      AbstractThe moist-air entropy can be used to analyze and better understand the general circulation of the atmosphere or convective motions. Isentropic analyses are commonly based on studies of different equivalent potential ...

    • Methods for Estimating 2D Cloud Size Distributions from 1D Observations 

      Romps, David M.;Vogelmann, Andrew M. (American Meteorological Society, 2017)
      AbstractThe two-dimensional (2D) size distribution of clouds in the horizontal plane plays a central role in the calculation of cloud cover, cloud radiative forcing, convective entrainment rates, and the likelihood of ...

    • The Effect of Ice Nuclei Efficiency on Arctic Mixed-Phase Clouds from Large-Eddy Simulations 

      Fu, Shizuo;Xue, Huiwen (American Meteorological Society, 2017)
      AbstractThe effects of ice nuclei (IN) efficiency on the persistent ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (AMCs) are investigated using a large-eddy simulation model, coupled to a bin microphysics scheme with a ...
