Abstract:
            
            The Fast Cloud Droplet Probe is manufactured SPEC, Inc. (http://www.specinc.com) measures particle size and concentration. FCDP sizes particles by measuring the amount of light scattered into the collecting optics aperture during particle interaction through a focused laser beam. The instrument can size particles from 1-50 μm with a resolution of about 3 μm. The system resolves particles into twenty equally spaced bins. It is capable of sizing particles having velocities from 10-200 m/s
            
          
Purpose:
            
            Data were collected in order to help understand the cloud droplet size distribution.
