Wyoming Cloud Lidar: instrument description and applications.
The Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL), a compact two-channel elastic lidar, was designed to obtain cloud measurements together with the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) on the University of Wyoming King Air and the National Science Foundation/National Center of Atmospheric Research C-130 aircraft. The WCL has been deployed in four field projects under a variety of atmospheric and cloud conditions during the l...
متن کاملAssessment of cloud supersaturation by size-resolved aerosol particle and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements
In this study we show how size-resolved measurements of aerosol particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) can be used to characterize the supersaturation of water vapor in a cloud. The method was developed and applied during the ACRIDICON-Zugspitze campaign (17 September to 4 October 2012) at the high-Alpine research station Schneefernerhaus (German Alps, 2650 m a.s.l.). Number size distrib...
متن کاملSupersaturation in the Boolean lattice
We prove a “supersaturation-type” extension of both Sperner’s Theorem (1928) and its generalization by Erdős (1945) to k-chains. Our result implies that a largest family whose size is x more than the size of a largest k-chain free family and that contains the minimum number of k-chains is the family formed by taking themiddle (k−1) rows of the Boolean lattice and x elements from the kthmiddle r...
متن کاملThe isothermal haze chamber with discontinuous flow: a new experimental device for CCN measurements at low supersaturation
Ž . An isothermal haze chamber IHC has been designed, incorporating results from the tests of Ž . earlier instruments held at the 1981 Reno NV workshop. This instrument, named isothermal haze Ž . chamber with discontinuous flow IHCDF , periodically discontinues the flow through the haze chamber in order to form a well-defined region of 100% RH in the center of the chamber. Indeed, tests perform...
متن کاملMapping the Operation of the DMT Continuous Flow CCN Counter
This work thoroughly analyzes a new commercial instrument for measuring Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN), the Droplet Measurement Technologies Cylindrical Continuous-Flow Streamwise Thermal Gradient CCN Chamber (CFSTGC). This instrument can measure CCN concentrations at supersaturations from 0.06% to 3% (potentially up to 6%), at a 1 Hz sampling rate that is sufficient for airborne operation. Ou...
