About cloud density

What's the source for 1,003 kg/m^3 as the density?

According to this the density is actually 1-2 g/m^3
 
I mean, if we wanted to be super technical, we can specify altitude for each cloud density for low, mid and high ends + make a chart with varying densities.

But iirc, cloud density came from a calc Darkanine made, it was an average.

Dont quote me on that tho. I know OBD accepted a different value for this guy, but even that density was a lowball.
 
The OBD also uses 1.003 kg/m^3. They have used that value twice while calc'ing a couple of cloud related feats in the HST.

I would like to know the exact source though.
 
1.003 kg/m^3 is the density of the atmosphere at cloud height, where the density of the atmosphere decreases as you go further up into the atmosphere.

It is also the reason why the density of the atmosphere is 1.225kg/m^3 at ground level, but negligible once you reach the stratosphere.

0.5 grams, or the density that Kaltias posted is the density of actual clouds, which is mostly an aerosol composed of condensed water from the water vapor in the atmosphere at that height.

EDIT: I failed to noticed that this was moved to ther calc section. Sorry.
 
According to a few sources I found while trying to learn how to calc IKE a few days ago, the density of air is 1kg m-3

The part of clouds that's water vapor is 3g/m3 at best, the rest of the weight comes from the air density at such altitudes.
 
Has somebody added the value to one of our calculation instructions pages?
 
Okay. Thank you. Should we close this thread then?
