CAMEX-3 Cloud and Aerosol Particle Characterization (CAPAC)
Entry ID:
dc8capac
Summary
Abstract:
Cloud and aerosol particles are exposed to laser light to measure
particle size from 0.3 micrometer to 6.4 millimeter, and both size and shape between 40 micrometer and 6.4 millimeter particle diameter as function of particle size. The size distributions thus; determined will be integrated to yield particle surface area, and ice and liquid water contents in clouds and precipitation. Video information may be obtained by contacting the GHRC user services office directly either by phone or email using the information provided in the contact information section below.

The strain-grids were surveyed using Leica series 399 dual-frequency GPS receivers. The stop-and-go technique was chosen for this work as it provides a very efficient and relatively robust method for surveying large numbers of points in areas with good horizon ...
