Water Ice and Liquid Water Droplet Aerosol Characterization with Digital Holography — NSF Award to Kansas State University (KS, $5
Clouds can consist of liquid water drops, ice particles, or very often a mixture of both. The proportion of water as ice versus water as liquid has a significant impact on how clouds form precipitation and modulate solar radiation. There have been many airborne field campaigns that have sampled cloud particles, but the

| Abstract | Clouds can consist of liquid water drops, ice particles, or very often a mixture of both. The proportion of water as ice versus water as liquid has a significant impact on how clouds form precipitation and modulate solar radiation. There have been many airborne field campaigns that have sampled cloud particles, but the instrumentation has not been sensitive enough to determine the difference between ice and liquid drops when the ice particle is in a sphere-like shape during the early stages of i |
