Simulations of the glaciation of a frontal mixed-phase cloud with the Explicit Microphysics Model
Simulations with the Explicit Microphysics Model (EMM) of a case of lightly precipitating, glaciated stratiform cloud are presented. This frontal cloud was observed by the UK Met Of ce C-130 aircraft and the dual-polarization radar at Chilbolton in southern England. The Hallett–Mossop (H-M) process was found to cause extremely high number concentrations of crystal columns of up to almost 1000 ...
متن کاملProperties of embedded convection in warm-frontal mixed-phase cloud from aircraft and polarimetric radar
Results are presented from a case study in which the macrophysical and microphysical characteristics of a warm-frontal mixed-phase cloud were investigated using simultaneous aircraft and polarimetric radar measurements. A region of embedded convection was located and sampled at various stages of its ascent through the cloud from 5 C to 11 C, and evidence is presented that it was triggered by Ke...
متن کاملProfile information on CO from SCIAMACHY observations using cloud slicing and comparison with model simulations
We apply a cloud slicing technique (CST), originally developed for Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) ozone observations, to CO vertical column densities retrieved from the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY). CST makes use of the shielding effect of clouds and combines trace gas column measurements of cloudy pixels with different cloud heights...
متن کاملSpace observations of cold-cloud phase change.
This study examines the vertically resolved cloud measurements from the cloud-aerosol lidar with orthogonal polarization instrument on Aqua satellite from June 2006 through May 2007 to estimate the extent to which the mixed cloud-phase composition can vary according to the ambient temperature, an important concern for the uncertainty in calculating cloud radiative effects. At -20 degrees C, the...
متن کاملLES Simulations of Roll Clouds Observed During Mixed- Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment
Roll clouds and associated roll convection, are fairly common features of the atmospheric boundary layer. While these organized cumuliform clouds are found over many regions of the planet, they are quite ubiquitous near the edge of the polar ice sheets. In particular, during periods of off-ice flow, when cold polar air flows from the ice pack over the relatively warm ocean water, strong boundar...
