OBSERVATIONS OF SALT NUCLEI OVER THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The concentrations of salt particles over central Illinois are being monitored through the use of a sodium flame-counter and an impactor. The number of large particles as determined by the impactor has been found to average ...
THE WATER AND ENERGY BUDGETS OF THE THUNDERSTORM AND THEIR RELATION TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A quantitative estimate, based upon data from the Thunderstorm Project, is made of the various water sources and sinks and the energy sources and sinks of an average thunderstorm cell. It is found that a large fraction of ...
PRECIPITATION-PARTICLE MEASUREMENTS IN TRADE-WIND CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation particles in the 100- to 6.50-µ-diam range were sampled in a large number of tropical convective clouds. These samples permit one to trace the development of precipitation in these clouds. Liquid-water-content ...
ROOTS OF OROGRAPHIC CUMULI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In an effort to disentangle the ?orographic barrier? and ?high-level heat source? effects, as they may combine to lead to the development of summer convective clouds over mountains, a series of measurements was undertaken ...
CUMULUS CLOUD PRECIPITATION AS REVEALED BY RADAR-ARIZONA 1955
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An AN/TPS-10 radar, located at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona, has been used to make extensive measurements of radar returns from cumulus clouds in the vicinity of Tucson. Data from ten days ...
THUNDERSTORM STRUCTURE AND CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from Thunderstorm Project observations in Florida, derived mainly from airplane traverses through thunderstorms, are analyzed in order to obtain a description of thunderstorm structure and circulation. Thunderstorms ...
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 ...
