RESEARCH ON THE PROPERTIES OF CLOUD SYSTEMS

Abstract

The report contains studies made of the properties of high cloud systems, and in particular of the warm-front cirrus system. High level photographic reconnaissance of cloud systems over Europe and the Mediterranean has begun, and the study of the relation between cirrus systems and the high tropospheric flow is being extended into a large region in the tropics.
