BAMEX: NOAA P-3 PMS Cloud Microphysical Images

Summary

This dataset contains observations of the vertical variability of cloud microphysical properties in stratiform areas behind bow echoes collected by the NOAA P-3 while flying Lagrangian spiral descents through horizontally extensive stratiform areas. Images of the data in gmeta format are available in this dataset.
