NOAA P-3 PMS Cloud Microphysical Data

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. Ascii files of particle size distribution over a 60-second processing period are available in this dataset. See companion dataset for corresponding images of the data in gmeta format.
