Measurement of Cloud Condensation Nuclei, Light Scattering Coefficient, Sodium-Containing Particles, and Aitken Nuclei in the Olympic Mountains of Washington
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements have been made of the concentrations of cloud condensation nuclei, sodium-containing particles, Aitken nuclei, and the magnitude of the light scattering coefficient of the air, for a period of two ...
An Improved Automatic Cloud Condensation Nucleus Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The original automatic cloud condensation nucleus counter developed by Radke and Hobbs has been improved by reducing the size and weight of the instrument and increasing the sampling rate. In comparison tests with four ...
An Automatic Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud condensation nuclei counter has been developed in which the concentration of water droplets which form on cloud condensation nuclei in a large thermal diffusion chamber is determined electronically by measuring the ...
The Design and Evaluation of an Airborne Optical Ice Particle Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An airborne instrument which provides real-time measurements of the concentrations of ice particles in excess of a certain size has been developed. The instrument utilizes a beam of polarized light and the birefringent ...
Springtime Visibility in the Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since the Ptarmigan flights in the 1950s, the springtime visibility reduction in the Arctic has been identified with pollution aerosol. However, observed values of the dry aerosol extinction coefficient are too small to ...
Quantifying and Minimizing Uncertainty of Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anthropogenic aerosols are composed of a variety of aerosol types and components including water-soluble inorganic species (e.g., sulfate, nitrate, ammonium), condensed organic species, elemental or black carbon, and mineral ...
