A Hail Size Distribution Impact Transducer
A Hail Size Distribution Impact Transducer John E. Lanea, Robert C. Youngquistb, William D. Haskella, and Robert B. Coxa aASRC Aerospace Corporation, P.O. Box 21087, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32815 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 [email protected] Abstract: An active impact transducer has been designed and tested for the purpose of monitor- ing hail fall in the vicinity of the Space Shuttle launch pads. An important outcome of this design is the opportunity to utilize frequency analysis to discriminate between the audio signal generat- ed from raindrop impacts and that of hailstone impacts. The sound of hail impacting a metal plate is subtly but distinctly different than the sound of rain impacts. This useful characteristic permits application of signal processing algorithms that are inherently more robust than tech- niques relying on amplitude processing alone in the implementation of a hail disdrometer. 1 1. Introduction Impact disdrometers have long been a useful meteorological tool to measure and quantify rainfall drop size distributions, where a drop momentum is converted into a single electrical im- pulse.1,2 The electrical impulse amplitude is converted to an estimate of drop diameter by means of an empirical calibration formula. The calibration may be a one-time procedure involving dropping numerous known-size-calibration drops from a tower of sufficient height to achieve terminal velocity. The test drop sizes must adequately span the size range of interest. Alternative- ly, or as a supplement to the single drop calibration, an in situ method of comparing the sum of accumulated drop impulses to the tip time interval of a tipping-bucket rain gauge may be uti- lized.3 Prior to launch, the Space Shuttle and other NASA launch vehicles are primarily large ther- mos bottles containing substantial quantities of cryogenic fuels.

ICE COVERED LAKES Ice Formation Thermal Regime
I ICE COVERED LAKES Ice formed from the underside of the ice sheet has crys- tals with columnar structure; it is possible to see through the ice. Such ice is called black ice. Ice can also be formed Lars Bengtsson in a slush layer between the snow and the top of the ice.

East Antarctic Sea Ice in Spring: Spectral Albedo of Snow, Nilas, Frost Flowers and Slush, and Light-Absorbing Impurities in Snow
Annals of Glaciology 56(69) 2015 doi: 10.3189/2015AoG69A574 53 East Antarctic sea ice in spring: spectral albedo of snow, nilas, frost flowers and slush, and light-absorbing impurities in snow Maria C. ZATKO, Stephen G. WARREN Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Spectral albedos of open water, nilas, nilas with frost flowers, slush, and first-year ice with both thin and thick snow cover were measured in the East Antarctic sea-ice zone during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems eXperiment II (SIPEX II) from September to November 2012, near 658 S, 1208 E. Albedo was measured across the ultraviolet (UV), visible and near-infrared (nIR) wavelengths, augmenting a dataset from prior Antarctic expeditions with spectral coverage extended to longer wavelengths, and with measurement of slush and frost flowers, which had not been encountered on the prior expeditions. At visible and UV wavelengths, the albedo depends on the thickness of snow or ice; in the nIR the albedo is determined by the specific surface area. The growth of frost flowers causes the nilas albedo to increase by 0.2±0.3 in the UV and visible wavelengths. The spectral albedos are integrated over wavelength to obtain broadband albedos for wavelength bands commonly used in climate models. The albedo spectrum for deep snow on first-year sea ice shows no evidence of light- absorbing particulate impurities (LAI), such as black carbon (BC) or organics, which is consistent with the extremely small quantities of LAI found by filtering snow meltwater.

Icebergs Lesson by Pat Williams, Eugene, OR
TEACHER BACKGROUND Unit 1 - The Ocean Icebergs Lesson by Pat Williams, Eugene, OR Key Concepts 1. Large quantities of water on the earth exist as a solid in the form of ice and snow, including glaciers and icebergs. 2. Water is unique among liquids in that it becomes less dense as it turns to solid ice, a fact which allows ice to float on liquid water. 3. Water can change from a solid (ice) to a liquid. 4. Ice melts faster when broken into little pieces. Background Sea Ice and Icebergs When we think of the world ocean, often we picture rolling waves as far as the eye can see. While this is an accurate picture, it is not the only one. At the poles, vast reaches of the ocean are covered by ice. As winter approaches the north or south pole, air temperatures fall so low that seawater begins to freeze, forming a layer of slush. The slush congeals into sheets of new sea ice. In turn, these sheets of ice are broken into “pancakes” by waves and wind. As freezing continues the pancakes unite to form larger masses called floes. Some ice floes move with the currents and wind, shifting constantly. Others remain anchored to land. Other ice also floats in the sea. In both the northern and southern polar regions, giant masses of ice, called icebergs, break away from glaciers. Icebergs produced in the Arctic drift south as far as New England and into the busy shipping lanes of the North Atlantic. It was one of these icebergs that caused the infamous sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage in 1912, killing 1,517 people.
