Measurement of Free Water in Cloud Under Conditions of Icing

J. K. Hardy

Abstract

Measurements have been made, in flight, of the concentration of free water present in clouds under conditions of icing. These show the beneficial effect of kinetic heating in reducing the severity of those conditions, and permit the functioning of the thermal system for protecting airplanes against ice to be analyzed. The concentration of free water is deduced from measurements of the humidity of the air after the water had been vaporized (p. 1).
