9320672 McIntosh The objective of this research is the deployment of an airborne doppler polarimetric 95 GHz (3.2 mm) radar on the University of Wyoming King Air for the purpose of depicting the microphysical structure and evolution of water substance in clouds. During the first year, the radar will participate in the WISP experiment (Central Colorado) which is designed to explore the distribution and evolution of ice and supercooled water in stationary (wave) clouds. Additional field experiments will be identified during the second and third years. The new measurements should provide new techniques to discriminate between water and ice, measure the vertical motion of ice crystals in cirrus clouds and perhaps a means of estimating crystal habitat. ***

小行星9320672 本研究的目的是部署在怀俄明州King Air大学的机载多普勒偏振95 GHz（3.2 mm）雷达，用于描绘云中水物质的微物理结构和演变。 在第一年，该雷达将参加WISP实验（中科罗拉多），该实验旨在探索静止（波）云中冰和过冷水的分布和演变。 第二年和第三年将确定更多的实地实验。 新的测量应该提供新的技术来区分水和冰，测量卷云中冰晶的垂直运动，也许是估计晶体栖息地的一种手段。 ***
