2DC and 2DP Size Distribution Data in NetCDF format https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/6.76 Summary This dataset consists of cloud particle size distributions from two wing-mounted instruments installed on the NCAR C-130 aircraft during ACE-1: the PMS Two-Dimensional Cloud probe (2D-C), and the PMS Two-Dimensional Precipitation probe (2D-P). The raw data were reprocessed in 2025 using the NCAR/MMM SODA-1 data processing software. This is reprocessed data extracted in 2025 Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 6.76 Versions 0.1 0.2: Fixes file format issues. This updates to remove legacy zeroth bin, and fixes FirstBin & LastBin meta-data. Citation Bansemer, A. 2025. 2DC and 2DP Size Distribution Data in NetCDF format. Version 0.2 [PRELIMINARY].
