Abstract: Applying perturbation theory within a mixed layer framework, the response of the marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud thickness h to imposed increases of the cloud droplet concentration Nd as a surrogate for increases in cloud ...

Abstract: his paper reviews the current knowledge of the climatological, structural, and organizational aspects of stratocumulus clouds and the physical processes controlling them. More of Earth?s surface is covered by stratocumulus ...

Abstract: There are many elements to the manufacture and preassembly of building components off-site. Maintenance has long been regarded as a Cinderella activity. By comparison, with the attention given to so-called new-build ...

Abstract: This is the second of two observational papers examining drizzle in stratiform boundary layer clouds. Part I details the vertical and horizontal structure of cloud and drizzle parameters, including some bulk microphysical ...

Abstract: Detailed observations of stratiform boundary layer clouds on 12 days are examined with specific reference to drizzle formation processes. The clouds differ considerably in mean thickness, liquid water path (LWP), and droplet ...

Abstract: In certain applications it is necessary to control the flow of liquid by means of pneumatic signal. This paper discusses the design and operation of a flueric amplifier that accomplishes this ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the proper selection of a performance index to satisfy a word statement of desired effect. A performance index formed as the time integral of Un is solved for various ...
