UHF-band vertically-pointing radar observations of a winter upslope snowstorm (NorthAmerican Central High Plains) at Boulder Colorado (USA) on 14 Feb 2008. The upper panel correspond to a time-height cross section of radar reflectivity factor (in dBZ), and the lower panel to a time-height cross section of vertical Doppler velocity (in m s-1 , positive downwards), both according to the color scale on the right. The Y-axis corresponds to height in km above the ground level, and the Y axis to UTC time. Image courtesy of Dr. William Brown (NCAR, Earth Observing Laboratory).

Dynamic exchange among water solid, liquid and vapor phases determines the evolution of cloud and precipitation particles in the atmosphere. This work presents observations of water phase dynamics that demonstrates the theoretical Wegener-Bergeron-Findeisen concepts in mixed- phase winter-cloud systems. For this, the work analyzes vertical profiles...

This paper addresses the problem of the large discrepancies between ice crystal concentrations in clouds and the number of ice nuclei in nearby clear air reported in published papers. Such discrepancies cannot always be explained, even by taking into account both primary and secondary ice formation processes. A laboratory experiment was performed i...

This work presents observations of water phase dynamics that demonstrate the theoretical Wegener-Bergeron-Findeisen concepts in mixed-phase winter storms. The work analyzes vertical profiles of air vapor pressure, and equilibrium vapor pressure over liquid water and ice. Based only on the magnitude ranking of these vapor pressures, we identified co...
