Aircraft Traverses in a Growing Mountain Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During a one-hour interval while a mountain cumulus cloud system was developing into a cumulonimbus, in a light wind condition over an isolated peak, a series of 17 traverses was made through the clouds by an instrumented ...
Ice Crystal Development in a Seeded Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cumulus cloud was seeded by an aircraft flying 1780 meters below cloud base. An observation plane spiraled up through the cloud base and made replicas of the cloud particles while recording pressure altitude, temperature, ...
Continuous Particle Sampler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A continuous particle sampler has been developed which captures atmospheric particles in a Formvar solvent liquid film. The Formvar solution completely encapsulates the particle; then as the solvent evaporates the film ...
A Model of Hygroscopic Seeding in Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A systematic modeling exploration has been conducted to map the growth and trajectory of hygroscopically initiated precipitation particles. The model used is a one-dimensional, steady-state, condensation-coalescence model ...
