- Abstract
The article examines the probing finescale dynamics and microphysics of clouds with helicopter-based measurements. The section aims to provide an opportunity for probing the finescale dynamics and microphysics of clouds simultaneously in space and time. It states that to do circumvent the influence of the helicopter downwash the autonomous measurement payload Airborne Cloud Turbulence Observation System (ACTOS) is carried as an external cargo 140m below the helicopter. It reports that ACTOS allows for collocated measurements of the dynamical and cloud microphysical parameters with a spatial resolution of better than 10cm.
