RAL Raw 2DS https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/529.007 Summary The 2DS captures two-dimensional images of particles passing through the sample volume where laser beams overlap. Two 128-photodiode linear arrays work independently as high-speed and high-resolution optical imaging probes. The region where the beams overlap uniquely defines the depth-of-field (and thus the sample volume) for small particles. The 2DS measures particles from 10 to 1280 microns at a 10 micron resolution. Note: For RF05, the date was incorrectly set to November 4, 2016 when the data were recorded. The filename has been changed to reflect the correct date as August 12, 2016, but the dates inside the file remain incorrect.
