| Description du jeu de données | |||
| Résumé | Measurements obtained with a Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP) which measure the forward light scattering of hydrometeors. It is calibrated for measuring water droplet in the range 2 to 50 microns. | ||

| Instrument environment | The computer controlling the in situ probes on the Falcon-20 experienced a time lag which was only noticed prior to the last two flights, fs170014 and fs170015. The correlation between the vertical profiles of aerosol extinction at 532 nm from the lidar and the merged size distribution from the in situ probes was used to determine the time lag during each flight. This was done by applying a series of time lags between 0s and 160s and observing the maximum correlation. A clear trend in the time lag becoming larger from the beginning of the campaign was observed. The following table indicates the time lag that yielded the maximum coefficient of determination and the value that has been applied to the in situ data. Flight: Time lag (s) fs170006: 90 fs170007 : NA fs170008 : 90 fs170009 : 90 fs170010 : 100 fs170011: 100 fs170012: 125 fs170013: 130 fs170014: 0 fs170015: 0 | ||
