Abstract
An automated cloud water collection system for unattended operation at remote sites is described. This system consists of a cloud water coll ector, sample accumulator, sample storage unit, and electronic control unit. Threshold values for liquid water content, wind speed, and temp erature were set with the electronic control unit to initiate automati c Collection of cloud water samples. The automated system was tested i n the summer of 1994 at two remote sites: Whitetop Mountain, VA, and W hiteface Mountain, NY. During this period, it successfully collected 4 49 hourly cloud water samples. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
