1968 FLORIDA CUMULUS SEEDING EXPERIMENT: NUMERICAL MODEL RESULTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional numerical cumulus model was tested against data from a randomized seeding experiment made in South Florida in 1968. Fourteen GO clouds were studied. Nine were seeded by pyrotechnics with 1 kg of silver ...
Computerized Rain Assessment and Tracking of South Florida Weather Radar Echoes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Weather radar power can be electronically assessed and digitally quantified within many small ?range bins.? The tape recorded output from a radar digitizer linked to the Miami WSR-57 is being processed post hoc by a sequence ...
MODELS OF PRECIPITATING CUMULUS TOWERS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a model of the growth of cumulus clouds. The water content and maximum height of rising towers are calculated using a buoyancy equation with consideration of effects of entrainment and water load. The ...
On the Modification Potential of Illinois Summertime Convective Clouds, with Comparisons to Florida and FACE Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential for enhancing rain output over central Illinois through modification of summertime convective clouds was investigated by use of model predictions of cumulus growth, as well as direct, internal measurements ...
Radar Rainshower Growth Histories and Variations with Wind Speed, Echo Motion, Location and Merger Status
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from rainshowers observed by the WSR-57 radar at the NOAA National Hurricane Center in Miami were tape-recorded during three recent summers as part of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE). Past studies of ...
Comparison of Gage and Radar Methods of Convective Rain Measurement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gage and radar methods of convective rain measurement are compared in the context of the continuing multiple cloud seeding experiment of the Experimental Meteorology Laboratory. An optimal system, combining the best features ...
