Mixed-Phase Microphysics and Cloud Electrification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of experimental studies have shown that sublimating ice acquires negative charge and ice undergoing vapor deposition acquires positive charge. Microphysical calculations are performed to determine the diffusional ...
A Radar and Electrical Study of Tropical “Hot Towers”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radar and electrical measurements for deep tropical convection are examined for both ?break period? and ?monsoonal? regimes in the vicinity of Darwin, Australia. Break period convection consists primarily of deep continental ...
Surface Temperature Related Variations in Tropical Cirrus Cloud as Measured by SAGE II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II) solar occultation satellite instrument have been used to study the properties of tropical cloud over the altitude range 10.5?18.5 km. By virtue of its ...
A Comparison of Airborne In Situ Cloud Microphysical Measurement with Ground-Based C-Band Radar Observations in Deep Stratiform Regions of African Squall Lines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study addresses clouds with significant ice water content (IWC) in the stratiform regions downwind of the convective cores of African squall lines in the framework of the French?Indian satellite Megha-Tropiques project, ...
