High Altitude Cloud Physics Laboratory (HACPL)

Objectives

  • To understand the micro physical and dynamical processes involved in aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions using in-situ and remote sensing measurements over a high-altitude site.
  • To understand the role of aerosol size, chemical constituents and hygroscopicity in cloud activation processes
  • To develop parameterization schemes for CCN, Ice Nuceli, warm rain processes to implement in CFS/ESM models
