Laboratory and Flight Tests of 2D Imaging Probes: Toward a Better Understanding of Instrument Performance and the Impact on Archived Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) imaging probes, such as the 2D stereo (2D-S) probe and the cloud imaging probe (CIP), are routinely used to provide in situ measurements of cloud particle properties. The basic measurement is ...
Aircraft Observations of Cumulus Microphysics Ranging from the Tropics to Midlatitudes: Implications for a “New” Secondary Ice Process
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn situ data collected by three research aircraft in four geographical locations are analyzed to determine the relationship between cloud-base temperature, drop size distribution, and the development of supercooled ...
Light Scattering by Single Natural Ice Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the South Pole Ice Crystal Experiment, angular scattering intensities (ASIs) of single ice crystals formed in natural conditions were measured for the first time with the polar nephelometer instrument. The microphysical ...
Cirrus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he goal of this chapter is to synthesize information about what is now known about one of the three main types of clouds, cirrus, and to identify areas where more knowledge is needed. Cirrus clouds, composed of ice particles, ...
Quasi-Spherical Ice in Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omogeneous freezing of supercooled droplets occurs in convective systems in low and midlatitudes. This droplet-freezing process leads to the formation of a large amount of small ice particles, so-called frozen droplets, ...
Indirect and Semi-direct Aerosol Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive dataset of microphysical and radiative properties of aerosols and clouds in the boundary layer in the vicinity of Barrow, Alaska, was collected in April 2008 during the Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol ...
