OBSERVATIONS ON THE FORMATION AND SPREAD OF PRECIPITATION IN CONVECTIVE CLOUDS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data gathered by the Thunderstorm Project in Ohio during 1947, by use of a radar set AN/TPS?10, were analyzed to study the process of precipitation initiation in natural convective clouds. It is shown that about 60 per ...
DESIGN OF A PROGRAM OF A RANDOMIZED SEEDING OF OROGRAPHIC CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From studies of the properties of convective clouds over the mountains of southeastern Arizona, it was found that many failed to precipitate even though they were supercooled and were quite deep. A carefully controlled ...
CALCULATIONS OF MIE BACK-SCATTERING FROM MELTING ICE SPHERES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calculations of the normalized back-scattering cross-section, σb, of ice spheres surrounded by shells of liquid water have been made from an extension of the Mie theory to a two-layer model. Curves of σb as a function of ...
A STUDY OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION BASED ON CLOUD AND RADAR OBSERVATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of precipitation and cloud-top height in the central United States and in the Caribbean area, obtained from radar-equipped airplanes, have been analyzed in terms of the fraction of clouds of a given height ...
