Time in cloud |
GMT time when the aircraft began a cloud
penetration. |
Dur |
duration, in seconds, of the cloud penetration |
GPS Alt |
average geometric altitude, above mean sea
level, during the penetration period as computed by the GPS. |
GPS grd.trk |
GPS ground track angle. |
T |
average temperature in Celsius, during the
penetration, as determined from the Rosemount aircraft temperature sensor. |
Max LWC |
maximum 1-s value of total cloud liquid water
concentration, in gm-3 |
Max Down, Max Up |
calculated peak negative and positive vertical winds,
in m/s. |
Max Sh/Or |
maximum precipitation particle count rate,
observed during penetration by the PMS 2DC probe. |
Hail Mx C and
Hail Mx D |
peak concentration (m-3) of particles with
diameters larger than ~5mm and maximum-size particle (mm) detected by the
hail spectrometer during the penetration. |
Min Ez and Max Ez |
in Kv/m are the minimum and maximum vertical
electric fields calculated with respect to Earth coordinates |
