Use of Holography for Airborne Cloud Physics Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of the holographic cloud particle imaging system developed by the Cloud Physics Branch of the Meteorological Office and carried on the C-130 Hercules aircraft of the Meteorological Research Flight (MRF) has hitherto ...
Measurements of the Ice Water Content in Cirrus Using an Evaporative Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for the measurement of the ice water content (IWC) of cirrus clouds is described. The IWC is obtained by the measurement of the total water content (TWC) and the subtraction of the saturation specific humidity ...
Improved Measurements of the Ice Water Content in Cirrus Using a Total-Water Probe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note describes an improved method for the measurement of the ice water content (IWC) of cirrus cloud using a total water content probe. A previous version of this technique assumed that the air in cloud-containing ...
A Comparison of In-Cloud Measurements Obtained with Six PMS 2D-C Probes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During a preparatory experiment (PREICE) for the field campaign of the International Cirrus Experiment (ICE), six different Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) 2D-C probes belonging to five research organizations were ...
Radar Scattering from Ice Aggregates Using the Horizontally Aligned Oblate Spheroid Approximation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he assumed relationship between ice particle mass and size is profoundly important in radar retrievals of ice clouds, but, for millimeter-wave radars, shape and preferred orientation are important as well. In this paper ...
The role of precipitation in controlling the transition from stratocumulus to cumulus clouds in a northern hemisphere cold-air outbreak
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ircraft observations in a cold-air outbreak to the north of the United Kingdom are used to examine the boundary layer and cloud properties in an overcast mixed-phase stratocumulus cloud layer and across the transition to ...
