Description
Summary:Comparisons are made between liquid water concentration (LWC) readings obtained from a Johnson-Williams (J-W) cloud water meter and a King (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) liquid water probe, both mounted on the armored T-28 research aircraft during penetrations of springtime convective storms in Oklahoma and Colorado. The king probe readings are almost always higher, being up to twice those of the J-W instrument in clouds with narrower cloud droplet spectra.
