Journal ArticleDOI
The 27-28 October 1986 FIRE IFO cirrus case study - Cirrus parameter relationships derived from satellite and lidar data
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of ground-based, aircraft, and satellite measurements taken as part of the FIRE Cirrus Intensive Field Observations (IFO) during October and November 1986 were used to determine cloud radiative and physical characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of a Winter Mountain Storm in Utah. Part II: Mesoscale Structure, Supercooled Liquid Water Development, and Precipitation Processes
TL;DR: In this article, a case study drawn from the 1985 Utah/NOAA cooperative weather modification experiment is divided into descriptions of the synoptic and kinematic properties in Part I, and storm structure and composition in Part II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Orographic Cloud Structure and Composition Derived from Comprehensive Remote Sensing Measurements
TL;DR: Coordinated polarization lidar, Ku-band radar and dual-channel microwave radiometer observations of a deep orographic cloud system were collected from a mountain base site in northwestern Colorado as part of the Colorado Orographic Seeding Experiment (COSE) research effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar and Triple-Wavelength Doppler Radar Measurements of the Melting Layer: A Revised Model for Dark- and Brightband Phenomena
Kenneth Sassen,James R. Campbell,Jiang Zhu,Pavlos Kollias,Matthew D. Shupe,Christopher R. Williams +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a 0.523m lidar and three (0.32-, 0.86-, and 10.6-cm wavelength) Doppler radars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward the theory of homogeneous nucleation and its parameterization for cloud models
TL;DR: In this article, a general but simple expression for the homogeneous freezing rate is derived with account for solution and curvature effects, and applied to the examples of ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid solutions.
