A numerical study of the effect of cloud nuclei on the initiation of rain from warm clouds
… on rain initiation from shallow maritime warm clouds are examined in a one-dimensional, time-dependent cylindrical cloud model. Calculations include nucleation, condensation on both nuclei and drops, collection of drops and scavenging of nucleus-size particles to drops. It was found that …

Trade wind cloud evolution observed by polarization radar: relationship to aerosol characteristics
… formation and the onset of precipitation in warm clouds. Although a time interval of about 20 minutes is often quoted for initiation of warm rainfall, few field observations have carefully defined the starting or ending times of trade-wind cumuli development. The goals of this research are …

Compact Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Clouds in the GALFA-HI Survey
… five populations of compact neutral hydrogen clouds. We began by developing a machine-vision algorithm to identify compact clouds in the GALFA-HI Data Release 1. Based on position, velocity, and linewidth we separated the 1964 identified clouds into five populations: galaxy candidates, …

The calculation of cloud parameters from AVHRR data
… respectively. The procedure is limited to warm clouds of moderate optical depth. In addition, the inversion process generates values of cloud top height and temperature, cloud depth and column liquid water content. The method is used to observe the development of orographic cloud formed …

Characterization of the role of precipitation in tropical cyclone intensification
… existing within the RMW to develop the TC warm core due to limited radial responses associated with the greater inertial stability, while the latter algorithm permits characterization of the full spectrum of convection for the first time during RI episodes. It is found that the high shear …
