Abstract:
During the HALO-(AC)³ field campaign in spring 2022, the Basler BT-67 research aircraft Polar 6, based in Spitzbergen (78.24 N, 15.49 E), was equipped with an advanced in situ cloud payload by the DLR. This payload contained a combination of cloud instruments, including the Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP), the Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP), and the Precipitation Imaging Probe (PIP). The published data contain the particle size distributions measured by each particle measurement system. The respective instruments operate in different size ranges, and by combining their data, an additional data set is calculated that covers cloud particles in the size range from 2.8 µm to 6400 µm. Microphysical cloud properties such as cloud particle number concentration, liquid water content, ice water content, and effective diameter are derived from the given particle size distributions. The in situ cloud measurements focused on low and mid-level clouds in the Fram Strait, over the sea ice and the open ocean. The measurement campaign is embedded in the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre TR 172 (ArctiC Amplification: Climate Relevant Atmospheric and SurfaCe Processes, and Feedback Mechanisms (AC)³).
