Holographic Detector for Clouds (HOLODEC)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/619.002

Summary
This dataset contains measurements of cloud particle size distributions
collected during the ESCAPE project using an airborne holographic instrument.
The HOLODEC-II is a second-generation version of a holographic detecter
designed to determine the size, two-dimensional shape, and three-dimensional
position of hydrometeors via digital in-line holography. Advantages vs other
hydrometeor detectors are that the sample volume is not size dependent,
relative positions of hydrometeors in the sample volume can be determined in
three dimensions, and effects produced by shattering from the aperture edges
can be identified and eliminated. Automated analysis programs have been
developed to process the holograms collected and produce size distributions.
HOLODEC-II has sufficient resolution to determine the sizes and locations of
cloud droplets as well as ice crystals.
