The average ice concentration from the 1-kIn <br />region with the maximum liquid water content was plotted for each <br />pass, and only passes between the -5 and -150C levels were included. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2.9: (4:drafts. In CuCg clouds, the measured updrafts _!leregenerally <br /> <br />modest and appeared more consistent with turbulence features than with <br /> <br />_oEga.I1ized upward motions. <br /> <br />Fig. 2.19 shows the frequency wi th which <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />various magnitudes of the vertical wind were measured. Each value in <br /> <br />this histogram represented a 1-kIn average measuranent in one of the <br /> <br />clouds from the 1978 field season. The distribution is surprisingly <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />symmetrical: the mean is only about 1 m(s and the standard deviation is <br /> <br />about 4 reVs. This figure supports the suggestion above that the vertical <br /> <br />wind is dominated by motions of a turbulent nature and is rather <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />disorganized in most of the clouds. The l-kIn average vertical wind <br /> <br />exceeded 10 m/s in only 2.6% of the cases, so strong updrafts were <br /> <br /> <br />rare at the (-5 to -150C) level of these penetrations. The distribution <br /> <br />in Fig. 2.19 is very similar to the distribution determined from the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />28 <br /> <br />. <br />
