Book Synopsis Storm and Cloud Dynamics by : William R. Cotton
Download or read book Storm and Cloud Dynamics written by William R. Cotton. This book was released on 2010-12-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storm and Cloud Dynamics focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical prediction models. Provides a complete treatment of clouds integrating the analysis of air motions with cloud structure, microphysics, and precipitation mechanics Describes and explains the basic types of clouds and cloud systems that occur in the atmosphere-fog, stratus, stratocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, cirrus, thunderstorms, tornadoes, waterspouts, orographically induced clouds, mesoscale convection complexes, hurricanes, fronts, and extratropical cyclones Summarizes the fundamentals, both observational and theoretical, of atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, cloud microphysics, and radar meteorology, allowing each type of cloud to be examined in depth Integrates the latest field observations, numerical model simulations, and theory Supplies a theoretical treatment suitable for the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, as well as post-graduate

Book Synopsis Observations of Waterspouts and Their Parent Clouds by : Vernon John Rossow
Download or read book Observations of Waterspouts and Their Parent Clouds written by Vernon John Rossow. This book was released on 1970. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of a study of waterspouts during the summers of 1967 and 1968 in the area around Key West, Florida are presented. Observations were made from Coast Guard Cutters and from aircraft assigned to the Key West Naval Air Station on a cooperative basis with NASA, Ames Research Center. Measurements made of the electric and magnetic fields associated with these atmospheric vortices indicate that electricity does not play a primary role in their structure and could be eliminated as a generating mechanism or as a means of identification. The measurements did not clarify a secondary or augmentation role for electrical energy because the events which involved electrical activity could not be studied thoroughly enough to identify the relationship with the vortex. Although electricity is eliminated as an essential of defining mechanism, some evidence was found (low cloud tops and a lightning demise of a spout) to indicate that these vortices cannot exist if electricity is too prominent. Of the 104 evehts sighted, it was found that 30 rotated cyclonically, 9 anticyclonically, and the rest either went unnoticed or were not observable. The parent clouds had tops at 8,000-12,000 ft and bottoms from 800-2 500 ft altitude. Other results obtained on the characteristics of Waterspouts supplement those in past publications but stiil do not appear to disclose the mechanism responsible for the formation of the vortex at the time and location of its occurrence. The relationship of these results to tornado structure is uncertain.
