Microphysical Phenomena

The Microphysical World

Administrative medicine presents an edited summary of a three-day conference of selected leaders in medicine, nursing, education, public health, and sociology. Although the theme of the conference was Administrative Medicine, the discussions actually constituted a potpourri of a wide variety of subjects related to the socio-economic problems involved with general health care in the community. D...

Microphysical properties of subvisible cirrus

Microphysical properties of stratocumulus clouds

Data collected in situ with the Meteo-France Merlin-IV instrumented aircraft during the EUCREX mission 206 are analyzed to document cloud properties that are relevant to the calculation of cloud radiative properties. Ascents and descents through the cloud layer reveal that Ž . most of the vertical profiles of liquid water content LWC and droplet sizes are close to adiabatic profiles. Analysis o...

Microphysical and optical properties of ice clouds

This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract To provide a better representation of natural ice clouds, a novel ice cloud model containing two particle habits is developed. The microphysical and optical properties of the two-habit model (THM) are compared with bo...
