His research aims to understand and model
precipitation processes over a wide range of spatial and time scales, from the lifecycles of individual storm cells, to large intra-seasonal weather oscillations and monsoons including their responses to changes in greenhouse gas and aerosols.
The AMF2 was deployed on a research vessel offshore and provided critical measurements to quantify the moisture budget and cloud and
precipitation processes associated with ARs and to characterize aerosols and aerosol - cloud - precipitation interactions associated with aerosols from long - range transport in the Pacific Ocean.
Bushell, A.C., N. Butchart, S. H. Derbyshire, D.R. Jackson, G.J. Schutts, S.B. Vosper, and S. Webster, 2015: Parameterized Gravity Wave Momentum Fluxes from Sources Related to Convection and Large -
Scale Precipitation Processes in a Global Atmosphere Model.
The typical radii of raindrops resulting from this type
of precipitation process range up to several millimetres and have fall velocities of around 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 feet) per second.
Data collected with the instruments during the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are expected to help scientists
understand precipitation processes and to improve weather predictions.
The joint CalWater 2 / ACAPEX field campaign aimed to improve understanding and modeling of large - scale dynamics and cloud and
precipitation processes associated with ARs and aerosol - cloud interactions that influence precipitation variability and extremes in the western U.S..
«There are a lot of theories about how
the precipitation processes over the ice sheet will change in the future,» says Pettersen.
Effects of plasma channels on ice formation or
precipitation processes could not be proved in typical storm clouds, where ice crystals and subcooled water droplets coexist.
«Presumably,
this precipitation process is happening on most of the observed hot Jupiters, but those gas giants all have lower surface gravities than Kepler - 13Ab,» Beatty explained.
Hubble observations of the planet's atmospheric temperature profile represent the first time astronomers have detected
this precipitation process, called a «cold trap,» on an exoplanet.
Consequently, they can impact cloud cover and
the precipitation process.
He has been an integral part of field campaigns that have changed the fundamental understanding of cloud and
precipitation processes, including satellite studies that reveal how these processes are distributed globally, influencing the global climate.
Since joining UW in 1972, Houze has built a career on changing and improving how the community understands areas such as tropical meteorology,
precipitation processes, and cloud dynamics.
«Presumably,
this precipitation process is happening on most of the observed hot Jupiters, but those gas giants all have lower surface gravities than Kepler - 13Ab,» Beatty said.
The workshop, building on the knowledge and practical skills acquired during the school, aims to bring together expertise on large - scale atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, small scale cloud and
precipitation processes, hierarchical climate modeling and observation.
For example, nearly all recent model intercomparisons show that AOGCMs poorly reproduce precipitation in 30 ° S - 30 ° N, they still diverge for cloud cover evolution at different levels of the vertical column, and I don't clearly understand for my part how we can speculate on long term trends of tropospheric T without a good understanding of these convection - condensation -
precipitation process.
We know these clouds are related to low - level stability, but they also are affected by shallow convection,
precipitation processes, and changes in the capping inversion height.
