The Number and Size of Clouddroplets on Mointains and Free Atmosphere.
Abstract
SERIES OF MEASUREMENT WERE MADE CONCERNING THE SRUCTURE OF THE CLOUDS BY RITBERGER, who measured size and number of the drops on the Feldberg in the Black Forest and found the following theses: (1) at the small spectra no rain at all or only for a short tie will appear, (2) broad spectra are mostly accompanied by rain over longer time, (3) specra in high fog are on principle dffering from spectra in other clouds,AND (4) the three phases water-vapour, liquidwater and frozen water can be existent simultaneously for a longer time. In order to check these theses set up by RITTBERGER, smilar measurements were made upon the Hochalpine Forschungsstation Jungfraujoch in the Central Alps of Switzerland. At the same time the precipitation in the valleys was analysed carefully. In order to be able to control and generalize the results measured on mountain stations, flights were performed for measurements in the free atmosphere. (Author)
