Optical Ice Detector Cloud Phase and Water Content Data [Collins Aerospace
Inc.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/567.014

Summary
This data set includes the measurements acquired from the Collins Aerospace
Optical Ice Detector (OID) during the High Ice Water Content (HIWC) Radar
Study flight campaign. The HIWC Radar Study project took place in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida; Palmdale, California; and Kona, Hawaii. The Optical Ice
Detector is a polarimetric cloud LIDAR system capable of discriminating cloud
phase and measuring water content. Cloud phase and water content are computed
from measurements of optical extinction, backscatter, and depolarization
derived from cloud LIDAR reflections.
