NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER Fast 2DC Particle Size Distribution (PSD) Product Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.046

Summary
This data set contains the cloud particle size distributions (PSDs) and bulk
properties data from the Fast2DC probe that was flown on-board the NSF/NCAR
HIAPER GV aircraft during the 15 flights for the SOCRATES (Southern Ocean
Clouds, Radiation, Aerosol Transport Experimental Study) project over the
Southern Ocean region from 15 January to 24 February 2018 (except for RF02).
The bulk properties include total number concentration, liquid water content,
and ice water content. The data are in NetCDF4 format.

Versions
  0.1
  1.0: This version contains the final quality controlled data.
  1.1: This version fixed an issue for F2DC on RF07. The Nt and Nice variables
in all flights in V1.0 was output incorrectly, and fixed in this
version.
