An investigation of the diurnal variability of the Central Colorado downslope windstorm.
(1997)
An interesting observation is made regarding the strongly heated experiments. The high drag state associated with the strong mountain wave and downslope windstorm control runs prevail but at a reduced level. The numerical ...
Numerical simulation of nonlinear buoyancy waves in the lower atmosphere.
(1997)
A 2D dry incompressible vorticity-stream function model is developed and used to investigate nonlinear buoyancy waves, especially internal solitary waves and related phenomena in the lower atmosphere. Using this model some ...
Modeling of the aerosol-cloud interactions in marine stratocumulus.
(1997)
In order to study the cloud processing of aerosols, a two-parameter drop spectrum that depends on both the drop mass and the solute mass has been introduced into the CIMMS LES model. The aerosol processing due to condensation, ...
Large-eddy simulation of stratocumulus-topped boundary layer with an explicit and a new bulk microphysics scheme.
(1997)
The realism of the model is evaluated by a direct comparison of the model predictions with the aircraft observations of the STBL. The first case study is based on the UKMRF flight 526 measurements collected over the North ...
Green thunderstorms.
(1997)
Finally, Bohren believes that reddened sunlight in combination with filtering done by naturally blue-colored water creates green light. Given our observations, this is the most likely explanation for the green light. Our ...
Observations of x-rays produced by strong electric fields in thunderstorms.
(1997)
A balloon-borne x-ray spectrometer was developed to fly on free balloons into thunderstorms in order to test hypotheses that strong electric-fields could accelerate cosmic-ray secondary electrons and produce bremsstrahlung ...
An investigation of ice production mechanisms using a three-dimensional cloud model with explicit microphysics.
(1997)
In the case of the New Mexico cumulus cloud, when raindrops are produced through the warm-rain process, the Hallett-Mossop mechanism then generates ice particles in concentrations of order 100 L$\sp{-1}$ in about 10 minutes. ...
Computational aspects of the adjoint method.
(1997)
Modern numerical weather prediction often employs an adjoint of the forecast model to optimally initialize the model with observations of the state of the atmosphere and thus to improve the accuracy of the forecast. This ...
