MST Radar Observations of Gravity Waves and Turbulence near Thunderstorms
The effect of deep convection on the intensities of gravity waves and turbulence during the summer at White Sands, New Mexico, is investigated using 50-MHz mesosphere–stratosphere–troposphere (MST) radar observations and surface weather reports. Radar data taken at 3-min intervals from the summers of 1991 through 1996 (with occasional gaps of varying length) are used to construct hourly means, ...
متن کاملConvected Charge in Thunderstorms
The charge transport within thunderclouds by the convective motions of the cloud is examined. I n the presencc of the primary positive dipole, shielding charge distributions are formed within thc lower and upper cloud boundaries as the result of ion conduction from the free air and ion capture by droplets and precipitation in peripheral cloud layers. Cloud droplets positivcly charged by the con...
متن کاملThunderstorms Don’t Get Butterflies
One important limitation on the accuracy of weather forecasts is imposed by unavoidable errors in the specification of the atmosphere’s initial state. Much theoretical concern has been focused on the limits to predictability imposed by small-scale errors, potentially even those on the scale of a butterfly. Very modest errors at much larger scales may nevertheless pose a more important practical...
متن کاملWhistler intensities above thunderstorms
We report a study of penetration of the VLF electromagnetic waves induced by lightning to the ionosphere. We compare the fractional hop whistlers recorded by the ICE experiment onboard the DEMETER satellite with lightning detected by the EUCLID detection network. To identify the fractional hop whistlers, we have developed software for automatic detection of the fractional-hop whistlers in the V...
متن کاملSelective predation by Neomysis mercedis in Lake Washington1
Feeding experiments and examination of gut contents show that Neomysis mercedis is an effective predator on zooplankton in Lake Washington. Daphnia is consistently preferred to other prey; Diaptomus and Cyclops copepodids and nauplii are always underrepresented in mysid diets. This pattern of selectivity is consistent with the hypothesis that a large population of Neomysis formerly excluded Dap...
