Sentences with phrase «ice cloud tops»

Comparisons of a sequence of the fifth - generation Pennsylvania State University — National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) predictions and GOES level - 2B retrievals of ice cloud tops for the convectively active second mission period showed that the MM5 cirrus areal extent was somewhat greater than the GOES depictions.

Not exact matches

This drink that's reminiscent of bubble tea is made with a coffee jelly base, then topped with a caramel Frappuccino blended with milk, coffee, and ice, and finished with a whipped cream cloud.

And, whimsy did surface with the dessert course when we ordered «The Cloud» — a flaming cotton candy dessert comprised of Angel food cake topped with white chocolate cremeux, strawberry ice cream, strawberry compote, and whipped cream all ensconced within a cloud of cotton cCloud» — a flaming cotton candy dessert comprised of Angel food cake topped with white chocolate cremeux, strawberry ice cream, strawberry compote, and whipped cream all ensconced within a cloud of cotton ccloud of cotton candy.

I make a chocolate cake — rich, bouncy and well rounded, with a chewy brownie outside, cloud - light chocolate icing and a dreamy chocolate glaze to top everything off.

These arcs, on the other hand, form when light hits the top of ice crystals — like those contained in some kinds of clouds — and is then refracted out through the side of the crystals.

The key finding: cloud particles at the top of the great storm are composed of a mix of three substances: water ice, ammonia ice, and an uncertain third constituent that is possibly ammonium hydrosulfide.

I hope: * A Snow / Ice course * A Jungle / Mangrove course * A Neon course in the top of Skyscrapers (probably not, but I want it) * A course where take place in the clouds

What this argument fails to consider is that the greater SST also produces a more vigorous updraft, so that the rising moist air has less time in which the collision / coalescence process can work before the air reaches the upper cloud layers where spontaneous ice nucleation takes place (at somewhere around -40 C, reached near the top of the troposphere).

It is based on observations of cloud cover, sea - ice concentration, and top - of - atmosphere broadband albedo.

Measure the temperatures of sea ice, ocean surface, and cloud tops using IR images and sensors deployed on the USCG C - 130

Views through another filter capture images deeper down, at the tops of ammonia ice clouds, where solar heating is weak but closer to where weather originates.

With cloud tops warmer than -38 degrees Celsius, ice formation depends on aerosols that preferentially freeze at warm temperatures, referred to as ice nuclei.

Based on this study, we conclude that GOES level - 2B cloud - top retrievals are a reliable tool for prediction evaluations but the algorithm's retrievals of ice water path are not.

And the H2O wavelengths seem to be in between, more like upper atmosphere and perhaps indicative of cloud tops or ice crystals.

Because of the different intramolecular forces between water molecules as vapor in air, water, and ice, the wavelengths of emission and absorption are shifted; some of the radiation from the water / ice droplets at the top of a cloud can escape to space because the atmosphere above it is transparent at its wavelengths, whereas the same radiation from droplets at the bottom of a cloud will be absorbed and re-emitted in random directions from the droplets above, including back down to the originating droplets.

This is true for the surface of the ocean, as well as ice crystals in the tops of thunder clouds.
