Abstract: The aim of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment Cloud System Study (GCSS) is to promote the description and understanding of key cloud system processes, with the aim of developing and improving the representation ...

Abstract: A model is presented which simulates the glaciation of a cloud. In this model both vapor transfer and accretion processes are computed, the latter being treated stochastically. Two model clouds have been examined, one a ...

Abstract: It is shown that the recent theoretical collection efficiencies derived by Klett and Davis imply a more effective coalescence process than those previously used. The effect of vertical shear on coalescence is examined and ...

Abstract: The structure of ice grown in water supercooled to temperatures between ?2C and ?7.5C has been studied and recorded by flash photography. The ice structures formed below ?3C are not co-planar with the basal plants of the ...

Abstract: Observations of the Australian summertime cool change have ranged over both the subsynoptic scale (200?2000 km) and the mesoscale (20?200 km). In this paper, the final in a series of three, a conceptual subsynoptic and ...

Abstract: A simple parcel model has been used to examine the possibility that observed profiles of ?e following the passage of a squall line are produced by air originating in middle-level clouds and descending in steady rain. The ...

Abstract: The importance of subcloud evaporation to the thermodynamics and movement of cold fronts is investigated through inclusion of an explicit cloud scheme within a 30-km resolution limited-area model. Two cases are examined: ...

Abstract: The importance of subgrid-scale processes for the simulation of midlatitude frontal clouds by global models is investigated. The case chosen is a frontal cloud associated with a cool change crossing the southern Australian ...

Abstract: On 18 January 1987 the three aircraft from the Equatorial Mesoscale Experiment (EMEX) completed a mission designed to identify the mesoscale reflectivity, kinematic, and thermodynamic structure of a convectively active ...
