摘要: Abstract This paper describes complex microphysical interactions observed within an orographic cloud system over the central Sierra Nevada of California. Measurements physical structure and characteristics this were made during Cooperative Pilot Project (SCPP) with a 5-cm scanning radar, instrumented aircraft, two rawinsonde stations, network precipitation gauges across mountain. The extended 130 km upwind crestline, was 4 deep, had base temperature +5°C, top approximately −15°C. Cloud droplets rising from grew to sizes >50 μm first encountered dendritic ice particles descending middle elevations Nevada. Within region, rapid removal large by riming occurred, secondary ice-crystal production due rime splintering observed. Needles produced ice-particle incorporated into ...
