Particle Size Distribution (PSD) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/567.005

Summary
This data set consists of data collected from two instruments on the NASA DC-8
aircraft from the High Ice Water Content (HIWC) Radar study that took place in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Palmdale, California; and Kona, Hawaii. These data
are from the DMT Precipitation Imaging Probe (PIP), and the SPEC
Two-Dimensional Stereo probe (2D-S). Both instruments are two-dimensional
optical array probes which record images of particles that travel through
their sampling area. The recorded images are then analyzed to produce particle
size distributions from 50 microns to 3 centimeters in diameter. The data
files consist of data in txt files, and images in png format. The images are
contained in tar files by flight.
