CIRPAS Twin Otter 1-hz CAS Drop Size Spectra - netCDF format
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/111.042

Summary
This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the CIRPAS Twin
Otter aircraft during the "Physics of Stratocumulus Tops" (POST) project off
the west coast of Monterey, CA. This data set contains 1 hertz (1 sps) size
distributions of aerosol and cloud particles measured by the forward (F)-
scatter (CAS) section of the CAPS probe. The files are the final data in
netCDF format.
