Cloud Combination Probe (Cloud Droplet Probe) |
| Acronym |
CCP-CDP |
| Description |
The DMT instruments included in the CCP are the Cloud Imaging Probe grayscale (CIPg) and the Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP).
Measured Particle Size Range:
CDP: 2 µm to 50 µm;
CIPg: 7.5 – 930 µm.
How it Works:
The CDP, which measures smaller particles, relies on light-scattering rather than imaging techniques. Particles scatter light from an incident laser, and collecting optics guide the light scattered in the 4° to 12° range into a forward-sizing photodetector. This light is measured and used to infer particle size.
