Stormfury 1965; Cumulus; Trade windsAbstract
The data reduction procedures used on the observations obtained from
the ESSA Research Flight Facility aircraft during the Stormfury 1965
operation is described. The results to be obtained eventually are cloud
liquid water content, volume median drop size, turbulent vertical
velocity, and buoyancy fluctuations in cloud passes made by the aircraft.
