Aerosol indirect effect from turbulence-induced broadening of cloud-droplet size distributions
Kamal Kant Chandrakar,Will Cantrell,Kelken Chang,David Ciochetto,Dennis Niedermeier,Dennis Niedermeier,Mikhail Ovchinnikov,Raymond A. Shaw,Fan Yang +8 more
TL;DR: The result underscores the importance of droplet size dispersion for aerosol indirect effects: increasing aerosol concentration changes the albedo and suppresses precipitation formation not only through reduction of the mean droplet diameter but also by narrowing of the droplets size distribution due to reduced supersaturation fluctuations.

A Laboratory Facility to Study Gas–Aerosol–Cloud Interactions in a Turbulent Environment: The Π Chamber
Kelken Chang,J. Bench,Matthew Brege,Will Cantrell,Kamal Kant Chandrakar,David Ciochetto,Claudio Mazzoleni,Lynn Mazzoleni,Dennis Niedermeier,Raymond A. Shaw +9 more
TL;DR: The Π chamber as discussed by the authors is a multiphase, turbulent reaction chamber with 3.14 m3 internal volume with the cylindrical insert installed, capable of pressures ranging from 1,000 to -60 hPa and can sustain temperatures of -55° to 55°C.
Aerosol removal and cloud collapse accelerated by supersaturation fluctuations in turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that turbulent fluctuations of supersaturation accelerate the cloud cleansing process and eventual cloud collapse and that the accelerated cleansing occurs when the cloud phase relaxation time exceeds the turbulence correlation time.

Eric M. Hines,Christopher D. P. Baxter,David Ciochetto,Mingming Song,Per Sparrevik,Henrik J. Meland,J.M. Strout,Aaron S. Bradshaw,Sau-Lon Hu,J. R. Basurto,Babak Moaveni +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the design and installation of a continuous monitoring system for one of the offshore wind turbines in the Block Island Wind Farm, which is located 6.1 km off the coast of Block Island in Rhode Island, USA.
