Ice Concentration Retrieval in Stratiform Mixed-Phase Clouds Using Cloud Radar Reflectivity Measurements and 1-D Ice-Growth Model Simulations
Lenticular wave clouds are used as a natural laboratory to estimate the linear and mass growth rates of ice particles at temperatures from 2208 to 2328C and to characterize the apparent rate of ice nucleation at water saturation at a nearly constant temperature. Data are acquired from 139 liquid cloud penetrations flown approximately along or against the wind direction. A mean linear ice growth...
متن کاملRelative Humidity in Liquid, Mixed-Phase, and Ice Clouds
The results of in situ observations of the relative humidity in liquid, mixed, and ice clouds typically stratiform in nature and associated with mesoscale frontal systems at temperatures 45°C Ta 5°C are presented. The data were collected with the help of instrumentation deployed on the National Research Council (NRC) Convair-580. The length of sampled in-cloud space is approximately 23 10 km. T...
متن کاملFormation of mixed-phase particles during the freezing of polar stratospheric ice clouds.
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are extremely efficient at catalysing the transformation of photostable chlorine reservoirs into photolabile species, which are actively involved in springtime ozone-depletion events. Why PSCs are such efficient catalysts, however, is not well understood. Here, we investigate the freezing behaviour of ternary HNO₃-H₂SO₄-H₂O droplets of micrometric size, which f...
متن کاملLiquid fraction in stratiform mixed-phase clouds from in situ observations
Liquid fractions in mixed-phase clouds have been analysed using aircraft measurements taken in midand high latitude stratiform clouds. The liquid fraction generally increases with temperature but has a minimum at about −15 ◦C, where the maximum ice crystal growth based on vapour deposition would be expected. The mean liquid fraction also depends on total water content. This suggests that segreg...
