The Atmospheric Electricity Paradigm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Remarkable aspects of the thundercloud are its intense electrification, precipitation, and convection. A satisfactory understanding of how a thunderstorm works will require a continuing series of investigations to explore ...
Repeated Nucleation of a Supercooled Water Sample that Contains Silver Iodide Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments have been carried out on the kinetics of ice nucleation at constant temperature in a sample of supercooled water containing particles of silver iodide. An automatic apparatus was used to record the various times ...
Initiation of Freezing in Supercooled Cloud Droplets by Ionizing Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments conducted in a laboratory cloud chamber at ?15°C show no significant initiation of freezing in supercooled cloud droplets when they are penetrated by 5.3 MeV alpha particles emitted by a 500 ?Ci 210>Po source.
