Abstract: The performance of a new type of sonic anemometer?thermometer (called a sonic), the Solent-Research HS, manufactured by Gill Instruments, Lymington, United Kingdom, was investigated. Measurements of the three wind-velocity ...

Abstract: n time scales that are long compared to the phase relaxation time, a quasi-steady supersaturation sqs is expected to exist in clouds. On shorter time scales, however, turbulent fluctuations of temperature and water vapor ...

Abstract: The helicopter-borne instrument payload known as the Airborne Cloud Turbulence Observation System (ACTOS) was used to study the entrainment and mixing processes in shallow warm cumulus clouds. The characteristics of the ...

Abstract: Tethered balloon?borne measurements with a resolution in the order of 10 cm in a cloudy boundary layer are presented. Two examples sampled under different conditions concerning the clouds' stage of life are discussed. The ...

Abstract: The use of a hot-wire anemometer for high-resolution turbulence measurements in a two-phase flow (e.g., atmospheric clouds) is discussed. Experiments in a small wind tunnel (diameter of 0.2 and 2 m in length) with a mean ...

Abstract: igh-resolution measurements of the turbulent, thermodynamic, and microphysical structure of the edges of trade wind cumuli have been performed with the Airborne Cloud Turbulence Observation System. Lateral entrainment of ...

Abstract: Helicopter-based measurements provide an opportunity for probing the finescale dynamics and microphysics of clouds simultaneously in space and time. Due to the low true air speed compared with research aircraft, a helicopter ...

Abstract: Helicopter-borne observations with unprecedented high resolution provide new insights in the fine-scale structure of marine boundary layer clouds and aerosol stratification over the Eastern North Atlantic.We report on the ...
