The Monterey Area Ship Track Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In June 1994 the Monterey Area Ship Track (MAST) experiment was conducted off the coast of California to investigate the processes behind anthropogenic modification of cloud albedo. The motivation for the MAST experiment ...
Cloud Droplet Residual Particle Microphysics in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds Observed during the Monterey Area Ship Track Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of marine boundary layer pollution level (as determined by the aerosol particle number concentration) on the size distribution of aerosol particles that formed cloud droplets in marine stratiform clouds is ...
Comparisons of Airborne CVI and FSSP Measurements of Cloud Droplet Number Concentrations in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparisons of counterflow virtual impactor (CVI) and forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) measurements of cloud droplet number concentrations obtained by two different aircraft in marine boundary layer stratocumulus ...
Small Ice Crystals in Cirrus Clouds: A Model Study and Comparison with In Situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An air parcel model including homogeneous freezing nucleation of ice crystals has been used to study the formation and development of cirrus clouds. In situ measurements taken during March 1994 over southern Germany were ...
Dynamical Influences on Cirrus Cloud Formation Process
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An air parcel model has been used to study dynamic influences on cirrus cloud microphysical processes. Representative data selected from a measurement campaign carried out over southern Germany during March 1994 were used ...
Combustion Organic Aerosol as Cloud Condensation Nuclei in Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been sampled in marine stratiform clouds to identify the contribution of anthropogenic combustion emissions in activation of aerosol to cloud droplets. The Monterey Area Ship ...
A Case Study of Ship Track Formation in a Polluted Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of the effects of ship emissions on the microphysical, radiative, and chemical properties of polluted marine boundary layer clouds is presented. Two ship tracks are discussed in detail. In situ measurements ...
A Case Study of Ships Forming and Not Forming Tracks in Moderately Polluted Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of anthropogenic particulate emissions from ships on the radiative, microphysical, and chemical properties of moderately polluted marine stratiform clouds are examined. A case study of two ships in the same air ...
