Abstract: Observations are described of a small, isolated cumulonimbus developing in a wind field with relatively little directional shear. The storm displayed a high degree of symmetry about a vertical plane through the center of ...

Abstract: Some cloud microphysical measurements made from the sailplane The Explorer are presented. Drop sizes and concentrations and ice particle sizes, concentrations, shapes, and, in some cases, internal structures are determined ...

Abstract: Ice particles are collected from aircraft in sub-freezing silicone oil, with the aid of a simple decelerator, and brought back to the laboratory for study.

Abstract: The structure of ice precipitation in northeastern Colorado, collected within summer cumulus clouds and at the ground beneath thunderstorms, shows that the dominant precipitation formation mechanism is the riming of small ...

Abstract: Much of the previous work which has led to the conclusion that coalescence is the dominant precipitation forming mechanism in cumulus clouds is reviewed. Observations in northeastern Colorado from several independent methods ...
