MEASUREMENT OF DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT IN NATURAL CLOUDS

Abstract

A previously developed electric cloud drop probe was reconstructed and extensively flown in a private aircraft. In an almost routine manner, large quantities of cloud observations were made which verify the previously claimed capability of the system to measure water drops in the size range three to sixty microns 4diameter.
