The Graduate Center for Cloud Physics Research at UMR Has Developed a Cloud Simulation Facility to Study Phenomena Occurring in Terrestrial Clouds and Fogs. the Facility Consists of a Pair of Precision Cooled-Wall Expansion Chambers Along with Extensive Supporting Equipment. the Smaller of These Chambers, Described in This Article, is Fully Operational, and is Capable of Simulating a Broad Range of In-Cloud Thermodynamic Conditions. It is Currently Being Used to Study Water Drop Growth and Evaporation for Drops Nucleated (Activated) on Well-Characterized Aerosol Particles. Measurements Have Been Made Not Only for Continuous Expansions (Simulated Updraft) But Also for Cyclic Conditions, …

The UMR Cloud Simulation Facility is described. The facility is designed to provide a controlled environment simulating the conditions of natural atmospheric processes. It consists of two cooled-wall expansion cloud chambers and peripheral instrumentation for generation and characterization of aerosols used for cloud formation studies. Results of initial studies of the growth of warm cloud droplets and inferred measurements of the condensation coefficient are described.
