The Influence of Cloud Nucleus Population on the Microstructure and Stability of Convective Clouds
By: S. Twomey and P. Squires
Abstract
Measurements of the concentration of cloud droplets and of the supersaturation spectrum of the cloud nucleus population in the air below cloud base showed a strong correlation between these properties. It is concluded that variations in the cloud nucleus content of the air are primarily responsible for variations of cloud droplet concentrations and colloidal stability.
