Noncircular glories and their relationship to cloud droplet size.
The atmospheric glory caused by backscattering of sunlight from clouds usually has circular colored rings. However, glories with noncircular rings are frequently observed, especially along the edges of clouds. Noting that the angular radius of the rings of glories is a sensitive indicator of the size of the water droplets in clouds, several images of glories have been examined in an attempt to ...
متن کاملthe influence of corpus luteum on follicular fluid composition from different size follicles and their relationship to serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes
the aim of the present study was to determine the in?uence of presence or absence of corpus luteum (cl) on hormonal and metabolites composition of follicular ?uid (ff) harvested from different sized follicles and its relationship with blood serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes. ovaries and blood samples were collected from 60 clinically healthy adult ewes (sanjabi breed) 1–3 years of age in dio...
Statistical Physics, Information Theory and Cloud Droplet Size Distributions
Specification of cloud droplet size distributions is essential for the calculation of radiation transfer in clouds and cloud-climate interactions, and for remote sensing of cloud properties. Despite the effort and progress made over the last few decades, a number of vital issues remain unsolved. For example, 1) It is well known that observed droplet size distributions are generally much broader...
متن کاملOn the representation of droplet coalescence and autoconversion: Evaluation using ambient cloud droplet size distributions
[1] In this study, we evaluate eight autoconversion parameterizations against integration of the Kinetic Collection Equation (KCE) for cloud size distributions measured during the NASA CRYSTAL-FACE and CSTRIPE campaigns. KCE calculations are done using both the observed data and fits of these data to a gamma distribution function; it is found that the fitted distributions provide a good approxi...
متن کاملParameterization of Cloud Droplet Effective Radius: Effects of Spectral Dispersion and Skewness of Cloud Droplet Size Distributions
Effective radius re (defined as the ratio of the third to the second moment of a droplet size distribution) is one of the crucial variables that determine the radiative properties of liquid water clouds (Hansen and Travis 1974). The inclusion and parameterization of re in climate models has proven to be critical for assessing global climate change (Slingo 1990; Dandin et al. 1997). There has be...
