Abstract: Extended velocity-azimuth display (EVAD) analysis is useful for obtaining vertical profiles of horizontal divergence, vertical air velocity, vertical hydrometer velocity, and hydrometeor terminal fall speed in widespread ...

Abstract: An analytical solution for the evaporation of a single raindrop is derived in this paper. Based on this solution, a parameter D* is defined as the diameter of the raindrop that just evaporates completely after falling ...

Abstract: Unlike raindrops, ice particles of the same mass can have different fallspeeds, due to variations in the particle shape and bulk density. (This is an extension of the popular axiom that no two snowflakes are alike.) This ...

Abstract: A new theoretical approach to snowflake aggregation is presented which accounts for the fact that snowflakes of the same mass can have a spectrum of fallspeeds. The essence of the approach is to define a modified kernel ...

Abstract: An analysis of two days of in situ observations of ice particle size spectra, in convectively generated cirrus, obtained during NASA?s Tropical Composition, Cloud, and Climate Coupling (TC4) mission is presented. The ...
