Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the basic report for this supplement, estimates were provided for extreme rainfall intensities and associated liquid water content at altitude with 0.1 and 0.5 percent probabilities in the most severe month in the rainy tropics. Analagous values were also included for two all-time record rain storms: one for 1 min, and the other lasting 42 min. In this brief supplement, drop-size distributions are developed for the 1-min record, and the 0.1 and 0.5 percent 'Worst Month Tropics' from a theoretical expression that best fits the available empirical size distributions. Liquid water content obtained from an integral of this theoretical expression is compared to the liquid water content obtained by arithmetically adding the volumes of each drop for three drop-size distributions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extremes of precipitation aloft--which would be exceeded with only 0. 5 percent probability in the rainy tropics during the rainiest months--are mandatory for design of military equipment that must operate at altitude any place in the world. Also needed are greatest extremes at altitude which should be considered in design when equipment failure, during encounters of improbable intensities, would endanger human life. Frequency distributions of such rainfall intensities and the associated liquid water content in the precipitation and clouds are not available in the climatic inventory. By extrapolating upward, there are developed nearly instantaneous surface precipitation intensities with appropriate probabilities, utilizing available research data, four models, and tabulations of water content aloft. Complete findings are presented in a single table which includes intensities, liquid water content of precipitation, and liquid water content of cloud particles for nine levels up to 18 km for storms applicable to MIL-STD-210B design philosophy.

Download or read book Synopsis of Background Material for MIL STD 210B Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment written by Norman Sissenwine and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Design Climatology Branch of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories had the scientific responsibility for leading a DoD Task Group effort to revise MIL-STD-210A 'Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment'. This document represents the fruition of the goals of the task group. It relates the background studies supporting the values in MIL-STD-210B, so that MIL-STD-210B users need to consult only this single document for an elaboration on the MIL- STD-210B extremes. In addition, the report contains information on the origin, necessity for and the events leading to a revision of MIL-STD-210A. Discussions of the major changes in the Standard's philosophy and its contents are also provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the microphysical properties observed by a specially-instrumented C-130 while flying in portions of a large cloud system on 3 successive days in March 1978. Each of the flights was made slightly east of an upper level trough as it moved across the U.S. Horizontal sampling passes of 50 to 100 nm (93 to 186 km) in length were made at various levels from approximately 2 to 9 km above ground in portions of the cloud system that were relatively homogeneous horizontally and vertically. Particle spectra data from PMS 1-D spectrometers were averaged for consecutive 20-sec periods. On each of the 3 days the particles having the smallest mean size were observed at the highest levels flown and had median diameters near 100 micrometers. The calculated equivalent liquid water content from 7 to 9 km was near 0.0 1 g cu m. The total particle count was between 8,000 and 18,000 cu m over Arkansas and coastal Delaware, but was near 25,000 cu m over the mountains of New Mexico. Values of mass and particle size increased with particle distance fallen, by indicating growth by collective means. The largest equivalent liquid water content values were near 1 g cu m and were recorded in the large snow just above the freezing level. The form factor, a mathematical parameter, was found useful in studying particle spectra. Certain maxima and minima observed in several plotted spectra, especially those from 7-km altitude data, are suggested as being due to an aggregation mechanism. (Author).

Download or read book Model Vertical Profiles of Extreme Rainfall Rate Liquid Water Content and Drop size Distribution written by Paul Tattelman and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a new model of hydrometeors and associated cloud-water content from the surface to 20 km. The model profiles at altitude were developed based on five surface rainfall rates: 36, 84, 168, 432, and 1872 mm/hr. The first three rates correspond to a frequency of occurrence of 0.5 percent, 0.1 percent, and 0.01 percent of the time during the worst month in the most severe area of the world for intense rainfall. The last two are the 42- and 1-min world record rainfalls. The surface rainfall rates were extrapolated aloft using results from previous studies. A large sample of drop-size distributions from intense rainfall collected during reconnaisance of Atlantic hurricanes/ tropical storms was analyzed. The data set was normalized and fit by a gamma distribution. This was used to specify the drop-size distributions and liquid water content for rainfall rates specifies at the surface and aloft. Concurrent cloud-water content was estimated. Results are presented at 2-km intervals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric attenuation of millimeter and submillimeter waves is calculated for clear, fog, cloud and rain atmospheres. The frequency range considered is 1-1000 GHz. The clear atmospheres transmission spectra is calculated by a computer efficient algorithm of AFGL's HITRAN code. This new code is called FASCODE-1. The hydrometeor attenuation of fog, clouds and rain (precipitation), calculated by Mie scattering is addend to FASCODE-1. Models of fog, clouds and rain typical of mid-latitude temperate regions are used in calculations of transmission and attenuation.
