  2. Temperature and humidity profiles (inside and outside cloud) Cloud microphysicsAerosol properties (esp CCN)DynamicsThermodynamics Instruments:Doppler cloud radar (35 or 95 GHz, with spectra)Raman lidar (water vapor and aerosol)Doppler lidarMicrowave radiometer“Rain” radar (X, K, or S, etc., with spectra) -- verticalWind profilerFrequent radiosondes In situ aerosol microphysicsIn situ cloud microphysics LWC (z) and LWP Droplet size spectrum (z) Macrophysical properties (base & top height, fraction) Aerosol properties (CCN, number concentration, size distribution, chemical composition, etc) Vertical velocity

  3. ACM WG Focus will be on 2 Supersites • S1 has all of the required measurements • S2 is close: • Request that a microwave radiometer (perhaps from UK or from Potenza) be located there • Needs a cloud radar; perhaps the UHH radar currently listed at the S3 site? • Request that one of the UK Doppler lidars be placed at S2, the other on the Hornisgrinde • Possibility of in-situ aerosol observations (esp CCN spectra) on the Hornisgride? • Chemical composition measurements from UK considered important • BAE-146 in-situ observations will be critical • Flight pattern includes legs in the aerosol layer below cloud and multiple penetrations at different altitudes in the cloud • Would like to have one ACM representative in the operations center for daily planning
