1 Evolution of small cumulus clouds in Florida: Observations of Pulsating Growth Jeffrey R. French, Gabor Vali, Robert D. Kelly

2 Small Cumulus Microphysics Study (SCMS) When: 1995.08.05, 1995.08.07 6 clouds Where:

3 Instrumentations One ground-based radar X /S- band, dual wavelength, Air-borne W-band radar Instrumented aircraft (CCN Spectrometer)

4 Brag Scattering Permittivity Refractive index Temperature Electromagnetic waves can be reflected due to refractive index irregularities

5 Are Two Observations Consistent?

6 Observations from Cp-2 When: 1995.08.05

7 Observations from Cp-2 When: 1995.08.07

8 Observations from W-band Radar

9 Time Height Cross Sections of Z When: 1995.0805 & 199508.07

10 Z Flux in C8 When: 1995.08.05

11 Z Flux in C10 When: 1995.08.05

12 Maximum Correlation Coefficients and Echo Top
