Abstract

Microphysical conditions within a post-frontal cloud system during IMPROVE II were described based on aircraft, radar, and sounding data. The analysis showed that embedded convection was the main mechanism producing significant vertical motion, cloud water, ice and drizzle. It was found that the higher condensate supply rate was able to maintain cloud water contents sufficiently high and for long enough periods form drizzle in maritime environment. Freezing drizzle was observed near cloud top in regions of low concentrations of ice crystals, but also near the top of the main ridge where strong vertical motions were present and large snow aggregates.
