THE VARIABILITY OF THE WATER CONTENTS OF TROPICAL CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Continuous measurements of liquid-water content have been used to determine the magnitude of cloud water and its distribution in tropical cumuli. The average water content for a cloud penetration was always less than the ...
TURBULENCE AROUND TROPICAL CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rapid fluctuations in airspeed experienced by an airplane have been used to define the areal distribution of turbulence associated with a cumulus cloud. In the majority of clouds examined, the turbulence was not confined ...
BUOYANCY AND PRECIPITATION IN TROPICAL CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations made in and around tropical cumuli in the vicinity of Puerto Rico have been used to determine the presence of precipitation and to obtain estimates of cloud buoyancy. It is shown that the development of ...
