Collection and Measurement Efficiencies of the EWER Cloud Water Meter for Hydrometeors.

Abstract

Calculated collection and measurement efficiencies for an airborne EWER cloud water content meter are presented for water drops and five types of ice crystals for three flight altitudes and for wide ranges of particle sizes. Particle type and size effects are found for very small particles, but the results are essentially constant for particles heavier than about 0.5 micrograms. (Author)
