CIRPAS Twin Otter 10-hz CAS Drop Size Spectra
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/111.038

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 10 hertz (10 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
columnar ASCII format. [NOTE: data for flight 12 is currently missing pending
receipt from the data source.]
