Continuing Evaluation of Incloud Temperature Measurements Using New Airborne Instrumentation

本研究的目的是测试和评估设计用于测量水云温度的两个机载温度计（辐射计和热敏电阻）。热敏电阻安装在一个空气动力学外壳内，旨在使水滴偏离传感器。最后的设计，特别是对于含有大量液态水的云，将使用风洞试验的结果和对传感器附近气流的理论计算。所有设备都将在NCAR的King Air研究飞机上进行现场测试。

The object of this research is the testing and evaluation of two airborne thermometers (a radiometer and a thermistor) designed to measure temperature in water clouds. The thermistor is mounted within an aerodynamic housing designed to deflect water drops away from the sensor. The final design, especially for clouds containing large quantities of liquid water, will use results from wind tunnel tests and theoretical computations of the airflow in the vicinity of the sensor. All devices will be tested in the field using NCAR's King Air research aircraft.
