MEASUREMENT OF DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT IN NATURAL CLOUDS.

Abstract:

Clouds drops striking a charged metal target are shown to produce an electric pulse whose shape indicates that the electrical contact process is a succession of events probably but not certainly including corona, arcing, and conduction. Nevertheless, the pulse amplitude is closely proportional to the droplet surface area. Author
