NRC Convair-580 Flight Summaries
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/612.064

Summary
This dataset is comprised of a series of PDF flight summaries that describe
the general microphysical characteristics that were recorded along each flight
leg for the 9 research flight missions of the WINTRE-MIX NRC Convair-580
aircraft. Each summary includes a written overview of the IOP and orientation
of performed flight legs as well as a description of the microphysical
characteristics of cloud measured along each transect by the NRC Convair-580.
Several figures are provided for each flight leg detailing microphysical
parameters such as particle number concentration and mean size distributions
measured across these periods. Particle imagery from the 2DS probe is also
provided for select periods across all flight legs to demonstrate the cloud
composition of the weather systems of focus for each flight. General
atmospheric state statistics are also provided in these summaries, as well as
any data limitations observed with the parameters provided in each summary.
