The cloud, aerosol and precipitation spectrometer: a new instrument for cloud investigations
Jonsson_The_cloud_2001.pdf (325.3Kb)Abstract
A new airborne particle spectrometer has been developed with the same measurement capabilities
of the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probes (FSSP) models 100 and 300 (FSSP-300 and FSSP-
100), two-dimensional optical imaging probe (2D-OAP), the Multiangle Aerosol Spectrometer Probe
(MASP) and hot-wire liquid water probe, but with a single integrated system. The cloud, aerosol and
precipitation spectrometer (CAPS) measures particles from 0.35 mm to 1.55 mm in diameter and
liquid water content (LWC) from 0.01 to 3 g m 3. In addition to combining five probes into one, it
measures airspeed at the sample volume and transmits a data stream that requires no special
interfaces to communicate with most computers.
