Stormfury 1965; Cumulus; Trade windsAbstract
The data reduction procedures used on the observations obtained from
the ESSA Research Flight Facility aircraft during the Stormfury 1965
operation is described. The results to be obtained eventually are cloud
liquid water content, volume median drop size, turbulent vertical
velocity, and buoyancy fluctuations in cloud passes made by the aircraft.

Some results of a trade cumulus cloud investigation
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1953-05)Cross sections through two trade cumulus clouds are presented, showing the temperatures, turbulence, and water vapor content of the clouds and their nearby environment, the cloud slope, and the external wind profile. ... -
On the structure of trade-wind air below cloud
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1956-08)The moisture and temperature structure of the trade-wind mixed layer are compared under conditions of strong versus weak trade. The data used are two series of aircraft psychrograph soundings made over the ocean near ... -
Concerning the structure of some cumulus clouds which penetrated the high tropical troposphere
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1954-03)Some extremely large oceanic trade-mind cumulonimbus clouds extending upwards of 40,000 ft. into a region of strong winds and intense vertical shear have been studied by means of time-lapse photography. A simultaneous still ...
