The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE) has developed as the logical extension of the successful series of single cloud experiments conducted by NOAA's Experimental Meteorology Laboratory (now the Cumulus Group of the National Hurricane and Experimental Meteorology Laboratory) over the Caribbean and Florida. Although the results of FACE studies have been painstakingly reported in the literature, conversations with colleagues have made it obvious that the empirical and theoretical foundations for this experiment are not well understood. Confusion still exists in the minds of some as to the rationale for FACE and its design. The need exists then for a detailed exposition of all aspects of the FACE effort for consideration and discussion by the scientific community. With this report we attempt to fulfill this need.

Storm and Cloud Dynamics focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical prediction models. - Provides a complete treatment of clouds integrating the analysis of air motions with cloud structure, microphysics, and precipitation mechanics - Describes and explains the basic types of clouds and cloud systems that occur in the atmosphere-fog, stratus, stratocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, cirrus, thunderstorms, tornadoes, waterspouts, orographically induced clouds, mesoscale convection complexes, hurricanes, fronts, and extratropical cyclones - Summarizes the fundamentals, both observational and theoretical, of atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, cloud microphysics, and radar meteorology, allowing each type of cloud to be examined in depth - Integrates the latest field observations, numerical model simulations, and theory - Supplies a theoretical treatment suitable for the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, as well as post-graduate

During the 1972 IFYGL 'alert' periods, the highly instrumented NOAA/RFF/DC-6 aircraft was used to record the time series of wind, temperature, and water vapor at heights ranging from 18 to 300 m above the surface of Lake Ontario. The aircraft was equipped with a gust probe system, a fast response thermistor, a microwave refractometer (for water vapor measurements), and a downward-pointing IR system; as well as the normal in-flight measurement of standard meteorological parameters. The time series records have been found to display a highly intermittent nature. This is especially the case for evaporation when, in the fall, Polar Continental outbreaks move across the lake. In particular, such an outbreak of cold dry air moved across the lake at 12-15 m s−1 on 9 October 1972. This resulted in the air temperature at 30 m above the lake to drop from 12 to 6 C while the evaporation rate increased to more than 1 cm day−1. This may be compared with the 0.5 cm day−1 normal evaporation observed in the tropics during BOMEX. Furthermore, IR lake surface temperatures show cold regions (~5 C) along the north shore, presumably due to strong upwelling, while the center and south shore regions of the lake were of the order of 12 to 15C. The turbulent, flux quantities of momentum, heat, and water vapor were obtained by the eddy correlation technique and their spectra were determined at several locations over the lake surface for 3-minute sampling lengths. At the aircraft speed of 92 m s−1, this represents a flight path of ~17 km for both along wind and constant fetch patterns. The spectra demonstrate the tendency for the peak value to march to higher wavelengths with increasing height.

The modern man does a lot of running: running a business, running meetings, running up bills, running late, running the bath for the babies, running amok, running on empty, running around like a headless chook, running the gauntlet, running to the shops or running the kids to school.
