• Objective Statistic description of cloud
  properties over Barrow and the aerosol
  properties that determine it
• Dates April 1 July 31, 2008, Barrow. 3
  flights weekly during cloudy conditions
• Platform Canadian Convair 580, measuring

  total/liquid/ice water contents and
  distributions
• Aerosol Condensation, cloud condensation, and
  ice nuclei concentrations aerosol mass and
  volume distributions
• Remote Sensing W, Ka, X band radars, dual-beam
