Ice-Phase Seeding Potential for Cumulus Cloud Modification in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional, steady-state cumulus model is used to evaluate the climatological potential for precipitation augmentation by ice-phase seeding of isolated cumulus clouds in the western United States using data for ...
Projected Utilization of Warm Fog Dispersal Systems at Several Major Airports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hourly surface weather observations are combined with air traffic records to calculate projected utilization of operational warm fog dispersal systems at 15 Air Force bases in the United States and Europe, and at one ...
A Numerical Model of Cumulus Dynamics and Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional, time-dependent numerical model of cumulus convection is presented. The model considers the processes of horizontal mixing, evaporation, precipitation generation and freezing, as well as the standard ...
A Numerical Analysis of Some Practical Aspects of Airborne Urea Seeding for Warm Fog Dispersal at Airports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional Eulerian model of warm fog dispersal by airborne hygroscope particle seeding is used to evaluate some practical aspects of urea seeding at airports. It is found that although turbulence and wind shear ...
Use of Compressed Air for Supercooled Fog Dispersal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments have been performed under controlled and free environment conditions to determine the technical feasibility of using the cooling resulting from the adiabatic expansion of compressed air to initiate ice crystal ...
An Evaluation of Some Thermal Fog Dispersal Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thermal fog dispersal tests were conducted by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories during July 1972 at Vandenberg AFB, California. The experimental heating system consisted of an array of passive liquid propane ...
