1 Microphysics Measurements During CLACE 2014 G.J. Lloyd 1, R. Farrington, P.Connolly 1 T.W. Choularton 1, M. Gallagher 1 and K. N. Bower 1 1 Centre for Atmospheric Science, SEAES, University of Manchester, M13 9PL, Manchester, U.K.

2 Priority Cases 30 Jan – 2 Feb Saharan Dust Event 8 – 9 Feb Liquid/Ice transitions 18 – 19 Feb Saharan Dust 11 – 12 Feb Inc/Dec Ice Fractions 14 Feb Further ice/liq fluctuations

3 Aims Identify periods of changing microphysics – Short term fluctuations (seconds) – Larger temporal scale changes (hours) Are these changes associated with something? – Temperature – Wind – Aerosol

4 Instrumentation 3VCPI (2DS) Measurement of cloud particles 10 < d p < 1280 µm Discrimination of lce/Liquid CDP Measurement of liquid droplets 2 < d p < 50 µm WIBS4 Aerosol Measurements
