Abstract: A new instrument for measuring the temperature of air in clouds from an aircraft is described. The instrument uses a very fine thermometric sensor located behind a thin rod that protects the sensor from direct contact with ...

Abstract: A model of the dynamically inactive parts of cumulus cloud (i.e., void of bulk, organized vertical drafts) is proposed. It is assumed that such parts of clouds consist of coarse filaments of saturated, droplet-containing ...

Abstract: A method is presented for stabilizing the temperature of air to allow the use of temperature-sensitive, humidity sensors for direct determination of an invariant humidity characteristic such as specific humidity and/or its ...

Abstract: The ultrafast aircraft thermometer, built for measuring temperature in clouds at flight speeds up to 100 m?s?1, employs a 2.5-?m-thick platinum-coated tungsten wire as a sensing element. When temperature increases, the ...

Abstract: A new aircraft device for measuring temperature in clouds is described. Its sensor is a resistance thermometer made of platinum-coated tungsten wire 5 mm long and 2.5 ?m in diameter. The sensor is located on a rotatable ...

Abstract: A new version of an ultrafast aircraft resistance thermometer (UFT-F) with a time constant of the order 10?4 s,for use in both cloudy and cloudless air, is described. It evolved from an earlier version (UFT-S). Its sensing ...
