The Pi Chamber is a cloud chamber at Michigan Technological University that utilizes moist
turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard flow between two temperature-controlled, saturated plates to …

The convection–cloud chamber enables measurement of aerosol and cloud microphysics,
as well as their interactions, within a turbulent environment under steady‐state conditions …

The role played by fluctuations of supersaturation in the growth of cloud droplets is
examined in this study. The stochastic condensation framework and the three regimes of …

By assuming that liquid droplets and ice crystals within a computational grid box grow under
the same conditions, mean‐field representations of mixed‐phase clouds in numerical …

Supersaturation fluctuations in the atmosphere are critical for cloud processes. A nonlinear
dependence on two scalars—water vapor and temperature—leads to different behavior than …

Evaporation of cloud droplets accelerates when turbulence mixes dry air into the cloud,
affecting droplet-size distributions in atmospheric clouds, combustion sprays, and jets of …

Turbulent fluctuations of scalar and velocity fields are critical for cloud microphysical
processes, eg, droplet activation and size distribution evolution, and can therefore influence …

The Fast Infrared Hygrometer (FIRH), employing open-path tunable diode laser absorption
spectroscopy at the wavelengths near 1364.6896 nm line, was adapted to perform …

The subgrid-scale (SGS) scalar variance represents the “unmixedness” of the unresolved
small scales in large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows. Supersaturation variance …

How liquid water in atmospheric clouds distributes over droplets of different sizes is
important for the initiation of rainfall, and for the optical properties of the atmosphere. Droplet …
