Measurement of the Condensation Coefficient of Water in the UMR Cloud Simulation Chamber
Proceedings of the 1987 Scientific Conference on Obscuration and Aerosol Research (1987, Aberdeen MD)
Abstract
Measurements of the condensation coefficient of water under conditions closely approximating those in natural atmospheric cloud have been made in the cooled-wall UMR cloud simulation chamber. Current measurements disclose a value of condensation coefficient near unity at the outset of the experiment, generally decreasing to lower values (~ .01) as the experiment progresses. The significance of the magnitude of condensation coefficient in atmospheric cloud is briefly discussed.
