A Miniature Airborne Particle Classifier (APC)
(2011-09-04)
The single greatest source of uncertainty in the estimates of climate sensitivity to either natural or man-made changes continues to be clouds (IPCC 2001, 2007). Much of this uncertainty arises from the lack of information ...
Particle habit imaging using incoherent light : a first step toward a novel instrument for cloud microphysics
(2011-04)
The imaging unit of the novel cloud particle instrument Particle Habit Imaging and Polar Scattering (PHIPS) probe has been developed to image individual ice particles produced inside a large cloud chamber. The PHIPS produces ...
Exploring the surface roughness of small ice crystals by measuring high resolution angular scattering patterns.
(2011)
Surface roughness of atmospheric ice particles is an important yet poorly investigated microphysical property in the context of the climate impact of cirrus and mixed-phase clouds. Measurements of single particle two-dimensional ...
Retrieving the size of particles with rough surfaces from 2D scattering patterns
(2011)
Scattered intensity measurement is a commonly used method for determining the size of small particles. However, it requires calibration and is subject to errors due to changes in incident irradiance or detector sensitivity. ...
