CAS – total LWC comparison warm clouds
2
Assumptions Instruments time synchronization info isn't available for this period. Some of the instruments were not synchronized during this early stage of the campaign. I assume the positive mixing ratio coincide with onset of LWC measurements in CAS.
3
Limitations Horizontal sampling line – low penetration efficiency for big droplets and drops High concentrations and screening of big droplets by small droplets or particles cause lower LWC content. Presented CAS LWC data for droplets >3

Equations (+10C) ≡Density of dry air Liquid Water Mixing Ratio +10C: Liquid water mixing ratio measured by CAS: Assumption: changing chamber pressure at saturation, flux from the walls:

conclusions Possible reasons for discrepancies in LWC measurements: -CAS limitation that were mentioned -wrong measurement of Pressure change -wrong measurement of MBW_dew -wall losses Should be compared to WELAS LWC
