Description
A little cloud becomes all sorts of things--a sheep, an airplane, trees, a hat--before joining other clouds and raining.

Description
This study focuses upon the mechanisms by which mountains and synoptic weather systems interact to produce characteristic orographic cloud systems. In each of the three case studies, a synoptic cloud component, an orographic cloud component, and a convective cloud component were identified through the analysis of rawinsonde data, vertically pointing radar data, and visual observations.

Description
Digital imagery from the SMS 2 geostationary satellite was recorded for analysis in support of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project. Imagery of five storms during the 1976 77 and 1977 78 seasons of the project were analyzed. Results show the highest precipitation and lowest cloud top temperatures below 35° C occur about one or two hours ahead of the surface cold front within the frontal band. Following the frontal passage an unstable convective orographic...

Description
Recent work has suggested that large amounts of anthropogenic sulfate aerosol reduce riming efficiency in some mixed-phase clouds leading to a decrease in snowfall rate. This study investigates this aerosol effect in the Colorado Park Range for four winter storm cases in February 2005.

Description
Satellite photographs during the summer months frequently reveal a weather situation in which strong convective development is observed over the Rocky Mountains and several hundred kilometers to the east of the mountains, while the region immediately to the lee is essentially cloud free. It is proposed that an orographically induced mesoscale wave phenomenon may produce this situation.
