surfaces. Comparisons of the crystal concentrations at the surface with aircraft sampling ...

Abstract: A 1.2 m3 continuous slow-expansion cloud chamber was used to simulate natural, liquid cloud formation on soluble cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Droplet freezing was observed during continued simulated adiabatic ascent ...

Abstract: Results are presented from the 1981 Convective Cloud Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE). Aircraft data are analyzed from different flight levels within a convective cloud using the ?qQ mixing diagram (Paluch). Points on this ...
