2DC and 2DP Raw Base Files and Housekeeping
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/22.210

Summary
This dataset contains the raw image data from the PMS 2DC and 2DP probes. Each
file contains the data for both probes. The 2D-C cloud probe has 32 25um
diodes for a sample aperture 0.8 mm wide. The 2D-P precipitation probe has 32
200um diodes, for a sample aperture of 6.4 mm.
