Popis: | During February and March 1990, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Wave Propagation Laboratory, and NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory conducted the Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP). Arrays of microwave radiometers, infrared radiometers, lidar ceilometers, radio acoustic sounding systems, and wind profilers were used to determine spatial and temporal distribution of supercooled liquid water. Results are presented from three representative cases to demonstrate that the integrated system that comprises a microwave water substance radiometer, a radio acoustic sounding system, and a ceilometer can identify supercooled liquid water, and that the integrated system that comprises the high resolution wind profiler and the radio acoustic sounding system can identify the distribution of turbulent air pockets within the aircraft icing cloud. |
