Abstract: In order to determine if natural glaciation proceeds rapidly or extensively enough in tropical maritime cumuli to influence attempts to modify their dynamical behavior by seeding with silver iodide, a detailed study was ...

Abstract: The main objective of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiments was to seed groups of supercooled tropical cumulus clouds to convert enough water to ice so that sufficient heat could be released to enhance cloud growth and ...

Abstract: Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) were obtained in the south Florida region as part of NOAA's Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE). During the summer of 1975, CCN measurements were obtained near the bases ...

Abstract: A better understanding of how the precipitation budget operates in tropical convective systems is a prime objective of the GATE research effort. Measurement of rainfall rate with shipboard radar is the principal method by ...

Abstract: From an in-cloud microphysical data set collected in Florida convective towers that were penetrated close to their tops near -10°C, evidence is presented to show a sequential development of cloud water, rainwater, graupel ...

Abstract: The potential for enhancing rain output over central Illinois through modification of summertime convective clouds was investigated by use of model predictions of cumulus growth, as well as direct, internal measurements ...

Abstract: From in-cloud microphysical data collected during the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE), evidence is presented documenting the presence of significantly greater quantities of crystalline ice near the ?10°C sampling ...

Abstract: Isothermal cold chamber tests indicate that the NEI TB-1 pyrotechnic used in FACE after July 1975 emits a silver iodide smoke which has a much greater nucleating effectiveness in the temperature range ?6 to ?12°C than that ...
