Johnson-Williams liquid water probe

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010577

An instrument designed to measure the liquid water content in clouds. It operates by detecting the change in electrical resistance of a heated wire as supercooled water droplets impact and evaporate on its surface. This probe is commonly mounted on research aircraft to characterize cloud microphysics.
