Abstract: A technique is described for retrieving upward and downward solar and infrared irradiances in time and height within the stratiform precipitation region of two tropical cloud clusters. A broadband, multiple-scattering, ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, kinematic model, incorporating ice- and water-cloud microphysics, visible and infrared radiation, and convective adjustment, is used to diagnose the thermodynamic, water vapor, and hydrometeor fields of ...

Abstract: Airborne radar and cloud microphysical data were obtained throughout a monsoon depression observed over the Bay of Bengal on 3?8 July 1979 during the Summer Monsoon Experiment of the Global Atmospheric Research Programme. ...

Abstract: Radar observations obtained during Winter MONEX describe the three-dimensional structure and development of the mesoscale stratiform region of a tropical cloud cluster. The magnitudes of the mesoscale updraft and cloud-ice ...

Abstract: Data from the Winter Monsoon Experiment (WMONEX) are used to study cloud clusters that occurred over the South China Sea on 10 December 1978. These clusters underwent life cycles in which they began as groups of intense ...

Abstract: Images of hydrometeors in the size range 0.1 to 1.6 mm were obtained by aircraft in precipitating clouds over the South China Sea during Winter MONEX. These observations document for the first time the particle structures ...

Abstract: An unexpected run-up of the ocean along Daytona Beach, Florida, on 3?4 July 1992 was associated with at least one large ocean wave. The wave, which reached a height of about 3 m above normal tide, injured 75 people and ...
