RISSupersaturation and Droplet Spectral Evolution in Fog
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Droplet sizes, larger than expected, and transient water vapor supersaturations were measured in radiation fog. Nongradient turbulent mixing of saturated air parcels at different temperatures and the release of excess vapor ...
Microphysics of Marine Stratocumulus Clouds with Two Drizzle Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This observational study looks at the distribution of some cloud microphysical properties measured from the University of Washington's aircraft in mostly unbroken stratocumulus (Sc) clouds in the vicinity of the Azores ...
Liquid Water Content of Fogs and Hazes from Visible Light Scattering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new method is proposed for measuring the liquid water content of fogs and hazes. It consists of a planar circular light sensor placed perpendicular to and coaxial with a narrow collimated light beam of a visible wavelength. ...

Microstructure of a Radiation Fog
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative humidity, temperature, droplet size distribution and transmittance of light at 632.8 nm were measured in a radiation fog. A new saturation hygrometer capable of measuring relative humidity between ?95 and 105%, ...
A Saturation Hygrometer for the Measurement of Relative Humidity Between 95 and 105%
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new saturation hygrometer capable of measuring relative humidity between 95 and 105% is described. The hygrometer uses a thermally thin mirror on which condensation is controlled by limiting the exchange of ambient water ...
Absorption of 632.8 nm Radiation by Maritime Aerosols near Europe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The bulk single-scattering albedo of atmospheric particles was determined by simultaneously measuring the optical transmittance and the scattering of light in a multipass cell filled with concentrated ambient aerosol. ...
Evaporative and Radiative Cooling in POST Stratocumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uoyancy reversal by evaporative cooling in entrainment holes has a minimal influence on stratocumulus (Sc) observed during the Physics of Stratocumulus Top (POST) aircraft field study held off the California coast in 2008. ...
Response of FSSP-100 and PVM-100A to Small Ice Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orrection factors Cf are derived for ice-crystal volume and effective radius Re, measured by Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) and Particulate Volume Monitor (PVM) that are known to overestimate both parameters ...
Ground-Based FSSP and PVM Measurements of Liquid Water Content
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently published ground-based measurements of liquid water content (LWC) measured in fogs by two microphysical instruments, the FSSP-100 and PVM-100, are evaluated. These publications had suggested that the PVM-100 ...
