Abstract: Cross sections through two trade-cumulus clouds are presented, showing the temperatures, turbulence, and water-vapor content of the clouds and their nearby environment, the cloud slope, and the external wind profile. The ...

Abstract: With use of the model of the steady-state entraining cumulus draft, it is possible to describe the formation and structure of the downdraft observed at the down-shear edge of an oceanic trade-cumulus cloud. The observations ...

Abstract: The effect upon a stable atmosphere of a heat source (5?10 km width), which is a specified function of the coordinates, is investigated theoretically. A two-dimensional problem is chosen, with the x-coordinate in the ...

Abstract: In Part I, the convective motions produced by the flow of a stable air stream over a small flat island were studied when the distribution of heating as a function of the coordinates was assumed. In Part II, the mechanism ...

Abstract: A differential equation is formulated for the rate of rise of isolated buoyant elements in the atmosphere, based in part on analogy with the work of Davies and Taylor (1950) who studied the ascent of air bubbles in liquid. ...
