ACOUSTIC MEASUREMENT OF SUPERSATURATION IN A WARM CLOUD,

Abstract

The degree of supersaturation in a natural cloud is usually estimated by noting the updraft, or in a cloud chamber, by means of the adiabatic expansion or vapor pressure curve. No instrument is in existence at this time for a direct measurement. This paper proposes an acoustic approach whereby the degree of supersaturation may be determined in a warm cloud, limited only by the sophistication of the associated electronic equipment. (Author)
