Long-Lasting Trade-Wind Rain Showers in a Three-Dimensional Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional warm rain model that included microphysics was used to study the reasons for ease of rainfall in Hawaiian clouds and the long-lasting rainfall from certain rainbands. It was found that drop recirculation ...
Thermoelectric Effect in Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The electric potential difference under a temperature gradient in ice was measured by the use of single crystal ice, polycrystalline ice including numerous bubbles, and the ice formed from solutions of hydrofluoric acid. ...
Warm Rain Study in Hawaii—Rain Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: More than 300 hours of aircraft flights were conducted in Hawaii from 1977 to 1979 to study precipitation mechanisms in warm rain. Airborne instruments were used to measure drop size distributions over the size range from ...
Warm Rain Development in a Three-Dimensional Cloud Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A warm rainshower was simulated in a shallow, anelastic, three-dimensional cloud model with detailed microphysics. After many features of the drop growth process were successfully simulated in a symmetric cloud, wind shear ...
Electric Potential of a Rubbed Ice Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The electric potential of an ice surface rubbed by a single crystal ice piece was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The negative electric potential on the rubbed ice surface increased with increasing ...
Electric Potential of Liquid Water on an Ice Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of the electric potential of liquid water on an ice surface is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The electric potential produced at the boundary surface between the liquid water and bulk ice ...
Thunderstorm Electrification—A Numerical Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of a numerical model of thunderstorm electrification that includes riming electrification compare favorably with many cloud observations. A strong electric charge accumulates through two major stages in the ...
A Numerical Simulation of Winter Cumulus Electrification. Part I: Shallow Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of electricity in a shallow wintertime cumulus was studied using an axisymmetric cloud model containing both microphysical and electrical charge separation processes during graupel formation. The charge ...
