Drop size-dependent chemical composition in clouds and fogs. Part I. Observations

The first observations of size-dependent cloud and fog drop inorganic ion and trace metal concentrations obtained using the Colorado State University 5-Stage cloud water collector (CSU 5-Stage) during field studies of orographic clouds (Whiteface Mountain, NY, July 1998) and radiation fogs (Davis, C...

Description
Summary:The first observations of size-dependent cloud and fog drop inorganic ion and trace metal concentrations obtained using the Colorado State University 5-Stage cloud water collector (CSU 5-Stage) during field studies of orographic clouds (Whiteface Mountain, NY, July 1998) and radiation fogs (Davis, CA, January 1999) are reported. Although some mixing between drop sizes occurs, the CSU 5-Stage effectively separates the largest drops (>≈30 μm in diameter) from the smallest ones (
