Abstract:

About 7000 nautical miles (nmi) of airborne measurements in a variety of supercooled cloud types and weather conditions up to 10,000 feet (3 kilometers) above ground level (AGL) have been computerized to form a new Data Base of cloud variables applicable to low altitude aircraft icing studies. Half of the data is from the aircraft icing research flights conducted by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1946-50. The other half is from recent wintertime research flights by the Naval Research Laboratory and other organizations, mostly over the conterminous United States (CONUS) and nearby offshore areas. The Data Base includes liquid water content (LWC), cloud droplet median volume diameter (MVD), true outside air temperature (OAT), horizontal extent and altitude of uniform cloud intervals as well as information on cloud type, weather conditions, date and geographic location, and other data.
