ACE1 data from the Lagrangian B C-130 flights have
been put together into a single composite file.
The separate flights, which were originally in separate files,
are clearly demarked in the composite file by a Start and End 
message, along with the original file names.  The separate 
files were named micro_f25.dat, micro_f26_1.dat, and micro_f26_2.dat.  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
===================
These files contain an analysis of the cloud microphysics observations
made aboard the C-130 for the Lagrangian experiments.  Observations 
are made from the FSSP and 260X probe; no additional corrections have 
been applied other than a cut-off for noise. 

Observations from both on-station soundings and horizontal legs are 
combined to produce observational profiles versus altitude.  

The first series of graphs show the combined droplet spectra at different
pressure levels and the resulting cloud fraction.  The composite cloud
fraction is presented on one graph for both the FSSP and the 260X as well
as the number of samples used for each pressure level.  From this graph, 
one can see where the altitudes the horizontal legs have been flown.  

For radiation calculations, the droplet concentration, liquid water 
content, effective radius and volume extinction scale are presented 
for all samples, and in-cloud only samples.  

The drizzle flux is calculated from the 260X observations. 

Lastly, for reference we present the terminal velocity and profiles
of the potential temperature, equivalent potential temperature, 
total water content and liquid water content.

These calculations have been made by Paul Krummel, CSIRO Division
of Atmospheric Research (email: paul.krummel@dar.csiro.au).  Please

LAGRANGIAN A (flights 18, 19 and 20)
============

These calculations will be made in the near future. 

LAGRANGIAN B (flights 24, 25 and 26)
============ 

FLIGHT 24: There were no clouds, as such, there were no meaningful
observations of microphysics.  No files are presented.  

FLIGHT 25 
   (20:00-00:00 local time = 09 - 13 UTC) 
   The first stack on this flight has negligible cloud microphysics.

   (00:00-02:21 local time = 13 - 15:21 UTC) 
   Observations show relatively weak cloud microphysics.  
   Possible cloud layer at around 500 hPa is seen on ferry home north
   of where the stacks were flown.

FLIGHT 26
Observations again show relatively weak cloud microphysics.  As there 
was considerable advection during this flight, we have broken up the 
observations in time between the two sets of stacks.  The cloud
structure is quite complex and the microphysical properties changed 
noticeably between the stacks.  

   Flight 26_1 (08:00-11:00 local time = 21 - 24 UTC)
   
   This time period largely covered the first set of stacks for the 
   C-130.  The highest layer observed was during the descent from the 
   ferry leg to the lidar leg and was around 520 - 600 hPa.  This 
   is NOT contained in the averaged data.  There were at least two 
   more layers below this and these are seen in the averages. 

   Flight 26_2 (11:00-13:00 local time = 24 - 26 UTC)

   For the second stack there were 2 to 3 layers below 700 hPa.
   
On the climb out from the lidar leg to ferry altitude a thick layer 
of cloud was observed between 690 - 580 hPa.  These upper level 
measurements are not included in the averages.  Once at the ferry 
altitude ~500 hPa, both the PMS-260X and PMS-2DC probes were 
recording quite high amounts of drizzle/ice, the FSSP was also 
recording some larger droplets.
