- The U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is expanding the measurement capabilities at its ARM Climate Research Facilities (ACRF) Aerial Facility. This involves the addition of cloud probes used to make in-situ measurements of cloud microphysical properties. These probes will be mounted on pylons or the fuselage of research aircraft. Battelle, Pacific Northwest Division, Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is requesting information from prospective offers to provide a variety of cloud probes in accordance with the following: • Measure total cloud water content and/or total cloud liquid water content • Measure size distributions of cloud particles within a range of diameters from 1 m up to 50 mm. A single probe does not have to measure the entire size range • Measure crystal habits, and other hydrometeor properties, by particle imaging techniques • Capable of being mounted on wing pylons or in a particle measuring systems (PMS) style instrument canister • Altitude range: 0 to 15 km • Airspeed: up to 200 m/s • Response times of 1Hz or faster • Installation completion by 9/30/2010 - project timelines are critical and will be monitored.
