(SAC) UNITED STATES AIR FORCE DOW AIR FORCE BASE, MAINE Welcome to Dow Air Force Base. In its role as a Strategic Air Command heavy bomber base, Dow is one of the most vital and historic installations in the United States Air Force. Dow is located in the suburbs of Bangor, Maine and as such, is one of the eastern-most bases in the Continental United States. Because of the fact that a permanent change of station is most often a strange and confusing ex­ perience, probably the most important questions you have now are those concerning facilities that are available at Dow, the local community, the people with whom you will work and the machinery at your disposal to help minimize "settling in" problems. We hope the information contained in this guide will answer most of your questions and that you will find Dow and the city of Bangor a friendly community and that you will enjoy your tour here. EQUIPPED WITH B-26 light bombers during World War II, the 397th Bombardment Wing earned the Distinguished Unit Citation for action in Europe. 2 — Artist's Conception of New Gate for Dow. History of Dow AFB, Maine The origin of Dow Air Force Base dates back to When the 14th FW left Dow in October of 1948, August 19, 1923, when General “Billy” Mitchell landed the Maine Air National Guard began using the base as his flight of 26 airplanes, Martin bombers and DeHavi­ a training camp.

    ABSTRACT FARRINGTON, NATHANAEL CHRISTIAN. Numerical Weather Prediction of Stratus: Sensitivity to Aerosol Aware Microphysics. (Under the direction of Dr. Gary Lackmann.) Operational numerical weather prediction microphysics schemes commonly hold cloud droplet number concentration fixed domain-wide to increase computational efficiency. However, observations indicate wide variability of this quantity. Particularly, cloud condensation nucleus concentration has been observed to influence cloud droplet size, leading to changes in cloud radiative and microphysical properties. These changes have been shown to alter cloud depth, lifetime, and other characteristics of importance to operational forecasters. The advent of the Weather Research and Forecasting model version 3.6 includes the Thompson and Eidhammer radiation-coupled microphysics option which is double- moment for cloud water, accounts for some aerosol influences, and is designed for operational efficiency. Tests conducted here show that the new scheme successfully varies aerosol and cloud droplet number concentration temporally and spatially, while significantly altering the radiative properties and coverage of inland coastal stratus in the Pacific Northwest. However, tests also show that several other factors exercise greater sway over stratus coverage and lifetime relative to CCN concentration. © Copyright 2015 Nathanael C.
