Direct Evidence of Reduction of Cloud Water after Spreading Diatomite Particles in Stratus Clouds in Beijing, China

Figure 4

Measured vertical distribution of microphysical property of the cloud before the spreading. The result suggests that the cloud layer is centered at 3.4 km, and thickness of cloud layer is about 200–300 meters. The cloud water content is about 0.04 g/cm³ and the number of cloud particles ranges from 120 to 160 #/cm³ with mean effective diameter of 8.5–9.5 𝜇m.
