Scientific paper

A new apparatus for the growth of clouds of ammonia and water ice has been developed which represents an improvement over the one constructed by Holmes (1981). Better thermal control of the cloud chamber has been achieved so that colder temperature relevant to the outer planets' atmospheres could be reached. The angular resolution of the scattering measurements has been improved from 10 deg to about 2 deg. A rotating filter wheel combined with a much larger computer allows a complete data set to be collected in three colors once per second. This capability is important in monitoring cloud properties as they change with time and in collecting data on larger crystals which can fall through the beam in a few seconds.
