Cloud droplet residual particle microphysics in marine stratocumulus clouds observed during the Monterey Area Ship Track experiment: Monterey Area Ship Track Experiment

The effect of marine boundary layer pollution level (as determined by the aerosol particle number concentration) on the size distribution of aerosol particles that formed cloud droplets in marine stratiform clouds is examined. In situ measurements of cloud droplet residual particles with a counterfl...

Description
Summary:The effect of marine boundary layer pollution level (as determined by the aerosol particle number concentration) on the size distribution of aerosol particles that formed cloud droplets in marine stratiform clouds is examined. In situ measurements of cloud droplet residual particles with a counterflow virtual impactor during the Monterey Area Ship Track experiment are presented.
