ABSTRACT: Northeast China experiences significant snowstorms during winter. However, the microphysics of snowfall in this area remains poorly understood. This study aims to address this gap by comparing the microphysical characteristics and related meteorological conditions of wet and dry snow in Northeast China. The results indicate that the number concentration (NC) of wet snow is approximate…
ABSTRACT: The morning transition is the period when the planetary boundary layer (PBL) transitions from stable to unstable conditions. It is critical that numerical weather prediction (NWP) models sufficiently represent the various forcings that contribute to the PBL heat and moisture budgets during the morning transition, as they impact forecasts of air quality, turbulence, aerosol dispersion,…

Its purpose is to help students…
This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in aprint format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intenttionally to preserve its true nature.
Clouds affect our daily weather and play key roles in the global climate. Through their ability to precipitate, clouds provide virtually all of the fresh water on Earth and are a crucial link in the hydrologic cycle. With ever-increasing importance being placed on quantifiable predictions - from forecasting the local weather to anticipating climate change - we must understand how clouds operate…
This third edition of the book is a revision of previous edition in mathematical modelling and climate change additional chapters. This book is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students majoring in weather and climate science. The contents consist of explanation about the earth within the solar system, composition and physical properties of ocean and atmosphere, atmosphere-ocean intera…
