Abstract:A new instrument, the High Speed Particle Phase Discriminator (PPD-HS) developed at the University of Hertfordshire, for sizing individual cloud hydrometeors and determining their phase is described herein. PPD-HS performs an in-situ analysis of the spatial intensity distribution of near forward scattered light for individual hydrometeors yielding shape properties. Discrimination of spherical and aspherical particles is based on an analysis of the symmetry of the recorded scattering patterns. Scattering patter… Show more
