NSF/NCAR GV (HIAPER) 3V-CPI Raw 2D-S Imagery (RAF OAP .2d format)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.224

Summary
The Three-View Cloud Particle Imager (3V-CPI) is a combination of three
imaging instruments. Two of them comprise a 2D-S instrument, in which two 2D
probes image particles as they pass through beams that are oriented
orthogonally to each other and the airflow. If particles also lie in the
intersection of the sensitive areas of the two beams, they are seen by both 2D
probes. In that case, the CPI is triggered to take a high-resolution picture,
via a briefly illuminated high-resolution imaging array, to provide a third
image at high resolution. The probe is particularly suited to imaging ice
crystals, but also provide good detection of other hydrometeors including
large cloud droplets, drizzle and small rain drops, and precipitation
particles. The 3V-CPI measures the size, shape and concentration of water
drops and ice particles in clouds in the size range of 15-250 micrometers.
This dataset contains 2D-S imagery collected by the 3V-CPI aboard the NCAR GV
during the DC3 project. These data have been converted to a format compatible
with xpms2d, available from the EOL xpms2d download page.
