Impact of Urbanization on the Nature of Precipitation at Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Effects of Variable Droplet Growth Histories on Droplet Size Distributions. Part I: Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical framework is developed that permits estimation of the effects of fluctuating supersaturation on the development of cloud droplet size spectra. The studies focus on the role of turbulent fluctuations in vertical ...
Fluid Dynamics of Sprays—1992 Freeman Scholar Lecture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various theoretical and computational aspects of the fluid dynamics of sprays are reviewed. Emphasis is given to rapidy vaporizing sprays on account of the richness of the scientific phenomena ...
Effects of Coincidence on Measurements with a Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A PMS Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) may fail to detect a droplet that enters the illuminated volume in coincidence with another droplet, or such a coincident pair may be assigned an erroneous size. This ...
An Investigation of Composite Dropsonde Profiles for Developing and Nondeveloping Tropical Waves during the 2010 PREDICT Field Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omposite dropsonde profiles are analyzed for developing and nondeveloping tropical waves in an attempt to improve the understanding of tropical cyclogenesis. These tropical waves were sampled by 25 reconnaissance missions ...
Design for Successful Hillside Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hillside development is a hot topic in Southern California. Many of the hillside projects developed in the past few years have been insensitive to the natural character of the terrain. The resulting public displeasure has ...
Pioneer: The First American Doctorate in Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines one aspect of the early history of meteorology as a university discipline in America?the establishment in the late 19th century of a program of research and graduate training at The Johns Hopkins ...
