The NCAR Vertical Wind Tunnel: a Vertical Wind Tunnel for Controlling the Motion and Environment of Atmospheric Particles

This report describes a Vertical Wind Tunnel installed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) for cloud physics research. The main purpose of this installation is to offset the vertical fall speed of cloud and precipitation particles with a low-turbulence, variable-speed, upward-moving column of air in which the temperature, moisture, and electrical environment can be controlled in a selected observable region of laboratory space. The Vertical Wind Tunnel can be used for study and calibration of cloud physics instruments.
