PACDEX: PMS-2D Two-dimensional Cloud Probe data

Summary

This dataset contains raw (binary "filmstrip" imagery) files of PMS-2D data collected by the G-V during PACDEX. Summary data have been merged with the "NCAR GV (HIAPER) LRT (1-sps) Flight-Level Data" These data are in a format compatible with xpms2d, available from the EOL xpms2d download page. The following table lists flight date and times, during which data is available.
