Fine Structure of Cloud Droplet Concentration as Seen from the Fast-FSSP Measurements. Part I: Method of Analysis and Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical analysis of a series of droplet arrival times measured by the Fast Forward-Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) during aircraft flights in cumulus clouds was conducted. The main purpose of the analysis was ...
Drop Inertia and Its Contribution to Turbulent Coalescence in Convective Clouds. Part I: Drop Fall in the Flow with Random Horizontal Velocity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of simulated drop fall in horizontal flows with the vertical shear of different kinds (constant linear, periodic, and with random velocity distribution) are presented. It is shown that the inertia of drops is ...
Collisions of Small Drops in a Turbulent Flow. Part II: Effects of Flow Accelerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of Lagrangian acceleration on collision efficiency and collision kernels of small cloud droplets in a turbulent flow are investigated using the results of the recent laboratory experiments by La Porta et al., ...
Collisions of Small Drops in a Turbulent Flow. Part III: Relative Droplet Fluxes and Swept Volumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Swept volumes of cloud droplets with radii below 20 ?m are calculated under conditions typical of atmospheric cloud turbulence characterized by enormous values of Reynolds numbers, high turbulent intermittency, and ...
Collisions of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Flow. Part IV: Droplet Hydrodynamic Interaction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper presents a computationally accurate and efficient method for calculation of cloud droplets? collision efficiency in a turbulent flow with the properties typical of atmospheric clouds. According to Part III, the ...
The Role of Small Soluble Aerosols in the Microphysics of Deep Maritime Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ome observational evidence?such as bimodal drop size distributions, comparatively high concentrations of supercooled drops at upper levels, high concentrations of small ice crystals in cloud anvils leading to high optical ...
Factors Determining the Impact of Aerosols on Surface Precipitation from Clouds: An Attempt at Classification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simulation of the dynamics and the microphysics of clouds observed during the Large-Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia?Smoke, Aerosols, Clouds, Rainfall, and Climate (LBA?SMOCC) campaign, as well as ...
