Abstract
Simultaneous measurements have been made of the microphysical properties of cap clouds over Great Dun Fell, in Cumbria, at two vertically displaced sites along the line of the wind. Dynamical, optical (10.6 micrometre) and acoustic sounder measurements were also made. Influences upon the cloud properties of humidity fluctuations near to cloud base, turbulent deposition of droplets to ground, additional activation caused by orographically induced accelerations within the clouds entrainment of environmental air and long-wave radiation to space were identified and examined. -from Authors
