Abstract

Aircraft observations were made of the liquid water content and droplet spectra in the orographic cloud of the windward (eastern) side of the Island of Hawaii and in trade wind cumuli offshore. The orographic cloud showed a number of remarkable features, some of which can be related to its mode of formation and to its general behaviour.
