Numerical Estimates of Humidity in a Membrane–Filter Ice Nucleus Chamber
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional model was developed to examine humidity fields within a conditioning chamber for measuring ice nucleus concentrations on millipore filters. Representative concentrations of ice and cloud condensation ...
Hudson Valley Fog Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of 14 cases of radiation fog in the Hudson River valley in New York State are presented. Our emphasis is to connect the fog prediction problem to mechanisms in the nocturnal boundary layer that influence heat ...
An Automatic Light Scattering CCN Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automatic instrument for the measurement of cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) concentrations utilizing a thermal gradient diffusion chamber and light scattering has been developed. The concentration of droplets (activated ...
Factors Affecting Ice Nucleus Concentration Measurements with a Static Vapor-Diffusion Chamber
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents some findings and recommendations for obtaining more reliable information from ice nucleus concentration measurements with the membrane filter technique commonly in use. Variables related to chamber ...
Climatological Aspects of Radiation Fog Occurrence at Albany, New York
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present a detailed investigation of the local radiation fog climatology, carried out in support of our ongoing field program to study radiation fog mechanisms at Albany, New York. At Albany, a distinct ?radiation fog ...
Fog-82: A Cooperative Field Study of Radiation Fog
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud Physics Section of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center-State University of New York at Albany conducted a cooperative field study (FOG-82) during the autumn of 1982 as part of an ongoing radiation-fog research ...
Measurements of Visual Range and Radiation-Fog (Haze) Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An extensive boundary-layer field program was conducted which included simultaneous measurements of visibility and particle size distributions during fog and haze. Several empirical expressions relating changes in visibility ...
The Design, Construction, and Use of an Ice Crystal Counter for Ice Crystal Cloud Studies by Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An aircraft instrument is described that gives a real-time measurement of the number of ice crystal particles per unit volume in cirriform clouds. Its method of detection is based on the mechanisms of contact electrification, ...
