Numerical simulations and Arctic observations of surface wind effects on Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera measurements
Kyle E. Fitch, Chaoxun Hang, Ahmad Talaei +1
Ground-based measurements of frozen precipitation are heavily influenced by interactions of surface winds with gauge-shield geometry. The Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC), which…
Analytical solutions for precipitation size distributions at steady-state
Timothy J. Garrett
Analytical solutions are derived for the steady-state size distributions of precipitating rain and snow particles assuming growth via collection of suspended cloud particles. Appli…
Thermodynamic constraints on the size distributions of tropical clouds
Timothy J. Garrett, Ian B. Glenn, Steven K. Krueger
Tropical convective clouds evolve over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, and this makes them difficult to simulate numerically. Here, we propose that their statistical p…
Modes of Growth in Dynamic Systems
Timothy J. Garrett
Regardless of a system's complexity or scale, its growth can be considered to be a spontaneous thermodynamic response to a local convergence of down-gradient material flows. Here i…
No way out? The double-bind in seeking global prosperity alongside mitigated climate change
Timothy J. Garrett
In a prior study, I introduced a simple economic growth model designed to be consistent with general thermodynamic laws. Unlike traditional economic models, civilization is viewed…
Are there basic physical constraints on future anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide?
Timothy J. Garrett
Global Climate Models (GCMs) provide forecasts of future climate warming using a wide variety of highly sophisticated anthropogenic CO2 emissions models as input, each based on the…
