Abstract: 
            
            Aerosol size distribution measured by Fast Integrated Mobility Spectrometer during GoAmazon
Purpose: 
            
            Data collected during GoAmazon aerial campaign
Data Usage: 
            
            FIMS_ fxx_r01_2014mmdd.dat (FIMS data file)
Column 1: UTC in hours (for example, 14.5 is 14:30:00)
Column 2: Sampling pressure, unit: atm
