THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE SHAPE OF ICE CRYSTALS GROWING AT WATER SATURATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Investigations regarding the influence of temperature on the shape of ice crystals, grown at water saturation, were carried out in a room-size cold chamber. It was found that the principal shape of the ice crystals?i.e., ...
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL AEROSOLS AS FREEZING NUCLEI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the effectiveness of natural and artificial freezing-nuclei were carried out in a room-size cold chamber. The concentration of natural nuclei varied from approximately one per liter at about ?13C to 1000 ...
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CUMULUS CLOUDS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of droplet size and visibility have been made at different levels above the base of all types of cumulus clouds. The evaluation of these data permits calculations of corresponding values of water content and ...
TRABERT'S FORMULA AND THE DETERMINATION OF THE WATER CONTENT IN CLOUDS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With use of cloud data collected in all types of cumulus clouds, it is shown that the constant in the Trabert equation is not actually a constant but varies with the character of the droplet spectrum. Trabert's formula ...
A CONTINUOUSLY RECORDING WATER-CONTENT METER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple airborne instrument is described which continuously measures the liquid-water content in ?warm? and supercooled clouds. It is largely temperature independent and has a half-value time of approximately 0.5 second.
