1. 1. Fragmentation in graupel snow collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Martanda Gautam; [2022]
   Keywords : Ecosystem Analysis; Clouds; Snow; Graupel; SIP; Fragmentation; CKE; Rime Fraction; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Aircraft observations of precipitating clouds with cloud top temperatures higher than -38°C have revealed that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) is responsible for presence of majority of ice particles. One such SIP mechanism is fragmentation via collisions between ice particles. READ MORE

3. 2. Snow-graupel collisions in clouds: a newly derived formulation for breakup of single crystals

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Victor Craig van der Brug; [2022]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Secondary Ice Production; Ice Cloud Number Concentration; Cloud Ice; Ice-Ice Collisions; Snow Crystal; Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. READ MORE

4. 3. Analysis of simulation of lightning in a cold-based convective storm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Linus Karlsson; [2018]
   Keywords : lightning; lightning flash; lightning discharge; cold-based convective cloud; convective cloud; microphysics; microphysical specie; cloud electrification; storm cell; convective storm cell; severe weather; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this paper a simulation of a convective cell of a thunderstorm system observed 19th of June 2000 during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) field campaign is being analysed. The storm system has been simulated with an Aerosol-Cloud model and the analysis is based on the output data. READ MORE

5. 4. Case study of the extreme precipitation events in the south-western part of Sweden, August 2014

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Anna Vesslén; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In August 2014, parts of south-western Sweden were flooded due to intense precipitation. It caused large material damages and problems in the infrastructure. Since the sea surface temperature (SST) was higher than normal during the month, it was speculated that it was one of the reasons for the heavy precipitation. READ MORE
