Characterization of cloud properties remains a challenging task for weatherforecasting and climate modelling as cloud properties depend on interdependentnatural processes at micro and macro scales. Turbulence plays an important rolein particle dynamics inside clouds; however, turbulence mechanisms are not yetfully understood partly due to the difficulty of measuring clouds at thesmallest scales. To address these knowledge gaps, an experimental method formeasuring the influence of fine-scale turbulence in cloud formation in-situ andproducing an in-field cloud Lagrangian dataset is being developed by means ofinnovative ultra-light radioprobes. This paper presents the electronic systemdesign along with the obtained results from laboratory and field experimentsregarding these compact (diameter about 30 cm), light-weight (about 20 g), andexpendable devices designed to passively float and track small-scale turbulencefluctuations inside warm clouds. The fully customized mini radioprobe board (5cm x 5 cm) embeds sensors to measure local fluctuations and transmit data tothe ground in near real-time. The tests confirm that the newly developed probesperform well providing accurate information about atmospheric variables,referenced in space. The integration of multiple radioprobes allows for asystematic and accurate monitoring of atmospheric turbulence and its impact oncloud formation.
