MEASUREMENT OF DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS IN NATURAL CLOUDS AND RAIN

Abstract

Some fog drop size distributions taken during Operation Catfeet are presented. Calibration droplets with a range of positive and negative charges may be generated by control of the bulk water supply voltage, without affecting the response of the electrostatic probe used to size and count them.
