Visibility within and Electromagnetic Transmission through Natural Clouds and Fogs,

Abstract

A substantial amount of field data obtained in recent cloud and fog experiments conducted at Great Dun Fell (GDF) is currently under analysis, and will be reported subsequently. In this report we concentrate on two activities falling within the scope of grant AFOSR-78-3511A. The first is an analysis of the meteorology and water characteristics of some clouds and fogs enveloping the GDF laboratory, which were examined by the UMIST groups, in collaboration with scientist from the Meteorological Office. The second is the development of a theoretical model of droplet evolution in fogs and clouds under the influence of inhomogeneous turbulent mixing undersaturated environmental air. This theoretical work has been performed in conjunction with Dr. M. B. Baker of the University of Washington, Seattle. Some complementary laboratory investigations currently being performed at UMIST will be reported at a later date. (Author)
