Definition
- The Cloud Particle Imager (CPI): CPIs sold to NASA, NCAR, University of Washington, University of North Dakota, Canadian Meteorological Society, University of Manchester CPIs operated in several field campaigns including: NASA TRMM, NASA EOS, NASA CAMEX, NSF SHEBA, NSF Antarctica Program, NCAR/FAA MWISP, DOE ARM, Canadian Atlantic Storms Project, Canadian, Freezing, Drizzle Experiment, Alliance Icing Research Study,NSF Cloud Study, Australian Emerald Project High-resolution (2.3 micron pixel size) digital images of particles recorded as particles pass through the sample volume at speeds up to 200 m/s. Real time image processing crops particle images, eliminating blank space and compressing data by >1000:1 ? Data analysis software automatically classifies ice crystal habits and separates water drops from ice particles.
