Cloud Droplet Analyzer

High-Resolution Aerosol spectrometer for insitu cloud monitoring of droplets and ice crystals

Description

The Cloud Droplet Analyzer is a high-resolution optical aerosolspectrometer optimized for measuring size distribution and number concentration of cloud aerosols like droplets and ice crystals. Based on the measurement principle of optical light scattering (90°) on single particles and high resolution components droplets and ice crystals can be distinguished.

The optical sensor is also used in research applications from KIT for Ice Nucleation Studies at AIDA -Chamber

Additionally the cloud water content as well as mean droplet diameter can be reported.
