Abstract:

This data set contains particle size distributions of spherical and aspherical cloud particles between 5 and 45 microns with a 10-second time resolution calculated from the Small Ice Detector Mark 3 (SID-3). The SID-3 detects individual cloud particles passing a 532 nm laser beam using two nested trigger detectors. The trigger signal is recorded as a histogram with a maximum rate of 11 kHz that can be used to derive particle size distributions by using the procedure described in Vochezer et al. (2016), doi:10.5194/amt-9-159-2016. For a sub-set of triggered particles a two-dimensional (2-D) scattering pattern is recorded that can be analysed for particle sphericity by a specifically developed image analysis software. Occasionally, coincidence sampling in the camera field of view causes optical distortions of the 2-D scattering patterns of liquid droplets and, consequently, a misclassification of such scattering patterns to be aspherical by the classification software. For the subsequent identification and re-classification of coincidence scattering patterns a machine learning (ML) algorithm was developed.
From the numbers of observed spherical and aspherical 2-D scattering patterns the fractions of spherical and aspherical particles are derived. ... mehr
