NASA DC-8 Polarized Imaging Nephelometer for Aerosol Phase Function and
Scattering Coefficient Measurement Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.205

Summary
This data set contains NASA DC-8 Polarized Imaging Nephelometer for Aerosol
Phase Function and Scattering Coefficient Measurement data collected during
the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3) from 18 May 2012
through 22 June 2012. This data set includes three different file types
corresponding to polarized imaging nephelometer aerosol phase function P11
measurements, polarized imaging nephelometer aerosol phase function (-P12/P11)
measurements, and aerosol volume scattering coefficient measurements. This
data set is in ICARTT format. Please see the header portion of the data files
for details on instruments, parameters, quality assurance, quality control,
contact information, and data set comments.
