Description
|
 View Image |
Water
vapor mixing ratio measured by the SRL during the dryline
event. Temporal resolution is 3 minutes, vertical smoothing
varied between 90 meters at 0.5 km to 330 meters above
4 km. The calibration of the data was determined with
respect to SuomiNet GPS mounted on the SRL trailer. |

clouds developing during the day but disappearing when
the BL collapses at dusk. Cirrus clouds were present
at night. |

Aerosol
depolarization. Only data from the last two hours of
the measurement period are available due to electronics
problems earlier in the day. |

Plotted
here are the water vapor mixing ratio, the liquid water
mixing ratio (uncalibrated therefore scaled for the plot),
the ratio of the liquid to water vapor mixing ratio (scaled
as well), aerosol depolarization and aerosol extinction
to backscatter ratio (divided by 10). All quantities
measured by the SRL. Notice the correspondence of the
features between the aerosol depolarization and the liquid
water. We believe that we are measuring liquid water
from hydrated aerosols before they have become cloud
particles. The liquid to vapor ratio (shown as L/W) shows
a continuous increase toward the top of the boundary
layer and then a sharp decrease above. |
