PMS-2D Two-dimensional Cloud Probe data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/490.004

Summary
This dataset contains raw (binary 'filmstrip' imagery) files of PMS-2D data
collected by the NSF/NCAR HIAPER GV during the ORCAS (The O2/N2 Ratio and CO2
Airborne Southern Ocean Study) project. These data are in a format compatible
with xpms2d, available from the EOL xpms2d download page. NOTE: During the
ORCAS project, there was a problem with the timeserver which caused the data
from RF12 to have an erroneous date of 1970-01-01. The flight actually
occurred on Feb 15, 2016. The dates/times in the file are incorrect, but the
probe did collect particle images, so the data for this flight has been left
in the dataset.
