A simple 2D non-stationary parcel model has been elaborated by coupling kinematics and microphysics of ice crystals, for the purpose retrieving realistic trajectories in a cirrus uncinus, with hooked-shape head or cap, trail virga, observed lifetimes. Prescribed ambient physics includes vertical profiles horizontal winds updraft, air temperature humidity. Modelled combines mass variation deposi...

Abstract. To determine the impact of dynamic and aerosol processes on marine low clouds, we examine seasonal updraft speed w cloud condensation nuclei concentration at 0.43 % supersaturation (NCCN0.43%) droplet number (NC) low-level clouds over western North Atlantic Ocean. Aerosol properties were measured with instruments board NASA LaRC Falcon HU-25 during ACTIVATE (Aerosol Cloud meTeorology ...

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) on the Operational Environmental Satellite 16 (GOES-16) detects total lightning continuously, with a high spatial resolution and detection efficiency. Coincident data from GLM Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) are used to explore correlation between cloud top properties flash activity across continental United States (CONUS) sector May September 2020.
