Determination of Ice-Phase Water Capture Temperatures Using Isotopic Composition and Habits of Ice Crystals Relevance to Snowpack Augmentation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The oxygen 18/oxygen 16 (18O/16O) and deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratios of snowmelt have been used for estimating the weighted mean temperatures in clouds where ice-phase water capture has occurred during the precipitation-forming ...
How the Transport and Dispersion of AgI Aerosols May Affect Detectability of Seeding Effects by Statistical Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Trace chemical measurements of the silver content of snow have been used to investigate the transport and dispersion of silver iodide cloud seeding aerosols into and around two large target areas in the central Sierra ...
Field Performance of a Spinning-Reflector Microwave Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the winter of 1986, two microwave radiometers were operated side by side at a high-altitude weather observation site in the central Sierra Nevada for the purpose of comparing measurements in a variety of ambient weather ...
Lidar Determinations of Atmospheric Ice Crystal Layers at South Pole during Clear-Sky Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results of lidar measurements of atmospheric ice crystal layers during 36 clear-sky precipitation events at South Pole (2850 m MSL) during the winter over the period March-November 1975 are presented and correlated with ...
