Abstract: The plastic limit is an important property of fine-grained soils. The standard thread-rolling method for determining the plastic limit has long been criticized for requiring considerable judgements from the operator. This ...

Abstract: A multidimensional and time-dependent cloud scale model is used to investigate the dynamic and micro-physical processes associated with convective and stratiform regions within a tropical squall-type convective line. The ...

Abstract: A total of 48 numerical experiments have been performed to study cloud interactions and merging by means of a two-dimensional multi-cell model. Two soundings of deep convection during GATE and two different magnitudes of ...

Abstract: A total of nine three-dimensional experiments are made to study cloud interaction and merging under the influence of different imposed conditions. Large-scale lifting forcing, environmental wind shear and cloud microphysical ...

Abstract: This paper addresses an equation for moist entropy in the framework of cloud-resolving models. After rewriting the energy equation with moist entropy in the place of temperature, an equation for moist entropy is obtained. ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model is used to simulate Hurricane Bob (1991) using grids nested to high resolution (4 km). Tests are conducted to ...

Abstract: The vertical transport of horizontal momentum in a convective tropical rainband is studied using a two-dimensional cloud ensemble model. Twelve simulations are made under the same large-scale conditions. The vertical ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical cloud ensemble model has been developed to investigate the collective feedback effects of cloud systems on the large-scale environment. An observed large-scale lifting is imposed continuously ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is linked with a TOGA COARE flux algorithm to examine the impact of the ocean surface fluxes on the development of a tropical squall line and its associated precipitation processes. ...
