CAESAR: University of California, Riverside Composite Aerosol Size Distribution Data

Summary

Composite aerosol size distributions collected aboard the NSF NCAR C-130 aircraft during the CAESAR campaign. This value added data product composites data from the Mobility Particle Size Spectrometer (MPSS), Single Particle Soot Photmeter (SP2), Ultra-High Sensitivity Aerosol Spectrometer (UHSAS), Passive Cavity Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (PCASP), Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP), and Condensation Nuclei (CN).
