摘要

In February 2001 the Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) collected cloud and snow measurements, and background meteorological fields in the Inhibition of Snowfall by Pollution Aerosol 2001 (ISPA-2001) experiment. The data from ISPA-2001 and a planned experiment next year (ISPA-2002) will be used to investigate a relationship between snowfall rate and aerosol-induced changes in the cloud droplet size distribution (Borys et al. 2000). ISPA-2001 took place at the DRI Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL) atop Mt. Werner (3210 m MSL) in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, with the NCAR measurements below the peak at approximately 2100 m MSL and 6.5 km in the predominantly upwind direction. SPL collected in situ measurements of cloud droplet size distribution, precipitation rate, and ice water content. Also, video images were recorded to identify ice crystal sizes, habits, and rimed mass fractions, and cloud water was collected for later chemical and isotopic characterization. NCAR operated an Integrated Sounding System (ISS) about 1100 m below the Storm Peak Laboratory. The ISS included the MAPR spaced antenna wind profiler, GPS rawinsondes, and surface measurements including two snow gauges. MAPR provided background wind profiles to identify possible source directions for the aerosols. It also recorded full Doppler spectra of precipitation fall speed, and the power, mean fallspeed, and width of these spectra. The MAPR data will be used to identify riming heights, and to investigate remote sensing of snow crystal size distributions. The presence of in situ data from SPL for comparison is a rare opportunity to test profiler measurements of size distributions. In this paper, we present an initial comparison of two snowfall events which have contrasting snow growth processes. February 15 is a case where clouds were shallow, and growth was primarily by diffusion. On February 19, clouds were deeper, and it appears that crystals from a higher clouds seeded lower orographic clouds containing supercooled liquid water (SLW). The crystals falling from the upper cloud would grow by riming as they fall through the SLW, adding to the measured snowfall rate at the surface.
