Liquid-Water Content and Droplet Size in Clouds of the Atmosphere

G. W. Brock

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Abstract In studying aircraft-icing conditions, the A.A.F. Weather Service conducts flight tests, which are reported, (a) to determine values of liquid-water content and droplet size to be found in clouds through which flight is conducted, (b) to study physical structure of clouds, and (c) to devise methods of improving forecasts of icing conditions.
