Small Ice Detector Version 2 (SID-2H) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/105.001

Summary
This dataset contains SID2H data collected during the ICE-L project. The Small
Ice Detector, Version 2 (SID2H) is a particle light-scattering instrument for
measuring size distributions of particles in the 1 to 70 micrometer size range
and for discriminating between ice crystals and supercooled water droplets in
mixed phase clouds. SID2H measures the intensity of light scattered by cloud
particles in the forward direction. Measurements are recorded for each
particle that crosses the instrument's laser beam. The SID2H data files are
binary and come in 10-minute blocks; a new file is created every 10 minutes.
Data records include timing events, light scattering intensity, and
housekeeping (temperatures, laser power, etc.). The file structure has a
header, data, and a footer.
