2DC and 2DP Raw Base Files and Housekeeping
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/6.75

Summary
This dataset contains the raw image data from the PMS 2DC and 2DP probes. Each
file contains the data for both probes.2D-C, cloud probe, there are 32 25um
diodes for a sample aperture 0.8 mm wide. 2D-P, precipitation probe, there are
32 200um diodes, for a sample aperture of 6.4 mm.

Identifiers
 * Local archive identifier: 6.75

Versions
  1.0: The 2DC data for the flights RF01 through RF10 is compromised. The true
airspeed clock to the probe was fixed at 25 m/s resulting in the data
being undersampled by 20% to 25% (particles are heavily squished).
