Atmospheric Technology Division Compare clouds in other meteorological meteorological regimes Comparison of kinematic and microphysical properties with those of deeper tropical convection in clean regions. (Stith)Comparison of kinematic and microphysical properties with those of deeper tropical convection in clean regions. (Stith) –Our recent studies indicate many similarities in the droplet/precipitation spectra (LWC, particle types) from clean tropical regions. These likely result from similar background levels of CCN, but are also a reflection of their similar kinematic (updraft, entrainment) properties. We hope to compare these data with that from the smaller clouds observed in RICO, which should have different kinematic properties, but similar CCN.
