Abstract: The cloud?environment mixing process is considered in terms of fractal properties of the cloud-clear air interface. The fractal dimension of the cloud surface is estimated from high-resolution airborne data. The value ...

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. ...

Abstract: The existence small-scale inhomogeneities in cumulus clouds leads to a reinterpretation of the experimental data on total water mixing ratio Q and wet equivalent potential temperature ?q. This reinterpretation indicates ...

Abstract: Cloud?clear air mixing at scales from 1 mm to 1 m is observed in a laboratory chamber. Cross sections through the volume in which the mixing takes place are obtained by illuminating a planar sheet of cloud with laser light ...

Abstract: Fractal analyses of individual cloud droplet distributions using aircraft measurements along one-dimensional horizontal cross sections through clouds are performed. Box counting and cluster analyses are used to determine ...

Abstract: A new aircraft device for measuring temperature in clouds is described. Its sensor is a resistance thermometer made of platinum-coated tungsten wire 5 mm long and 2.5 ?m in diameter. The sensor is located on a rotatable ...

Abstract: AbstractThe authors have analyzed the scaling behavior of marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds using high-resolution temperature (T) and liquid water content (LWC) fluctuations from aircraft measurements collected over the ...

Abstract: This note presents an analysis of several dozens of direct numerical simulations of the cloud?clear air mixing in a setup of decaying moist turbulence with bin microphysics. The goal is to assess the instantaneous relationship ...

Abstract: This paper extends the previously published numerical study of Andrejczuk et al. on microscale cloud?clear air mixing. Herein, the primary interest is on microphysical transformations. First, a convergence study is ...

Abstract: A new version of an ultrafast aircraft resistance thermometer (UFT-F) with a time constant of the order 10?4 s,for use in both cloudy and cloudless air, is described. It evolved from an earlier version (UFT-S). Its sensing ...
