Structure of Florida Thunderstorms Using High-Altitude Aircraft Radiometer and Radar Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper presents an analysis of a unique radar and radiometer dataset from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ER-2 high-altitude aircraft overlying Florida thunderstorms on 5 October 1993 during ... -
A Method for Combined Passive Active Microwave Retrievals of Cloud and Precipitation Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Three-dimensional tropical squall-line simulations from the Goddard cumulus ensemble (GCE) model are used as input to radiative computations of upwelling microwave brightness temperatures and radar reflectivities at selected ... -
Sensitivity of Urban Airshed Model (UAM-IV) Calculated Air Pollutant Concentrations to the Vertical Diffusion Parameterization during Convective Meteorological Situations
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)It is shown that Urban Airshed Model (UAM-IV) calculated air pollutant concentrations during photochemical smog episodes in Atlanta, Georgia, depend strongly on the numerical parameterization of the daytime vertical ... -
Estimating Regional Surface Heat and Moisture Fluxes above Prairie Cropland from Surface and Upper-Air Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Upper-air budget methods can be used to estimate the surface sensible and latent heat flux densities on a regional scale. This study assesses the application of radiosonde-based budget methods above homogeneous cropland. ... -
Comparisons of Cross Sections for Melting Hydrometeors as Derived from Dielectric Mixing Formulas and a Numerical Method
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)One of the impediments to the interpretation of radar signatures from the melting layer is the uncertainty over the dielectric mixing formula for ice-water mixtures. In the commonly used Maxwell Garnett mixing formula, the ... -
A Field Study of Raindrop oscillations. Part I: Observation of Size Spectra and Evaluation of Oscillation Causes
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The size spectra of oscillating raindrops were determined from photographic measurements in Illinois showers at night. The oscillations were detected from modulations in the fall streaks produced by backscattered light ... -
Vertical Profiles of Aerosol and Radiation and the Influence of a Temperature Inversion: Measurements and Radiative Transfer Calculations
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The results of an airborne experiment performed near Mönchengladbach (Germany) in November 1993 are reported. Besides meteorological data, vertical profiles of aerosol properties (number concentration, size distribution) ... -
Raindrop Size Distributions and the Radar Bright Band
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The relationship between raindrop size distribution, measured with a disdrometer, and a radar parameter of the melting-layer bright band is investigated. The data, obtained in July 1993 in Switzerland, cover 120 h of ... -
Effects of ice Formation on Convective Cloud Development
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A study is performed of the importance of the ice-phase formation in convective cloud development. With this purpose, a one-dimensional and time-independent cloud model is applied to radiosonde data, corresponding to ... -
A Marine Stratus Layer Modified by Nuclei from a Ship Plume
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)On 13 July 1991, a steaming ship produced a long, linear feature in a marine stratus layer offshore Baja California, detected in a 2207 UTC NOAA-11 3.7-µ m satellite image. Droplet sizes were inferred from the satellite ... -
Plume Dispersion Simulation in Low-Wind Conditions Using Coupled Plume Segment and Gaussian Puff Approaches
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Short-range diffusion experiments conducted at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in light-wind stable conditions have been simulated using a mathematical model that combines plume segment and Gaussian puff approaches. ... -
Bhopal Gas Leak: A Numerical Investigation of the Prevailing Meteorological Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A three-dimensional mesoscale model was used to understand the meteorological conditions and the influence of the terrain on the local flow pattern during the Bhopal methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas leak. The study reveals that ... -
Dispersion of an Elevated Release in a Coastal Region
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper presents a study on air pollutant dispersion from an elevated accidental release from the space shuttle tower at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida under the influence of a stratified onshore flow. The temperature ... -
Sodar in Dispersion Modeling
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Usefulness of sodar data for dispersion modeling has been highlighted. A case study of using sodar data in a simple Gaussian dispersion model to calculate ground-level concentration of particulate matter emitted from a ... -

An Overview of Crop Hail Damage and Evaluation of Hail Suppression Efficiency in Bulgaria
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The space?time distribution of the crop hail loss-to-risk ratio over the whole. Bulgarian territory has been ascertained using the rank approach. The relationships between hailfall characteristics (sizes and kinetic energy) ... -
Nucleation and Characteristics of Liquid Nitrogen
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper describes experiments on a refrigerating catalyst?liquid nitrogen (LN)?in different cloud chambers and their results. The nucleation threshold temperature of liquid nitrogen is 0°C, and when the temperature less ... -
Simulating the Influence of Type II Error on the Outcome of Past Statistical Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Simulations of randomized winter orographic weather modification experiments were used to explore a possible cause of the many inconclusive results from previous statistical experiments. There is increasing evidence that ... -
Crop Damage: The Hail Size Factor
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Between 1986 and 1992 a research project was developed and carried out on hail climatology and the economic repercussions of hail on agriculture in León (northwestern Spain). A target area with an extent of 6825 km2 was ...
