Considerations in the Measurement of Pollution Effects on the Number Concentration of Cloud Condensation Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pollution effects on cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) concentration vary widely, sometimes even decreasing the CCN. The interpretation of these pollution effects may be invalid if the nuclei are measured by expansion-type ...
Measurements of Water-Ice Budget Changes at −5C in AgI-Seeded Tropical Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1965 Project Stormfury experiments a combination of six cloud physics aircraft instruments were used to measure the changes in the water-ice budget in a large tropical cumulus which had been seeded. Pyrotechnic ...
Cloud Particle Replication in Stormfury Tropical Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An aircraft instrument which provides continuous replication of water droplets and ice particles as an aircraft traverses a cloud is described. The instrument makes use of a continuously moving 16-mm film on which a Formvar ...
Glaciation of a Cumulus at Approximately −4C
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A long-lived cumulus cloud off the southern coast of Australia was found to contain ice crystals, even though the coldest temperature in it was about ?4C. Two instrumented aircraft made successive passes through the cloud ...
Vertical Profiles of CCN at Various Geographical Locations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the number density, volatility and supersaturation spectra of CCN during aircraft soundings to about 15,000 ft MSL over Arizona, Central Pacific, Alaska, and in a convective region over Florida, and on five ...
