  1. JD227 (Aug. 15) Summary

  2. Wednesday’s discussions, 15 August 2001, DOY 227 Conditions:Overcast with until ca 227.3 with precipitating cloud to about 300m (lowest cloud level 20-30m). The cloud then decreased in height, broke up and gradually a fog formed starting at about 07:50 (JD227.326). Freezing of leads started 09:35h and continued for certain to 11.42h maybe longer. The fog cleared gradually between 13:30h (JD227.562) to 15:00h (JD227.625). Flight #29 (JD 227.51), Nucleation apparently occurred in the layer where the cloud had been and a layer of particles >300nm was immediately above it. The descent showed the nucleation mode particles at a lower level than on the ascent. MT please fill in the met story in between flight #29 and flight #31. At 22h20m there was cloud on top of the inversion and specific humidity increased with height. The >300nm particle maxima lay below the inversion. Slow ascent (Flight #31) aiming for a hole in the lowest cloud deck at 100 m. Above lowest cloud deck at 23:22:08 (JD 227.974). At 23h00 the surface layer was well-mixed, so why were the >300nm particles so highly stratified?
