Microphysical Characteristics of Clouds in ACE-Asia
Abstract
A summary of the microphysical characteristics of clouds sampled during the recent ACE-Asia campaign is presented. Data was collected from the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft during ferry flights, which encountered substantial amounts of clouds, and from occasional cloud encounters during aerosol sampling flights. The results include a summary of droplet size distributions, liquid water contents, the concentrations of precipitation, the vertical wind structure and other cloud parameters.
