Observations of the Geographical Variation of Cloud Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements at flight level of cloud nuclei have been carried out during approximately 100,000mi of flight over wide areas of the world. A thermal diffusion chamber was used to obtain cloud-nucleispectra which ...
Accuracy Limitations on CCN Measurements with Thermal Gradient Diffusion Chambers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Limitations on the accuracy of CCN counts obtained with thermal gradient diffusion cloud chambers (TGDCC) are discussed. Evidence presented here regarding 1) the absence of a well-defined plateau when the number of CCN in ...
A Comparison of Two CCN Counters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of careful laboratory comparisons were made between two very different CCN counters. The two instruments gave consistent results which were within about 20% on the average.
Experimental Verification of the Theoretical Relationship Between Size and Critical Supersaturation of Salt Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Polydisperse NACl and (NH4)2SO4 salt particles were passed through a Goetz centrifuge, which transmitted only those particles smaller than the cutoff size of the centrifuge. In one set of experiments the sample from the ...
On the Source and Composition of Cloud Nuclei in a Subsident Air Mass over the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the concentration of cloud nuclei, which are activated at a supersaturation of 0.75%, were made aboard an aircraft at various altitudes in a subsident air mass over the North Atlantic Ocean and on the cast ...
