    Abstract

    A description is given of experiments and calculations performed to investigate the effect of the entrainment of undersaturated air upon the microphysical structure of cap clouds at Great Dun Fell, Cumbria. Three case studies are presented: in I the properties of the cloud were essentially adiabatic; II provided evidence for mixing intermediate between the homogeneous and extreme inhomogeneous types; in III the mixing was extremely inhomogeneous. -from Authors
