Production of Ice in Tropospheric Clouds
25 hydrometeors in Earth’s atmosphere at any moment are liquid water, while the rest are ice. Though only a small percentage of the total condensed water in the troposphere, ice exerts an enormous infl uence on processes ranging from precipitation and cloud electrifi cation to radiative transfer. To understand and ultimately predict these processes, we must understand the ways in which ice form...

متن کاملThe Microphysics of Ice and Precipitation Development in Tropical Cumulus Clouds
The rapid glaciation of tropical cumulus clouds has been an enigma and has been debated in the literature for over 60 years. Possible mechanisms responsible for the rapid freezing have been postulated, but until now direct evidence has been lacking. Recent high-speed photography of electrostatically suspended supercooled drops in the laboratory has shown that freezing events produce small secon...
متن کاملVisualizing Cumulus Clouds in Virtual Reality
Feature tracking in large data sets is traditionally an off-line, batch processing operation while virtual reality typically focuses on highly interactive tasks and applications. This paper presents an approach that uses a combination of off-line preprocessing and interactive visualization in VR to simplify and speed up the identification of interesting features for further study. We couch the ...
متن کاملCS6204: Cumulus, Nimbus, Cumulonimbus – Choosing Between Clouds
Cloud computing is a multi-billion business, with more than 100 cloud service providers [1] vying for supremacy. Businesses are overwhelmed with choices and tradeoffs. In this paper we offer a qualitative and quantitative assessment of leading cloud service providers (CSPs) to guide small and medium businesses (SMBs) in their choice of CSP. Our qualitative study of usability, reliability, and c...
