介绍了第二次海洋层积云动力学和化学(DYCOMS-II)野外研究。实地项目包括在加州圣地亚哥西南偏西的海洋层积云中进行的9次飞行。该计划的目的是更好地了解海洋层积云的物理和动力学。为此,采用了特殊的飞行策略,主要包括夜间飞行,以优化云顶夹带速度的估计,边界层内的大尺度发散,云中的毛毛雨过程,云的微观结构,和气溶胶-云的相互作用。DYCOMS-II期间的云条件非常好,几乎每次飞行都有均匀的多云云覆盖在混合良好的边界层上。虽然手稿的重点是DYCOMS-II的目标和方法,但也提出了一些初步的发现-最重要的是云层似乎比以前的理论工作更少夹带和毛毛雨。
The second Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS-II) field study is described. The field program consisted of nine flights in marine stratocumulus west-southwest of San Diego, California. The objective of the program was to better understand the physics a n d dynamics of marine stratocumulus. Toward this end special flight strategies, including predominantly nocturnal flights, were employed to optimize estimates of entrainment velocities at cloud-top, large-scale divergence within the boundary layer, drizzle processes in the cloud, cloud microstructure, and aerosol–cloud interactions. Cloud conditions during DYCOMS-II were excellent with almost every flight having uniformly overcast clouds topping a well-mixed boundary layer. Although the emphasis of the manuscript is on the goals and methodologies of DYCOMS-II, some preliminary findings are also presented—the most significant being that the cloud layers appear to entrain less and drizzle more than previous theoretical work led investigat...
