Abstract

An airborne instrument able to collect selectively and replicate large drops (diameter greater than 60 μm) is described. The large drops reach the collector by their inertia, while the small ones moving along with the air are not collected even though their number concentration may be more than 1000 times larger than the large drops. This instrument, which can be mounted on a light aircraft, can be used either to determine the concentration of the drift drops in cooling tower plumes or precipitation elements in clouds. Data are included from flights through cooling tower plumes.
