Tests compared the production efficiencies of the following three
silver iodide ice-forming nuclei generators: one burning charcoal
soaked in a 2% silver iodide acetone solution, one in which a jet of
propane gas atomized a 2% silver iodide acetone solution, and one in
which a jet of compressed air atomized...
A two-dimensional numerical mesoscale model, which ic1udes
radiative and turbulent transfers, has been constructed to study the
formation, development and dissipation of coastal stratus cloud
under an inversion. In the model, the delta-Eddington and emissivity
approximations are used for the solar and thermal radiative
transfers, respectively. K-theory parameterization is adopted...
One kilometer Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations for Terra (morning) and Aqua (afternoon) satellites were used to follow the morning to afternoon evolution of marine stratocumulus clouds that were affected by ship stack exhaust. The observations covered the summer months of 2002-2003 and August 2007 for marine layers off...
