Facility improvements <br /> <br /> <br />were also made possible with the past support of the U.S. Air Force and <br /> <br /> <br />the Alberta Research Council of Canada. This manuscript culminates <br /> <br />several years of research, so there are numerous individuals to thank. <br /> <br />First, to Professor Lewis O. Grant for his guidance and for giving me <br /> <br />the responsibility and opportunity to freely pursue my ideas. To Dr. <br /> <br />William G. Finnegan for his early guidance, for stimulating the <br /> <br />interest that I will always have in nucleation, and for the lasting <br /> <br /> <br />inspiration of his acute curiosity and unbound ideas. Very special <br /> <br />thanks go to Dr. David C. Rogers for his ready conversations and <br /> <br />assistance in data reduction. The scheme for deconvo1uting ice crystal <br /> <br />measurements was entirely the result of his resourcefulness. Also, very <br /> <br /> <br />special thanks to Mr. Brian Jesse for his invaluable technical <br /> <br /> <br />assistance at the Cloud Simulation and Aerosol Laboratory. Thanks also <br /> <br /> <br />to Dr. William Cotton and Dr. Branka Ladanyi for their careful <br /> <br />readings of the manuscript and suggestions made. Thanks are due to Mr. <br /> <br />Randy Horn for design of many of the instrumentation and data <br /> <br />acquisition systems, and numerous discussions regarding these after his <br /> <br />departure from CSU; Dr. Jeffrey Stith of the University of North <br /> <br />v <br />
