| Abstract: | Slotted rods were used to collect liquid water from summer stratocumulus clouds during the Dycoms program near San Diego. The rods were mounted on a pylon atop the fuselage of NCAR's Electra. Their collection efficiency (relative to King probe liquid water content measurements) averaged 84±15% after an initial conditioning period. During collection runs in which the average LWC exceeded 0.1 g/m3, the efficiency averaged 91±12%. We have identified several factors necessary to achieve this level of performance. |
