A Proposed Standard Fog Collector for Use in High-Elevation Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The collection of fog droplets by vegetation is an important wet deposition process. It can, in fact, dominate the chemical and hydrological input to certain high elevation watersheds. However, measurements of fog deposition ...
The Occurrence of Fog in Chile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The topography in Chile is extremely complex and many types of fog are found; both factors complicate the presentation of the data. Despite this, measurements from standard meteorological stations suggest a latitudinal ...
Free-Fall Behavior of Planar Snow Crystals, Conical Graupel and Small Hail
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drag coefficients and Best numbers of models of six planar snow crystals, two conical graupel and two conical small-hail particles were determined experimentally in glycerin-water mixtures and salt solutions. The Reynolds ...
The Importance of Cloud Top Lifetime in the Description of Natural Cloud Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The microphysical and dynamical characteristics of 156 natural summer cumulus clouds have been documented for three locations in North America: Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; Thunder Bay, Ontario; and Miles City, ...
Calibrations of Johnson-Williams Liquid Water Content Meters in a High-Speed Icing Tunnel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind tunnel tests have provided calibrations and intercomparisons of 14 Johnson-Williams (J?W) cloud liquid water content (LWC) measuring devices with 23 sensor heads from 10 research organizations. The absolute tunnel LWC ...
A Neglected Water Resource: The Camanchaca of South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many parts of the world are currently suffering water shortages. Few areas, however, have as little precipitation and groundwater available to alleviate the problem as does the northern coast of Chile. The historical ...
Comments on “Physical Interpretation of Results from the HIPLEX-1 Experiment”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The aircraft measurements from the HIPLEX-1 weather modification experiment have been examined to determine if the nature of the change of liquid water content (LWC) in the supercooled portion of the clouds can be simply ...
The Small-Particle Response of an Optical Array Precipitation Probe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response characteristics of an optical array precipitation spectrometer probe (PMS-OAP-200Y) have been studied in the laboratory using precision glass beads ejected from a specially constructed air gun. The low-end ...
